Hope Memorial Park was filled with poodles, huskies, spaniels
and shepherds, as over 50 people and their pampered pets got their
chance to express their outrage at the cull of 100 Whistler sled
dogs after the 2010 Olympics.
The peaceful protest walk, Sunday, Feb. 13, was organized by
Cathy Hirst and Jeneane Ruscheinsky and saw the placard-packing
group circumnavigate the town of Hope. The group started out from
Hope Memorial Park and walked two by two, like the sled dogs do, up
to the Old Hope-Princeton Way and back around town to the Wallace
street park.
Participants in the walk were encouraged to sign a petition in
support MP Mark
Hollands private members Bill C-229, which calls for tougher
penalties for those found guilty of animal cruelty. The bill also
calls for the closure of a number of loopholes in the criminal code
that make it difficult to enforce and prosecute animal cruelty
cases.
We have all been horrified over what we have learned over the
last two weeks, since this story broke, and it is great to see all
of you here, said Hirst. By attending this event we are creating a
public image of people who stand up for animals.
We all have the ability to make positive change in our country
for the right of dogs and all the animals that share our lives,
added Hirst.
Donations to the SPCA were also collected from walk participants
and visitors to the park.
Fifty walk for slain sled dogs
Michael and Hope Councillor Donna Kropp were just two of fifty
local residents, who came out with their beloved dogs, in protest
of the death of the Whistler 100 sled dogs.

Police search for prolic taggerA spray-painting vandal with
the signature tag of Wheat has been causing hundreds of dollars
in damage in downtown Hope for weeks now.
The graffiti artist first began making his mark by spray
painting a CN railway mechanical shed at the north end of Wallace
Street. He moved onto the brick wall of the lawyers offices, a
garbage container at Commission and Sixth Avenue, a wall under the
Hope-Fraser Bridge, and the back of numerous buildings
including schools, apartments and churches.
Several businesses over the last five weeks have been the target
of graffiti with a signature tag of the word wheat written in
various colours of spray paint. In all, over 15 properties have
been tagged, said RCMP Const. Tracy Wolbeck, in a press
release.
Police are asking for the public assistance in identifying a
suspect that was seen leaving after tagging a building. He is
described as Caucasian, 6 tall,
and in his late teens or early twenties. He has short dark hair,
glasses, and was wearing a white knit toque with ear tassels and a
white ski jacket.
Graffiti is a mischief offence and has the potential to cost
business owners hundreds of dollars to repair depending on the
extent of the graffiti, added Wolbeck.
If you have any information on the identity of the suspect call
the Hope RCMP detachment at 604-869-7750 or Crime Stoppers at
1-800-222-8477(TIPS).

OUR PHARMACISTS DISPENSE INFORMATION AS WELL AS MEDICATION
There is ample proof that uoride does prevent tooth decay and
dental associations around the world recommend uoride toothpastes.
Only a small amount is needed. For children under 3, use an amount
of toothpaste the size of a grain of rice with an adult doing the
brushing. For children 3-6, a pea-sized amount of paste is used
with adult assistance.
Further to the comment in a recent column about some parents
choos-ing not to immunize their children against disease, there was
an outbreak of measles last March through April in B.C. The disease
was brought in
by Olympic visitors and affected non-immunized children under ve
and adults between 30 and 39 who didnt receive their second measles
shot as children. Immunization does work.
People over the age of 55 dont absorb vitamin B-12 as well as
when they were young. Although not proven, there seems to be a link
between memory loss and low levels of B-12. Ensure you get at least
6 micrograms per day through taking a multivitamin and eating foods
rich in B-12 like liver and sardines.
Cancer is a preventable disease.
Some ways to do this are: breastfeed your baby; eat more
vegeta-bles & fruit and less red and processed meat; avoid
sugary drinks; keep your weight down to normal; exercise regularly;
limit salt and alcohol consumption.
Good advice: Before you take it, talk about it. Our pharmacists

Construction crews on the new Kawkawa Lake Road Bridge use a
backhoe to search for an old water line that supplies the 753 Water
System. The private system was reconnected, Tuesday, Feb 15, to a
new supply line built along the higher bridge approaches.
Construction on the Union Bar approach is expected to start
sometime after Friday, Feb 25, when Hydro and Telus crews are
expected to have also moved their services into alignment with the
new road.

