Join us for our SLOCAN RIVER FLOAT as we cool off from the summer heat!
On August 24th, CCSS is floating down the Slocan River again! This is another great opportunity to connect, relax, and have some fun in the summer sun. You can float down this part of the Slocan River however you please – inner tube, dinghy, air mattress, life jacket and flippers, canoe or kayak!
Please join us – and we look forward to seeing you on August 24th! See attached poster.

Our Health and Safety Coordinator (Teresa Delorie) let me know of some news that she heard on her local radio station this morning regarding fire season and I thought I’d pass along the info and links.
This link is to the news broadcast which suggests that Nelson, B.C. is one of the highest ‘at risk’ cities in BC for wildfire this year

This link is to the Nelson website that provides for an easy sign-up to receive emergency alerts in the Nelson area.

Please feel free to pass along to all staff and HSPs in that area or who may be affected.
