Hope has received the coveted Five Bloom award and a special mention for the Othello-Quintette Tunnels in the 2013 provincial Communities in Bloom competi-tion.

The award was handed out over the weekend in Kamloops, with nine delegates from Hope present at the ceremony.

“It’s very good exposure for us. The group is very happy to suc-ceed like we have,” said Victor Smith, chair of the Hope Com-munities in Bloom Committee. “Communities in Bloom is more than just flowers. It’s about the

overall town and quality of life.” The provincial Communities in

Bloom judges toured the commu-nity in July and made short stops at numerous points of interest, including You Grow Food Aqua-ponics and Thacker Marsh. They were also treated to a tour of the area in the air, courtesy of Valley Helicopters.

The community was evaluated on things like floral displays, heri-tage conservation, volunteerism, infrastructure, tidiness of the town, special developments, and projects and partnerships.

The judges noted that the com-munity has much to offer people who either pass through town or

choose to stay and visit. They were impressed by the dedicated team of volunteers who “go above and beyond what is expected.” In their evaluation, they also noted that the Othello-Quintette Tunnels are not just an asset to Hope but to the province.

“These tunnels are obviously the pride of the community,” the judges said. “The tunnels were built at great danger to the many workers who toiled there. The ter-rain is unbelievably difficult, and it’s hard to fathom how the spans were constructed without loss of life.”

They suggested that some sig-nage and story boards be erected

to pay homage to courageousworkers.

The provincial Communities inBloom program aims to inspirecommunities to enhance and sus-tain the visual appeal of neigh-bourhoods, public spaces, parksand streetscapes through theimaginative use of regionally-ap-propriate plants and landscapingwith attention to environmentalstewardship and to preserve heri-tage and cultural assets.

The local Communities inBloom Committee received $5,000in funding from the district thisyear and relied on 32 volunteers torun the program, logging a total of406 hours.

Local eatery makes Maclean’s listKerrie-Ann SchoenitHope Standard

Owl Street Cafe is get-ting nationwide exposure aft er making a top 10 list published by Maclean’s magazine this year.

In 2012, the publica-tion asked readers to share their favorite high-way eats from coast to coast and the local restau-rant topped the list.

“We’re elated, but we’re more in shock then any-thing. To be one of two places in B.C., that’s pretty awesome. We’re taken back actually,” said owner Graeme Blair, who runs Owl Street Cafe with his wife Sonia. “When it comes from the readers,

it’s obviously people who have experienced our res-taurant. It’s kind of neat.”

According to Ma-clean’s, readers noted how the food is fresh and made to order. Blair said they strive to provide “good food at a moderate price,”

and buy local where pos-sible. Owl Street Cafe of-fers home-cooked meals and nothing but soup is pre-made. Th e roast beef and meat loaf are also prepared every morning.

Blair said visitors from around the world stop

in on their way throughtown, many who have re-ceived a personal recom-mendation.

“We’ve been very fortu-nate with our advertisingas far as word of mouth,”added Blair.

Th e list is published inTh e Maclean’s Book ofLists, Vol. 2, which con-tains information on avariety of topics includ-ing what famous for-eigners like Napoleonand Charles Dickens re-ally thought of Canada,which NHL players growthe best playoff beards,the 10 best cities to raisekids, and why Franklin D.Roosevelt was digging forburied treasure in NovaScotia.

Air puri ers are really air cleaners and won’t remove gaseous pollutants like cigarette smoke. Since particles of tobacco smoke are designed to be inhaled into the lungs, they are quite small. The best protection from second-hand smoke is to not allow smokers to smoke in your house.We tend not to run

to the doctor for every little symptom but some symptoms can’t be ignored. These include the following: a persistent or high fever;

shortness of breath; weight-loss that you can’t explain; ashes of light in the eyes; sudden mental changes like confusion or disorientation. If you experience any of these, see your doctor right away.If you have a sore throat,

it always feels worse in the morning because your throat gets dry overnight. To soothe a sore throat, keep it moist. Suck on lozenges or hard candies to stimulate saliva production. Drinking plenty of uids is also important. If

the sore throat persists for more than a few days, see your doctor.

This year’s u vaccine will contain protection against four strains of u virus rather than the three we are used to in the past. Called a quadrivalent vaccine, it will contain vaccine to protect against two strains of both In uenza A and In uenza B. This new vaccine promises to be more effective for people over 65.

