To The Editor:
Congratulations to Brittny Anderson on taking her hard-won seat in the Legislature. In your campaign, Brittny you expressed deep concern about BC’s environmental crises. Now in Victoria you will come up against challenges working with your party on these issues.
We have a half-finished Clean BC climate plan. Building LNG, and the fracking...

Dear Community Member,
It has been one year since B.C.’s first joint statement about the novel coronavirus (now termed COVID-19) from Health Minister Adrian Dix and Provincial Health Officer Dr. Bonnie Henry. Since that date, our world has changed dramatically. We have all felt the impacts of the pandemic on our lives, our families, and our communities.
This last year has...

Dear Editor.
We fought global wars, and millions of people died to defend and protect our human rights, including our right to have democratic governments.
Last week’s invasion of the Capital Hill in DC was nothing but a stunning attack on democracy, perpetrated by none other than the President of the United States.
It was the end result of four years of Trump’s insidious...

To The Editor:
Not quite a New Year’s resolution, but being old has allowed me to reflect on how unchanging technology used to be until it changed. Now those changes are happening so frequently that we can be caught thinking we are up to date.
Recognizing your information might be old must be accompanied by a willingness to do something to change that...

Dear Editor:
I am writing to thank the Rossland Telegraph for publishing submissions from the Rossland Public Library.
It is rare to find a newspaper these days that has either the space or the inclination to inform its readers about new and recommended books.
As a B.C. author, I am always pleased to see this type of support for my fellow writers.

To the Editor:
It used to be, and largely still is, considered an act of politeness to let others go first. In the context of climate change and emissions reductions, this might be described as a rationale for inertia. China and India are currently used to support that rationale. Although China tops the emitters list, followed by the USA and then India, both China and India are...

I have some concerns about the recent hype and media coverage from West Kootenay EcoSociety "100% Renewable Energy Plan", that is being brought by the NGO before a number of local municipalities for adoption.
In the next decade the BC NDP Ministry of Forest plans to clear-cut and truck at least 100,000 loads of old growth forest from the...

To The Editor.
Somebody needs to explain just how (BC Premier John) Horgan possibly can justify taking our hard-earned tax dollars and give it to families with annual incomes up to 175,000 dollars, and individuals earning up to 67,500 dollars, insisting they desperately need ‘emergency funding’.
There is no doubt a lot of people who suddenly lost their...

To The Editor:
While 2020 will undoubtedly be remembered by most for the COVID-19 pandemic, a young couple from Castlegar, Brett and Kendra (Wayling) Uniat, will remember it for the birth of their amazing daughter Zoey, born on October 12, Thanksgiving Day.

To The Editor:
How to occupy your time during a shutdown is something with which we are all having to deal.
In this digital age it is so much easier to have access to and indeed create content and have it posted on the internet. As consumers it is important to be able to sort that content in to the good, bad and ugly. With a little effort one can...