KLR Bridge project a bit behind, but on budget: mayorSimone
RolphThe Hope Standard
Kawkawa Lake area residents are experiencing a series of service
outages this week as crews on the Kawkawa Lake Road Bridge come
into the final construction stages.
On Tuesday, Feb. 15, the 753 Water System was connected up to
new supply lines at new bridge, cutting water to homes for up to
seven
hours.The moving of the power
poles and lines into proper alignment with the new roadway is
expected to cut power to homes in the area, on Saturday.
The bridge project is a little behind schedule and a
construction permit extension has been granted due to winter
weather conditions and the longer time needed to set the bridge
pylons.
With the old bridge still able to handle the traffic flow there
has been no reason to push the project ahead unnecessarily, said
Mayor Laurie French.
With BC Hydro coming this weekend and Telus crews scheduled
right behind them, the mayor expects that work on the Union Bar
Road approach will begin shortly after Friday, Feb. 25. While the
new bridge approach is
being constructed, traffic will be diverted off the old bridge
and across the new bridge, says the Mayor.
According to the mayor, the KLR Bridge project is on budget,
with a couple of small overages easily covered by the contingency
fund built into the contract.
An official opening ceremony for the bridge is being planned for
mid-March.

Canyon residents hit hard by outagesBy Robert FreemanBlack
Press
Wire theft is putting residents safety at risk, especially those
living with little or no cellphone service in remote areas of the
region.
Telephone land lines have been cut by copper wire thieves
leaving thousands without service, and even electric highway safety
signs have been put out of commission, leaving drivers at risk,
police said.
Some residents in the Yale and Boston Bar area were stranded for
weeks without telephone service after an ice storm and a landslide
delayed repairs to damaged land lines.
We have no cellphone service, which makes it really troublesome
when land
lines arent repaired, Lloyd Foreman, Boston Bar area director at
the Fraser Valley Regional District, said after last months board
meeting.
Foreman and Yale area director Dennis Adamson called on the FVRD
board to send a strongly-worded letter to Telus about the service
delay.
But Telus spokesman Shawn Hall said repair crews couldnt reach
land lines damaged by the ice storm because the landslide closed
access roads, and then the metal thieves
hit, taking copper wiring the company had paid hundreds of
thousands of dollars to bury underground.
And last Monday, metal thieves hit Telus again, breaking into an
armored conduit under the Hope Bridge, shutting down about 250
voice and Internet customers, as well as a cellphone tower, he
said.
All for about 10 feet of copper wire, worth about five bucks to
scrap metal dealers.
Hall said Telus is happy to talk with the regional district
about solving the problem, and is actively working with the RCMP
to put metal thieves out of business.
Theyre putting our customers at risk, leaving them without 911
service, he said.
The RCMP is asking the public to report any suspicious activity
around power poles and other locations with copper wiring.
Most of the thefts have taken place in the daytime, in
heavily-populated areas, so police believe there must be
witnesses.
Anyone with information is asked to call the Hope RCMP at
604-869-7750.
Tips can also be called in to Crime Stoppers at 1-888-222-TIPS
or made online at www.chilliwackcrimestop-pers.ca.
Area directors Lloyd Foreman Dennis Adamson called on the FVRD
board to send a
strongly-worded letter to Telus about the service delay.

Parents asks for the publics help in locating daughter
The family and friends of 23-year-old Nikita Cheryl-Lynn Jack
are frantically trying contact her after she disappeared, Thursday,
Feb. 10.
Nikita Jack dropped off her three year-old daughter at her
cousins home and was
expected to pick the child up in the evening. She never
arrived.
Leaving her daughter behind is out of character for the young
mother and the family is asking for the publics assistance in
trying to locate her.
Nikita Jack is of First Nations descent, 5 5 tall and has two
tattoos of initials of NJ on the top of her left hand, and ZK on
the top of her right hand.
Her mother, Angie Isaac, of Spuzzum, has been frantically
posting messages to her daughter on Facebook in the hope of
contacting her or someone who has seen her.
Nikita Jack may have left Surrey for Kamloops.
Nikita Jack was one of two graduates in the Boston Bar Secondary
School Class of 2005.
The family asks anyone with information to please call the
Surrey RCMP at 604-599-0502.

