NEW: BCGov says a deer harvested east of Enderby may have Chronic Wasting Disease. Initial tests on the sample detected prions (abnormal proteins) which may indicate the presence of CWD.
So far, the only test-positive cases of CWD in the province are from the East Kootenay region.

Columbia-Kootenay-Southern Rockies MP Rob Morrison has launched an e-petition seeking federal intervention between BC/AB and health care access issues.
The issue: BC-based patients who live in border communities cannot get care in Alberta, which is much closer than having to go to Kelowna/Vancouver

Always a profound experience to participate in the walk for truth and reconciliation in ʔaq̓am.
The St. Eugene resort itself is a former residential school site that closed in 1970.
It was purchased by the Ktunaxa Nation over 25 years ago & transformed into what it is today.

Grateful for the invite to a prescribed burn in the Bull River area near Cranbrook this afternoon, which was a part of the Kootenay ʔa·kinq̓uku TREX (training exchange).
Really interesting to see the real-time operation of a prescribed burn and watching how that training was put into practice.
