Are you heading out to your advance poll? In Castlegar, go to the Community Complex, in Trail to the Trail Memorial Centre, and in Rossland at the Royal Canadian Legion from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Saturday, Sunday and Monday. Election Day is Sept. 20 from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. (in Rossland, Election Day polling will be at The Prestige).
