Bylaws and laws are in place to protect us from excesses and idiots. Some of the bylaws that are in place in the CSRD seem a bit too much ‘big-brother’, at least to me, but likely there was a relatively large issue at the time that indicated there should be some control over that particular problem. It seems to be much easier to get a bylaw or law in place than to remove it, something about government creep. Anyway, bylaws…
Yes, there is the potential of flooding of the lake this year. Between a very late spring and significant rainfall, it might be very high water.

Come out and get the news.
Saturday March 26, 2pm – Celista Hall It’s been a couple of years since we all got together and I’m really looking forward to this. I have some speakers coming to discuss things of relevance to the North Shuswap and there will be time for an AMA with me (Ask Me Anything). Right now, the provincial Covid Rules state that No limits to capacity (I wish that were a concern) No masks required – but you’re certainly welcome to wear…