Young mother missing
A few good mentors neededJessica PetersBlack Press
For teenagers, being in trouble with the law can feel like the
end of the world.
They may ask, how did I get into this mess?
Maybe they were in the wrong place at the wrong time or got
mixed up with the wrong people.
But no matter why theyre in trouble, its Restorative Justices
focus to get them back on track. Through a series of meetings,
young offenders can often stay out of the traditional court system.
They meet with their victims, and other people in the community
impacted by their crimes.
Those meetings are made possible by a group of dedicated mentors
and facilitators. In Chilliwack, there are about 40 adults who give
their time to Restorative Justice. Many of those volunteers end up
driving to Agassiz to help the youth in this community says Kim
McLandress, executive director of Chilliwack Restorative
Justice.
We really want to build up a volunteer
base in Agassiz, she says.
The kids who are eligible to participate in Restorative Justice
are generally first time offenders who have admitted their guilt
and are prepared to do some work to repay the community for the
harm theyve caused.
Just having someone support them can make a difference in a
young offenders life, she says.
The typical volunteer facilitator has a few hours a week, or
month, to spend with a youth.
Theyll have some sort of life skills, McLandress says, and
generally want to give back to the community.
In Agassiz this past year, Restorative Justice handled 23
referrals. In Hope, where theyre also looking for volunteers, the
number was 16.
The local RCMP say that most kids who go through the program
dont seem to re-offend.
I think it works for most kids, he says.
For those who dont follow through with the program, or who
re-offend, the next step is the regular court system.
This is all about
having accountability for what theyve done, McCarthy says. Often
the kid was just in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Facing a victim, and doing some sort of community service, helps
put their crime in perspective, he adds.
Volunteers are given thorough training, McLandress says, and sit
through a handful of sessions with a trained facilitator before
handling cases themselves.
Whether someone volunteers for a year, or a lifetime, those
mediation skills are good to have, she adds.
While it can sometimes be emotional, even heated, during
mediations between victims and offenders, McLandress says that the
program is only available in cases where everyone involved is
willing to participate.
Everyone has to agree to be involved, she says. If the offender
is not willing to accept responsibility, its not going to work.
There are bonuses for the victims of crime to be involved in
Restorative Justice, too.

Justice
In a typical court case, a victim will usually never get to ask
an offender questions, or explain how theyve been wronged.
And thats an important piece of the puzzle when a victim is
trying to forgive and move on, McLandress says.
This way they can communicate back and forth, she says. They can
address the person directly. They can get an apology, and answers.
They can get some closure.

Rural voters maintain advantageVICTORIA There arent too
many benefits to living in B.C.s vast hinterlands, compared to
the southwest where three quarters of B.C. residents reside.
A few advantages of rural life spring to mind: its quieter,
traffic jams are fewer and shorter, and real estate prices are more
reasonable.
Another advantage is little noticed, but significant just the
same. Rural voters have more clout than their urban c o u n t e r p
a r t s . There can be as many as three times the number of voters
in a Metro Vancouver constituency as in one of the remote northern
seats, but each gets one MLA.
That advantage was reinforced during the 2008 electoral boundary
redistribution, when the B.C. Liberal government decided not to
eliminate rural seats a move recommended by an independent
commission to equalize representation in the B.C. legislature.
Instead, both the B.C. Liberals and the NDP supported adding six
extra seats, in the Fraser Valley, Lower Mainland, Okanagan and
Southern Vancouver Island. That narrowed the gap, but the other
regions remain over-represented in Victoria.
The B.C. Liberal Party has now moved to match this rural
clout
in its own leadership vote, set for Feb. 26. At a weekend
convention, party delegates voted almost unanimously to get rid of
the one member-one vote system that put Vancouverite Gordon
Campbell into the leadership 17 years ago.
The new weighted voting system ensures that constituencies with
small memberships have the same influence in the leadership contest
as those who have signed up thousands of new members in urban
areas. A rural members vote might be up to 10 times as powerful as
one in Surrey, where many new members have been signed up.
As one delegate pointed out, this isnt strictly a rural-urban
thing. In NDP strongholds such as East Vancouver or Nanaimo, there
are large populations but only a hardy little band of B.C. Liberal
stalwarts maintaining membership in a constituency the party has
little chance of winning.
There wasnt much grumbling about this decision. Most B.C.
Liberals agreed with the candidates that sticking with a one
member-one vote system would mean only urban candidates have a
chance of leading the party.
Kootenay East MLA Bill Bennett was one of those advocating the
change to weighted voting, before his noisy expulsion from the B.C.
Liberal cabinet and caucus last fall. Still a faithful party
member, Bennett urged delegates to adopt the new system, partly
because it gives the party a huge advantage
over the NDP.The NDP is selecting its next leader
in April, using the one member-one vote system for the first
time. NDP leadership candidates have also signed up thousands of
new members, most of them from urban constituencies.
The NDP now risks becoming the party of the urban poor, and
thats not a recipe for success.
Some rural voters will remember that Glen Clark made his first
visit to Prince George only after he became premier. He spoke about
how pleased he was to finally visit the north, apparently unaware
that he had only reached the middle of the province, with the north
still to come.
Carole James worked hard for seven years as leader to make the
NDP reach out beyond its traditional power base. She was rewarded
in 2005 with seats regained in the North Coast, Kootenays and
Cariboo as well as traditional areas of strength.
It wont be easy for an urban-dominated NDP to retain these
far-flung constituencies, much less add to their current seats and
form a majority government.
The B.C. Liberals have gone a long way to holding their
rural-urban coalition together.