Almost half of preschoolers are not ready for school

Jessica PetersBlack Press

Young children in Agassiz, Harrison Hot Springs and Hope are among the least ready for school in the prov-ince, according to a recently released community summary.

The report, created through UBC’s Hu-man Early Learning Partnership, measures vulnerability in kin-dergarten aged chil-dren across B.C.

While the provin-cial average is 32.5 per cent vulnerabil-ity, Fraser-Cascade school district re-ceived a rate of 45 per cent.

“This is shocking,” school trustee Marv Cope said at this Tuesday’s board meet-ing in Agassiz.

“Before they even get to school, they’re way behind.”

The report breaks down the vulnerabili-ties in an attempt to help communities focus on where to fo-cus their energies for early childhood edu-cation.

Superintendent Dr. Karen Nelson point-ed out that the Early Childhood Educa-tion committee has worked hard to fill the need in the com-munity, through suc-cessful programs like StrongStart.

The report breaks down vul-n e r a b i l i -ties into s e p a r a t e scales for p h y s i c a l w e l l - b e -ing, so-cial com-p e t e n c e , emotional m at u r i t y, l a n g u a g e and cognitive devel-opment, and commu-nication skills.

F r a s e r - C a s c a d e children are the most vulnerable when it comes to physical health and well-being, at 26 per cent.

However, language and cognitive skills was fairly low at eight per cent vulnerability, and falling over previ-ous years. That is like-ly due to the focus on

literacy in the region, district staff said.

The numbers were different between Hope and Agassiz/Harrison, with Hope receiving a rate of 49 per cent overall vul-nerability.

In Agassiz/Harri-son, the rate is cur-

rently 39 per cent.

P r o v -incewide, about one third of c h i l d r e n are report-edly not p r e p a r e d for kinder-garten.

“It’s very worrisome,” Nelson said, and brings chal-lenges to the school system as they help students catch up. “We’ll keep trying.”

The study has been held in ‘waves’ since 1999, with this year’s report being wave five.

Agassiz and Har-rison Hot Springs are listed as increasing in vulnerability, while Hope has had no crit-

ical change since the last report.

Nelson mentioned that perhaps trans-portation to various early education pro-grams is one barrier to development be-fore kindergarten. The results are based on where the children live, not where they go to school. A total of 222 kindergarten students participated in the Fraser-Cascade this year.

Finally, the report states that all envi-ronmental influences need to work to-gether to for optimal development, from the family and neigh-bourhood, to the re-gion, nation and even global environment.

United Way offers local grantsTh e United Way has $90,000

available for programs focusing on reducing poverty, reducing homelessness or ensuring chil-dren 0 - 6 succeed.

Any charitable organization in the Fraser Valley may apply for funding to address one of those issues. To be eligible for a grant, programs or projects must be preventative in nature and be for a new project, the expansion of a program or to

continue a currently funded program. Funding will be dis-tributed in April 2014. Applica-tion deadline is 4 p.m. on Nov. 15. Applications for grants are available online at www.uwfv.bc.ca under What We Do.

In April, priority grants were distributed to 14 local organi-zations for 15 diff erent projects in the Fraser Valley. Funded projects mostly focus on skills development, from youth de-

veloping skills to maintain housing to skills development for single mothers to assist with employment opportunities.

One of the programs funded last year was through the Ann Davis Transition Society. Th e grant paid for an outreach worker to help with fi nancial, social, and parenting skills. Sardis Doorway also received funding for skills development for single moms with young

children.“Priority Grants are just one

of the many funding opportu-nities United Way provides,” said Wayne Green, executive director of United Way.

“People oft en don’t link their monthly payroll deduction to lasting changes in the com-munity. With these grants, our supporters see how we change people’s lives. Change starts here.”

B.C. marijuana referendum misguided

I won’t be signing the “Sensible B.C.” petition to demand a prov-incewide referendum on mari-juana enforcement. You shouldn’t either, and here are a few reasons why.

Let me start by saying I’ve been calling for legalization and regu-lation of pot for 20 years, to con-serve police resources and reduce violent crime. Our war on drugs is a failure even for heroin and co-caine, and marijuana is obviously much easier to produce.

But the current eff ort led by Dana Larsen, B.C.’s clown prince of pot, is not only misguided, it’s dangerous.

Th e petition does not propose

legalization. It seeks to impose a provincial law that would stop B.C. police from using any resources for simple possession charges. Th is would create a loophole in the fed-eral drug law.

