The
wheelchair access ramp removed from post office over last few days –
presumably part of the Federal infrastructure spending spree |
|
Spring cometh—and
alder releasing pollen already |
|
|
Signs of the
time? |
|
I
liked the image of this fellow (white arrow) having to change the greeting
sign with a very long extension pole – one letter at a time |

More about
Monday’s School closure forum |
|
The
presentation material is now online at SD 52 Consultations site – from whence I got
the spiffy logo left etc – see bottom of their page for PDF As I said last time some of the ‘slides’ are quite complex and should be read online – always remembering comments close Thursday Inputs by email accepted till 18

And why are
we keeping PRSS open? |
|
This
is the place that has to be pumped out whenever either a heavy rain comes or
the tides high – site reputedly sits on a previous dump/ land fill – thus
vulnerable to changes in the water table |
|
|
Previously I
suggested Seismic risk might be significant factor |
|
Left
is one of the several source documents I came across --- and though Seismic
Risk may not be totally ignored – Rupert ranking (3) is not nearly as high as
on Charlottes or even Vancouver etc The
largest earthquake in Canada was August 22nd 1949 along the QC
fault at 8.1 – would be interesting to hear from ‘old timers’ what happened
in PR that date etc |

Closing
Roosevelt |
|
From
catchments perspective looks like gerrymandering to keep Westview open |
|
|
Closing
Westview |
|
Councillor Anna Ashley
was at the closure forum (as was Garon) – Anna asked about the policy of
trans-boundary movements – would have to re-apply yearly etc Agreed that policy
would have to be redone after closures |
|
|
Conrad and
who attends |
|
This
too is from a map on the walls of the Forum Discussion – I have used the
present Roosevelt school students --- as different coloured dots – and looks
like on order of 15 students presently transfer out of the catchment area to
attend French Immersion – thus if latter taught at Roosevelt instead of
Westview may not have as much vehicular traffic as parent drive student to
school etc |
