Welcome to the Megaphone. This is your place to post the news that matters to you. If someone's getting married or getting born, this is the place to let your community know. If you want to thank someone for a good turn or lambaste the noisy, nosy, or woefully ignorant, do it here. Basically, anything you think your community need to know about: use the megaphone and make yourself heard.

Thanks again, and I just have to emphasize how amazingly lucky we...

Rossland Trail Bear Aware would like to give a big thanks to our supporters this year. Thank you to Columbia Basin Trust, the cities of Trail & Rossland, BC Conservation Foundation and Nelson and District Credit Union.

Please come to City Hall tonight and support the vote at Rossland Council to implement a by-law limiting the use of cosmetic pesticides. This is our last chance to get the by-law in before a change in Council. It will also support efforts to get a BC-wide law - which would have greater power.
Support a pesticide-free Rossland!