So what would that do? It would protect otherwise innocent cus-tomers of the current illegal mari-juana trade, while leaving the criminal distribution business in place.

For a closer look at that, I rec-ommend reports from the Surrey Six murder trial now underway, or the upcoming case against three accused assassins of Red Scor-pion gangster Jonathan Bacon in Kelowna.

Larsen’s loony law would tie po-lice hands when they are trying to hold someone on a lesser charge while they search for evidence of something nastier. Th is is a source of many simple possession charges today.

Police chiefs have a diff erent idea, asking for the option of treat-ing simple possession as a ticket off ence to keep the court time to a minimum.

Both of these notions have the same obvious fl aws. Th ey don’t deal with sales to minors and they divert no revenue to govern-ment, leaving most of that in the hands of criminal dealers who buy cocaine, guns and fancy cars.

Colorado and Washington have gone the legalization route, so far without interference from their federal government. Th ese states need money, and they don’t need more crime or ill-considered hippy gesture politics.

Meanwhile in Ottawa, Health Canada is trying to convert a poor-ly regulated mess of small-scale medical marijuana licences to a free-market system of commercial producers.

Local politicians tore a strip off

Health Canada offi cials at their recent convention, aft er years of warnings that federal licences were scattered at unknown locations, oft en used as fronts for larger grow-ops.

Mission Coun. Dave Hensman predicted that when a grower gets a letter cancelling his licence, he’s more likely to roll up a big joint with it than to shut down. Burnaby Coun. Nick Volkow sug-gested the response would echo an old Cheech and Chong routine: “Dave’s not here, man.”

Here’s another reason not to support Larsen: the conduct of his organizers.

One fellow set up a petition table at, of all places, the Terry Fox Hometown Run in Port Co-quitlam. Aft er scrawling “pot cures cancer” on the table, he proceeded to interrupt speeches by cancer survivors and the run itself by yell-ing the same false slogan.

You can imagine how peoplewith terminal cancer and theirloved ones would react. Somewould know that marijuana mayalleviate side eff ects of chemother-apy, just as it can ease suff ering forsome multiple sclerosis patients.But the suggestion of a cure is ascruel as it is moronic.

Larsen’s “cannibus” has beenrolling around B.C., reaping un-critical media coverage. It evenblundered into the recent Walk forReconciliation in Vancouver, anevent to mark the end of federalhearings into the eff ects of residen-tial schools on aboriginal children.

I wouldn’t support the Larsenbunch for anything, unless it in-volved them looking for jobs. Justsay no.

OpinionPublished at Hope, Boston Bar, Yale and surrounding area by Black Press

Lessons learned from tragedyIs the world a safer place for kids since Port Coquitlam teen Amanda Todd killed

herself on Oct. 10, 2012 aft er posting that heart-wrenching video seen around the world?

No, but we have learned a few things since. We’ve learned, for example, that the internet can be a rough, cruel world for kids

unless they are taught how to protect themselves and their privacy — and we know that the internet is a powerful tool for ruining someone’s reputation.

We’ve seen that vulnerable girls and boys are easily exploited online by voyeurs who lure them with false names and post their pictures and videos, sometimes with devastating consequences.

We learned, as well, that rape culture is so deeply engrained in our society that Canadian university students didn’t see anything wrong with frosh week chants about sex with underage girls until authorities found out and put a stop to it.

We’ve learned that it’s easy to troll the internet for photos and then post them, without consent, as a Facebook dating chat room did with a picture of Rehtaeh Parsons (the Nova Scotia teen who committed suicide aft er photos of an alleged gang-rape were posted).

Simply put, laws are inadequate for dealing with meanness and stupidity on the web. Even Port Coquitlam couldn’t fi nd a way to legislate against bullying.

But there has been some action, too. B.C.’s ERASE Bullying website, available during the school year, provides resources for families with bullying concerns, and administrators and school counsellors are being trained to identify and support at-risk youth.

Th e Kids Help Phone got more publicity about its services for kids and School District 43 has a new digital responsibility policy for teachers, students and parents working on the web.

Even workplace bullying has received a higher profi le in the year since Todd’s death, with a new Workplace BC website addressing the issue, and the BC Coro-ner’s Service studied youth suicide this fall and recommended more collaboration and resources.

