A few months ago as spring morphs into summer, I canvased our beautiful city of Rossland to put up fliers to find out who is intrested on putting an anime convention in Rossland and only one store put a flier up. You see, since Janurary 2010 when Rick Mercer came to Rossland to film a segment, I was thinking on how to make the economy in Rossland flourish during the summer. One day was watching...

Thankfully Rossland has so far been able to maintain a great balance between real town and resortification. Here's a biting sarcastic look at the mountain resort world. Worth a watch, a few pensive thoughts and some laughs for sure.

This is a cut and paste of a comment I found on the Tyee.
It has a lot on interesting information about taxation in BC.
Quote:
How appropriate that the "Vancouver Sun" should today publish a summary of a new report by the CCPA that demonstrates why the BC Liberals were forced to rush out the HST so soon after the 2009 provincial election. The report is entitled "BC's Regressive Tax Shift" and...

I hate to see pets missing their owners, and owners missing their pets. I hope this doggy's humans come and claim her!

Every two weeks, we put out our blue boxes full of recyclable swag to be picked up and be recycled. There are a few of you, like me, who still find some of the swag that the RDKB left behind in our blue box that they deem "not recycleable." It doesn't matter if it is a plastic DVD container or a cardboard box for a Super Soaker; if it has the symbol for being recycled, It should be picked up for...

There is only one person, me, who is doing all the work for doing an anime convention in Rossland and no one is lending a hand to help me out. If people helped me out making this anime convention in Rossland called Rosslanime, we can get tourist dollars.
I have been working on the outline for the past year and few months, which I been editing and adding events, and it is draining my energy.I...

I think it is important to recognize local business excellence. We recently used DynaPro Automotive in Rossland to service our vehicle. We are blown away by the great service! Jeremy definitely exceeded our expectations with his level of organization, care and professionalism. Love the complimentary Visual Vehicle Inspection Report! We will be using them for all our future auto servicing!...

Remember the sidewalk bins that facilitated so much mess downtown last summer?
The Bear Smart committee is recruiting sponsors for a solar powered trash compactor garbage bin or a returnable bin for a 3 month summer trial on Columbia Ave.
A successful trial period provides our city an option to budget for purchase of a year round solution to garbage and returnable’s after the Columbia Ave...