Press and BCLocalnews.com. [email protected]
According to Earthquakes Canada, in the last month, between Dec.
29 and Jan.28, southwest British Columbia had 79 earthquakes. Six
of those occurred within regions measured from Langley, Abbotsford
and Chilliwack.
OK, so you didnt feel any of them. Most of those little tremours
were less than a magnitude of 3.0. But while they may be out of
sight and out of mind, the constant jiggling of B.C.s natural
ground forces is good reason to get ready for when the shiver
becomes a serious grinder. And that fact was the whole point of the
Shake Out practice last week.
British Columbia clearly leads the way in having the most and
the biggest earthquakes in the nation. According to Natural
Resources Canada, about 5,000 earthquakes are recorded in Canada
each year and of the top 10 earthquakes nationally, six have
happened in this province.
The mother of them all was a magnitude 9.0 quake on
Jan. 26, 1700 in the Cascadia subduction zone.
According to research, 13 great earthquakes have occurred in the
region in the last 6,000 years, about one in every 400 or so years.
Statistically, we are over 300 years into the potential for the
next great quake. In the last 130 years, we have had four magnitude
7+ earthquakes between southwestern B.C. and northern
Washington.
To be self-sufficient and ready to go it alone for at least 72
hours after the earthquake hits means having a plan for everyone in
the family, a grab-ready emergency kit at home, at work and in the
car, a back-up plan and an out-of-town (or out of province) contact
number of a relative or friend who everyone can relay messages to
in the event communications are down.
Most people, though, are far from earthquake ready in a province
where a major earthquake could strike 50 years from now. Or
tomorrow.

Culture explored through foodEditor: The StandardThe Fraser
Cascade
area is celebrating the diversity that exists in our rural
communities through art and food!
The Food Event will celebrate food - its range and its culture
this Saturday, Feb. 19.
The theme of the event is to celebrate food as an art form while
celebrating the diversity of cultures it presents. Food can say a
lot about a persons background and culture how it was prepared and
the
ingredients alone can indicate whether or not it was a staple of
their diet, or created only for special occasions.
The event is designed as a tasting event. The idea is to get
people mingling over food. They will walk to one table, try a bit
and ask them about it. It is remarkable how much a dish from your
past can tell about you, as a person, and about your culture.
The Food Event will be held at the SOCIA building in Hope
(895
3rd Ave) and will run from 2:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. It is open to
anyone in the public, as well as businesses, to celebrate food and
culture. You dont have to prepare a dish to participate you can
just show up. If you can pre-register and let me know what you plan
to bring, that would be a bonus.
The recipes, and the stories behind them, will be published in a
recipe book or compilation that will be made available to
the public. The food you prepare can be anything something that
means something to you, or was a favourite family dish that your
grandmother made. Really, it can be anything.
The Food Event is the second of a series of three events that
celebrate Rural Diversity through art and food. The series of
events is organized by Trails Crossing Friendship Centre and funded
through the BC Spirit Festival. The
art forum is the first of these events. Our goal is to encourage
artists, businesses, groups and people to come out and network with
one another, to show their art form, and to mingle with the
community.
For more information, or to register, call me at 604 869 2279 or
email [email protected].