Will all this talk prevent another Amanda Todd situation from occurring?Maybe not, but we can no longer have ignorance as an excuse.

QUESTION OF THE WEEK:

Would you support the return of happy

hour to B.C. bars and restaurants?

Here’s how you responded:

Yes 71% No 29/%

LAST WEEK WE ASKED:

Th e failure of the U.S. government to continue to operate is yet another example of how screwed up our colo-nial style governments really are.

While we have democratic elec-tions, we do not have democratic gov-ernments.

Our politicians do not want democ-racy and arrogantly insist on forming one dysfunctional minority govern-ment aft er another.

Th ey also insist on using an elector-al system that continues to award po-litical parties the majority of the seats in the legislatures while representing only about a third of the people.

To make matters worse, party dis-cipline has such a lock on our legis-

latures that we have become a virtual dictatorship.

Party discipline has stripped all po-litical powers from the people who should be spearheading the process of political reform we so desperately need.

Instead, they have been trans-formed into useless puppets that are compelled to serving their political masters instead of the people they were elected to represent.

What a disconnect.In the U.S., lobbying is so en-

trenched that “Corporate America” controls the political system, and Wall Street can continue to rape and plun-der the middle class with impunity, as

legislation that would provide much needed transparency and regulatory safeties in the fi nancial sector are stuck in a gridlocked Congress.

To insist on colonial rule is to insist on living in the past.

It has devastated Canadian Indians and Inuits who have been denied the opportunity to transition into the 21st Century socio-economic future of Canada.

Instead, they have been segregated and locked into a lifestyle of abject poverty without a glimmer of hope for relief anytime soon.

What we need is an electoral sys-tem like proportional representation that will fairly represent all our politi-

cal ideologies in our legislatures and at the same time produce democratic governments.

Honest democratic governments that represent more than 50 per cent of the people have a clear mandate to govern, and they do not need a Senate to provide balance and stability.

We have to get rid of our outdated, corrupt, and dysfunctional colonial electoral/political system before it de-stroys us socially, economically and politically, and we have to start the process now.

Th e last thing we need in Canada is a disaster like the one currently play-ing out south of our border.

Volunteers prepare to cross the Tulameen River as they

carry building materials into “Horseguard Camp” on the HBC

Trail over the weekend. Organized by the Hope Mountain Centre, this team of eight built a new fire ring,

benches, interpretive kiosk, and other amenities for backpackers

and horsemen to enjoy as they travel the HBC Trail. In total,

152 hours were donated to the project. “Horseguard” was one of five overnight camps used by the HBC horse “Brigades” during the 1850s, as they made the five-day crossing from Hope to Otter Lake.

Re: Science loses ground to superstition, B.C. Views (Oct. 3)

After reading Tom Fletcher’s fairy tale on how all environmental-ists are superstitious, I can’t imagine why he’d pick on the people that would lay down in front of a steamroller for his grandchildren.

Obviously, we’ve all been duped. There’s no

air pollution, our fish stocks are just amaz-ing, and the Atlantic salmon, there’s more than ever, they’re just hiding.

All those major oil spills, it’s actually good for the environment, keeps the fish oily, and quit worrying about treating the sewer, it cleans the oil off the fish.

Now, because of Da-vid Suzuki whining about air pollution, we have cleaner burn-ing fuels, putting good Hazmat people out of work.

What’s next? Con-vert everything to nat-ural gas and put even more of them out of work.

I tell you, if it were up to me, there’d be

a six-month bounty on environmentalists, twice a year.

Positive signs for economic growthI know that several

residents of Hope have grown weary of hearing about “our potential” as a community, but I think the time for talk-ing about it is over. It’s time to live it.

It’s big news for Hope that aft er 39 years in the grocery business, Heinz and Susan Schiller have sold Buy & Save Foods to Pattison Group – not only because of the plans to convert to a Buy-Low Foods, but also because it repre-sents a vote of confi -dence in the market by one of the area’s largest retailers.

Cooper’s Foods, which any local resi-dent can tell you does a booming business in the summer months, is also owned by Pattison Group. So a second lo-cation seems to confi rm they perceive strength and anticipate growth in

the Hope market, which should boost the con-fi dence of other major retailers currently con-sidering a location here.

Barrick Gold’s proj-ect planner, McKay Edwards, has been in the area lately meeting with local stake-holders to up-date them on the status of the planned all-season re-sort at the for-mer mine site just north of Hope. Local and regional partners are working together to provide support for the proposed redevel-opment project which would be a “game changer” in terms of tourism growth and economic development in the area.

