Dear Editor:
My husband and I are visiting Castlegar for the Easter weekend.

Dear Editor,
For over 100 years Trail Operations has operated as a world class refinery and smelter in the West Kootenays of British Columbia.

Dear Editor,
It is my pleasure to write a letter supporting the Red Mountain Academy. I feel confident that an academic partnership between the Academy and Self Design High (SDH) will provide a favorable outcome for all involved; students, athletes and parents. It will be a “win win” situation for all.
Online schooling has demonstrated success...

Open letter to Premier Christy Clark:
Dear Premier Christy Clark.
Your ambition to pay off BC’s debt, and not burden the next generation with it, is praiseworthy.
But, have you really thought about the big picture?
Money and debt is a man-made creation and is not real. Natural gas...

Dear Editor,
Ken Holmes’ recent critique of the new Kootenay Energy Diet initiative was puzzling to me, not so much the pedantic detail offered to support his criticism, but rather the difficulty I have in...
