Included are:
Shadow Mountain – Access to the St, Mary’s River
The issue of access to the river through the piece of land to be purchased by the city for parkland remains contentious. Differing opinions on interpretation of the St Mary Neighbourhood Plan are evident. Strong public opinion exists around this topic. For the Chief Administration Officer’s interpretation please read at the above link.
Economic Development
The city recently participated in several initiatives of the Economic Development Association of BC. A one page advertorial and associated one page advertisement will appear in the 2011 Invest in BC magazine. This magazine has wide distribution both on the North American Continent and throughout the world.
The glowing advertisement can be read at the above link.
Engineering
Engineering will host 25 Selkirk students on a tour of Cranbrook’s Waste Water Treatment System.
It is interesting to note that local citizens have not been offered this opportunity despite requests.

Interesting to note that in the Administration Updates for March 7th Council Meeting it states with regard to a proposed subdivision in the Gold Creek Area
ReplyDeleteThe City has consistently not supported the fragmentation of land into smaller parcels around its boundaries within a 10km distance from the post office. This is due to the cumulative impacts the practice has on constraining future growth prospects and the pressure such development places on infrastructure and services without contributing to their maintenance.
Hmm, anonymous does have a point there, I wonder how that is all going to turn out. Also what areas are there proposed to be tree removal services, and where would they take the lumber? It seems to me that they could be put to good use.
