Great...looks like more hell for the Shuswap and CSRD.
Every summer that I've lived in the Rockies has been ruined due to wildfires, either via smoke triggering my asthma and/or stress from near by fires. I hate summer in the Rockies now. #bcpoli #cdnpoli #GoldenBC #ColumbiaValley #FieldBC
Most people in the #ColumbiaValley had to go to Golden to get an ultrasound. Crazy how it took locals to fundraise the money for Invermere's Hospital to finally get one. One would think our tax dollars would pay for that? #bcpoli
