To The Editor: I attended the climate change forum last night at the United Church and left the gathering with the same sense of concern and urgency that I arrived with. Despite the alarms being set off by young activists like Greta Thunberg and Autumn Peltier, I still do not see a willingness to take bold and decisive action...

To The Editor: Open Letter to NDP and Green Party Senior Staffers, Only when the NDP and the Greens Collaborate on strategic voting on a riding by riding basis, will I believe that principles are trumping partisanship. The science tells us that we are clearly at, or past irreversible tipping points re: the 6th great extinction....

To The Editor: In the words of Greta Thunberg: “how dare you pretend you are fit to govern!” For most of the last thirty-two years we have lived in this community, one or sometimes two of you political parties have held office at a provincial and federal level.

The descriptions given by politicians like ...

To The Editor: Any day now the BCUC will rule on whether rural Nelson hydro customers will be paying more for power than city customers. There is a clause in the Community Charter that says councillors can be held personally financially accountable. Might this apply to what I am presenting below? Nelson hydro's bylaw says...

To The Editor: Dear Wayne Stetski and Abra Brynn: I'm part of a group of people who are profoundly concerned about climate change. Many of us worked on the proportional representation campaign, and have been involved with the Green Party or the NDP or both in the past. I implore you to put the climate crisis ahead of partisanship...

To The Editor: I find the reasons for the glyphosate ban being forwarded by the RDCK bothmisguided and misleading. Forests Minister Doug Donaldson stated in 2018 that reforested areas were being sprayed to kill back broadleaf species and give conifers a chance to establish themselves. He further stated that the Ministry is ...

August 12, 2019 Dear Minister Heyman, On behalf of the City of Rossland’s council, I am writing to you to express our support for dissolving the Jumbo Glacier Resort Municipality.