Middle class cannot sustain BC Liberal tax policyEditor: Black
PressThe rhetoric is
abundant these days about how to achieve economic growth and
prosperity in the best place on Earth.
There are two schools of thought in B.C. when it comes to fair
tax policy.
The Liberals are of the firm belief that the lower the corporate
tax rate the better off we will be and the New Democrats want a
more balanced approach.
Here are some numbers out of the
governments own public accounts:
In 2001 when the Liberals came to power, corporate taxes,
including royalties of various kinds, totalled about 22 per cent of
government revenues.
Liberal tax policy has dropped that down to 10 per cent
today.
In real dollars thats about $1 billion less per year. Thats a
drop of about 20 per cent. By comparison, we lowly taxpayers are
now forking out about $8 billion. An increase
of about 60 per cent since 2001.
The HST is another $1.9 billion whack in the pants.
All these various shifts in the tax burden will have an effect
on our property tax bills as the province looks at downloading
opportunities to make up for ever shrinking revenues. Right now the
year-over-year increases average about 1.7 per cent. The fly in the
ointment now is the B.C. Chamber of Commerce proposal
that a review of municipal business taxes take place.
This could mean a transfer or shift of up to 24 per cent onto
residential property taxpayers.
What benefit could there be in supporting a drop in the
disposable income of their customers? Maybe Walt Cobb can answer
that one for us.
Perhaps the Liberals can also explain why B.C. is now the leader
in job losses in the country.
Why is the minimum wage the same its been for the last 10 years?
Why are real wages decreasing?
The middle-class taxpayers who pay the bulk of the provincial
income tax cannot sustain government entirely on their own.
We must develop a fair and equitable taxation system that
benefits all British Columbians and not just a select few.

Museum manager Inge Wilson rekindles the excitement of the 2010
at the Hope library, Saturday, Feb. 12.
Sharing the stories 2010By Inge WilsonSpecial Contributor
To mark the one year anniversary of the opening ceremonies of
the 2010 Games, the Hope Museum presented a display of 2010 Winter
Olympic & Paralympic Games memorabilia at the Hope Library,
including items from the historic Torch Relay events that took
place in Hope on February 7th and March 9th, 2010.
The display included free 2010 Games stickers, placemats, pins
and colouring sheets to take home and a free prize draw for 2010
Games souvenirs.
The museum staff also invited everyone to share their memories
and stories by reliving the excitement of the 2010 Games ...whether
they were experienced here in Hope or at the games venues of
Vancouver and Whistler.
Here are some of the stories that were shared...
From a Sunshine Valley resident who connected with Olympic
athletes training at Manning Park Resort: It was a great time to
host the Karakhstan (Russian) mogul ski team. What great young
people. Though they never won, you would not know it for they loved
Canada
From a young mother: A lot of us had a great time at The Blue
Moose watching the Womens Hockey and Mens Final Hockey Game
From a participant in the Feb 7th Olympic Torch Relay
Celebration in Hope: It was such a great experience to be part of
such a large and exuberant crowd of Hope neighbours and visitors.
Go Canada Go!!!
From a staff member of the Hope Visitor Centre: Throughout
February 2010 I met German TV staff and other international media
representatives plus many RCMP and Canadian military members at the
Hope
Visitor Centre that had been flown in from Eastern Canada to
supplement the 2010 Games Security forces. All of these individuals
were working long shifts with very few free days to pursue personal
interests so it was very exciting to learn that they were using
their valuable time to journey to Hope. Interestingly, all of them
indicated that they chose to come here in order to see where the
Rambo film First Blood was made!
From a long time Hope resident: It was so exciting. My husband
...an avid skier and sportsman... made himself gold, silver and
bronze medals from paper and decorated our living room window.
He was so happy ...(to) celebrate the Olympic Games in Canada!
If you were unable to attend the event at the Hope Library but
still wish to contribute your special memory or story to the
records of the Hope Museum please e-mail them to
[email protected] or FAX to 604-869-2160 or mail to P.O.
Box 26, Hope, BC, V0X 1L0. Any 2010 Games memorabilia you wish to
donate will also be gladly accepted by The Hope Museum at 919 Water
Avenue. Call 604-869-7322 to arrange for the donation.