When I asked Randy

Young, at Canyon Shell, if the Flying J opening up down the road has aff ected him, he let me know that not only has it not hurt his business, but he is on track to beat last year’s record sales

volume by another mil-lion litres of fuel this year. Th is is only one of several local retailers, both on the highway and d o w n t o w n , who have let us know that they are

poised to experience a record year in 2013.

I know I might be considered overly op-timistic, but that’s not something Hope Drive-In owner Gord Younie is oft en associated with. Yet when I asked him whether he felt this year’s strong perfor-

mance was an anomaly,or if it was the start ofa new reality in Hope,he confi rmed that heis sensing a heightenedlevel of interest in thecommunity and thinksthe increased activity inthe market is a trend wecan expect to continue.

It is very encouragingthat outside interestsrecognize the potentialthat many of us see inHope and are taking ac-tion to capitalize on it. Italso presents an oppor-tunity for us, as a com-munity, to put our bestforward at all times anddo our part to attracteven more investors.It’s our time Hope. Let’swork together to createa vibrant, prosperouscommunity.

Th is weekend will see many people visiting and passing through the Hope area as they make their way to the homes of friends and relatives to enjoy the Th anksgiving holiday together.

It is also a traditional “end of the travel season” long weekend that brings outdoor enthusiasts out for one last camping or hiking adventure.

So if you’re entertaining out of town guests, note that this is the last weekend you can enjoy the fl oral splendor of Minter Gardens at Bridal Falls. Th e gardens not only close for the 2013 season on Monday, Oct. 14, there are also no plans for them to re-open as owner Brian Minter announced the closure of these show gardens this past summer. If you have been driving by this world famous at-

traction all these years and have never visited, then this weekend is your last chance!

Th is weekend is also the last chance to enjoy a visit to Hell’s Gate Airtram as they fi nish their 2013 season on Monday, Oct. 14. Th ey will re-open in April 2014, but if you visit on Monday and bring a carved pumpkin, you will enjoy free admission and the op-portunity to drop your pumpkin from the tram for a chance to win prizes.

Campers should note that all of the campgrounds at Silver Lake Provincial Park, the Skagit Valley Provincial Park and Man-ning Provincial Park close for the year on Monday, Oct. 14. Th ere are however many private Hope campgrounds that continue to stay open year-round plus the

Lone Duck Campground at Man-ning will stay open throughoutthe winter.

Coquihalla Canyon ProvincialPark, home of the Othello-Quin-tette Tunnels, should be openuntil the end of the month if theweather conditions allow for it.So walks on the abandoned KettleValley Railway grade are also agreat idea for this coming week-end. Th e Alexandra Bridge Pro-vincial Park , Hope Museum andthe Yale Heritage Site have unfor-tunately already closed.

Th e Hope Visitor Centre willalso scale back operations aft erthis weekend but staff will be onhand to assist visitors on Saturdayand Sunday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.Aft er a closure for Th anksgivingMonday, it will be open daily from10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Pickleball offi cially debuted in Hope this spring, starting out at the Coquihalla gym. Due to tight end-line space, the game has been moved to Silver Creek’s gym, which off ers a bit more elbow room.

Jon Nigh, who pushed to get the sport going locally said, “It’s about two feet longer at each end, now, so that helps on the long shots. Th e rec commission has bought us two new portable nets, as well.”

Typically, they’ve been get-ting six players out, so Nigh said there is certainly room for more. Eight would be ideal, to have two courts going with doubles play. If more attend, a third court could be opened up. Paddles and balls are provided.

For the uninitiated, pickleball is played on a badminton court, with the net set roughly at tennis height. Th e ball is a whiffl e ball, about the size of a street hockey ball and the paddle is like an en-larged table tennis paddle, with a smooth surface.

Pickleball plays a lot like tennis but has its own set of rules — some of them as peculiar as the game’s name — that experienced players such as Nigh will be happy to ex-plain.

Unlike tennis or badminton, there’s not much mechanical ad-vantage to the paddle, so the game has a slightly slower pace. Th ere’s still a lot of opportunity for strat-egy, with lobs, slices, smashes and drop shots.

“When you get profi cient at it and get into rallies of eight or tens returns, you’re breathing hard and getting good cardio,” said Nigh. “If you play for a full two hours, you get a good workout. We have a lot of fun… lots of laughs.”

