Mr. Harper:
I write about your directing our military to revert to the use of British military rank insignias and designations after 45 years of a home-grown Canadian system. I also note that you previously had directed our services to revert to 'Royal' services in name, indicating service under the Queen of England.
My wife and I spent 16 years out of country and...

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.

It has recently been stated in a local news publication that “Rossland held the notorious tag as the fattest energy town in BC last year”. This deserves comment and correction.
Where on Earth does this myth originate? If this originates from the Energy Diet folks, they should do their homework before making such statements. A draft Community...

Dear editor,

Many of my friends and I have been discussing politics lately with the Provincial Election happening next week. I, like the others, have been uncertain where my voice will be heard.
Who will represent me, and my conservative values of fiscal responsibility and free enterprise? Generally I vote Conservative but currently there...

I have seen the damage the “Liberal“ party has done to our province since being elected in 2001.
- Jumbo wild is a beautiful, pristine and magical place that needs to be protected. Christy Clark has ignored the enormous public protest of the people in the Kootenay’s and is bending the laws by setting up a municipality where there...

Neither Teck nor the BC government has denied the well documented facts reiterated by the recent selenium study quoted in Wildsight and its partners’ media release on the poisoning of the Elk River.
B.C. Environment Minister Terry Lake reacted by the afternoon of our release stating that there would be no new coalmines...

A recent study out of the U.S. has generated much discussion about the health of the Elk River.
As the operator of five steelmaking coal mines in the Elk Valley, which employ over 4,000 people who live in the region, we take environmental issues very seriously.
Our people raise their families in the Valley, fish in the...