The Crew band leader Adriaan Abeling, lead guitarist Greg
Bradbury, and Davis Manning on sax, (l-r) are the core of the Crew.
See them Saturday at the Station House. SUBMITTED
And the music lives on...By Mike McLoughlinSpecial
Contributor
If you havent heard already, Skinnys Grille is closed for good.
But theyre not out.
More than any other business in a quarter-century in Hope, they
continuously promoted the live music scene both in and out of their
establishment. Marlene ran the restaurant while Adriaan Abeling was
the heart and soul of the music. The forum is gone, the stage
dismantled, but in the authentic spirit of the blues neither of
them have given up.
A decade ago a bunch of friends, different musicians with
different angles met, and with Abeling applying the glue, created
the Skinnys Blues Crew. The chief function of The Crew was to back
up the various visiting artists, of which there were literally
hundreds.
Abeling was quick to note that Hope could rarely afford a big
name band like the Powder Blues. However they could afford to get
the heart and soul, Willie MacCaulder, if Skinnys provided the
backup band. In other words Abeling made it easy for them to
perform in Hope. The formula worked synergistically
for mutual benefit artistically. Who can forget The Madison
Blues Band, Harp Dog Brown and others like Tim Williams, Rachel
Paige, Jarrod Brothers, Robert Campbell, slide-blue-guitarist Rock
Moran, and the Lava Lights? At Skinnys peak the core of far-away
bands like Manitoba Hal (from Nova Scotia), Fire Tree (Boundary
Bay, Queensland, Australia) would solicit play dates with The Crew.
At the other end of the spectrum were the locals performing there
every year since 2000.
On how he got started... as a child Abeling had to listen to his
parents choice of
Heintje, a Dutch pop-folk singer, whom he could not stand. Then
there was the unforgettable street corner pipe-organ music, on
wheels no less, and run on a hand crank. He didnt like it then, but
its grown on him since. The school band program brought Gershwin,
Hammerstein, 60s progressive pop. That led to jazz band as a
drummer. In those days as a student Abeling started on a wooden
drum with rubber pads. After a year he graduated to real drums.
Some songs you can expect to hear Saturday include Sweet Home
Chicago, Wonderful Tonight, Shall be
released, Me and Bobby Magee all done their own way along with
some of their originals. Their own way means you cannot stray too
far away from the original song though. It must remain familiar. It
should retain either the motif or the tag line to center on and
then add the fluff to make it your own. That in itself is an art
form years in the making.
You will also hear an 1858 piece called She Caught the Katy left
me a mule to ride. The katy was the train for ore cars, the mules
were used for the side bars.
Abeling relates Blues is the root of all the great music here in
North America and under examination a full circle emerges. Charlie
Pride, the first African American country artist, was influenced by
Hank Williams, a bigger country star, who in turn was influenced by
a black gentleman in Mississippi playing the blues. Blues, along
with gospel music, is the basis for country, big band, jazz and
modern rock and roll.
The Crew plays the Hope Station House this Saturday night.
Dinner tickets available at the Station House, or Backstage Pass
Emporium.

Development Opportunity
SportsHuman history of Brigades revealed
Hikers along the HBC trail look towards Mount Hatfield above the
Upper Sowaqua Valley.
SUBMITTED
Archaeologist Jeff Martyn will be presenting a slide show
summarizing his research into the human history of the Hudsons Bay
Company (1849) Heritage Trail, at the Blue Moose Coffee House on
Thursday, Feb. 24, at 7:00 p.m.
Popularly known as the Brigade Trail, it inspired the building
of Fort Hope in 1848, and served as the HBCs transport route over
the Cascade Mountains from 1849 to 1860.
Martyn hiked the entire trail distance while completing his
archaeological field research during the summer of 2010.
Martyns research explores the trails fur trade history, but also
takes a much deeper
look into the trails use by First Nations. The HBC Trail falls
within the traditional territories of three First Nations; the
St:lo, Nlakapamux, and Upper Similkameen.
The trail and surrounding area attracted aboriginal people for
thousands of years, providing them with resources not available in
valley bottoms and low-lying areas, says Martyn.
And while the trail was certainly used by First Nations for
practical reasons such as food gathering and trade, Martyn observes
that the beauty and ruggedness of this area inspires a sense of awe
in people today.
Brigade traveler diaries frequently
describe walking the trail as, fearful hard work and suggest
that any other route could not be worse than the traverse over
Mansons Ridge... While climbing the steep grade along the trail may
be tough, the reward of following blazed trees dating to a time
before the formation of the Colony of British
Columbia and following the path of hundreds upon hundreds of
people is more than enough reward for a bit of sweat!
Kelly Pearce of Hope Mountain Centre will also be on hand to
present an overview of the trail work that has been completed over
the past two years.