Nigh is so hooked on the game that he has been traveling to Chilliwack for sessions down

there. Tuesday nights, he goes to the Rosedale drop-in from 7 to 9 p.m. On some Wednesdays and Fridays, he goes to the sessions at Evergreen Hall, which run from 8 a.m. till noon.

“On those days, you could play for four hours,” said Nigh. “What else can you do for four hours, for only two bucks?”

Nigh and four or fi ve other Hope-based pickleball players travelled to Rosedale during the summer, where he said the Hope contingent made up the bulk of the players.

Badminton kept going during the summer in Hope — for the fi rst time ever — thanks to the in-terest shown by Nat Baker, a local

badminton enthusiast.Mandy Arbuckle, the new as-

sistant manager at the rec centre, said, “Nat approached me about keeping it going in the summer and the school district helped us facilitate getting into the school during the summer. We have a joint-use agreement with them.

Arbuckle sees positive trends in both sports.

“Badminton is one of the top fi ve sports for participation by adults in Canada — and pickleball is one of the fastest-growing sports.”

Brad Kurucz has been a regular at Hope drop-in badminton for the past seven or eight years and has recently been heading down to Rosedale for their drop-in ses-

sions.“Th ere are a lot of great things

about badminton,” said Kurucz. “It’s probably the easiest racquet sport for a beginner to play and actually have extended rallies.

“If playing just for fun, it’s very easy to get the bird back and forth, I’ve played with my 70-year-old mother and we can hit it around pretty well.

“As the skill levels go up, the game is very dynamic, with a lot of intensity, quickness, and pow-er. Th ere are all kinds of skills in-volved... footwork, tactics and de-ception.

“Personally, I’ve always loved smashing the bird. It feels good, like taking a slap shot, hitting a

home run or driving a golf ball 300yards. With really hard hitters, thebird can leave the racquet at over300 km/hour.

“Th e skill level down in Rosedaleis defi nitely a notch up from Hope.Doug Araki plays down there quiteoft en, and some of the other Hopeplayers come down now and againas well. It can be pretty challeng-ing, but there are also some lessintense games.

“In Rosedale, they play from 7to 10. Some people play the wholenight and others show up for whatworks for them. It would be nice ifHope went a bit later, too.”

Arbuckle said on Monday thatextended badminton hours are be-ing considered.

In Memory of

Zbigniew ( John) Bukowski

May 10,1936 to October 8th, 2012

He had a nature you could not help loving;

And a heart that was purer than gold;

And to those who knew and loved him;

His memory will never grow cold.

I who dearly loved him,Whose passing has brought many tears;

Will cherish his memory forever,

In the coming years.

I miss his smile, his touch, his laughter and

loving caring ways,I’m so thankful to have had him in my life for so many

wonderful days;Right now and forever he lives on in my memory;Gone from our sight but

not from our Hearts in any way.

His loving life partner and best friend, Donna

Land Act and Water ActNotice of Intention to Apply for a

Disposition of Crown Land and Allocation of Water:DEVELOPMENT PLAN PREPARATION

Take notice that Zella Holdings Ltd. (Zella) of Abbotsford BC, has applied to the Provincial Government for a hydroelectric power project. The Crown land tenure covers:

That part of Legal Subdivision 1, Section 29, Township 4, Range 27, West of the Sixth Meridian, New Westminster District and that parcel or tract of land in the vicinity of Lorenzetta Creek, together with unsurveyed foreshore or land covered by water being part of the bed of the Lorenzetta Creek, Yale Division of Yale District, containing 144.12 hectares, more or less.

This area is situated on Provincial Crown land located in the vicinity of Laidlaw BC, and along Lorenzetta Creek. The proposal includes the diversion of 0.6m^3/s of water from Lorenzetta Creek, which will be completely returned to the creek at about 50 meters of elevation. The water works included in the proposal are an intake/weir and intake pond, a water conveyance system, powerhouse and tailrace, and power line. Lower portions of the water conveyance system, as well as the powerhouse, tailrace and power line, are all located on Zella’s private property at 58751 McKay Rd, Laidlaw BC. The proposed point of diversion for the project is located at about 700 meters of elevation along Lorenzetta Creek, approximately 5.2 Kilometers upstream from the mouth of the creek.

The File Numbers that have been established for these applications are Land File 2410746 and Water File 2003546.
