DON QUIXOTE VS. CITY HALL When an American gets mad, he says "where's my Gun". When a Canadian gets pissed off he says "Where is my pen, I'm going to send a letter to the EDITOR". When the EDITOR won't publish his letter he sets up his own BLOG page. When I received enough support to get a Council Seat the dogma of the establishment became : "Better to have him inside the tent pissing out, than outside pissing in." (Only time will tell !)

Village declines air quality function participation
Acton questions the need for a function, saying that it’s quite clear that road dust is the primary cause of pollution. “When we hear of a great solution for that, we will take action,” he said.
Vernon officials insist there is a need to tackle air pollution on a regional basis. “Air quality services provided by the regional district prior to the elimination of the air quality function included education addressing anti-idling, open burning, dust control, emissions management and wood stove efficiency,” said Brooke Marshall, the city’s environmental planner, in a written memo. “An orchard wood waste chipping program was initiated and bylaw harmonization, as well as data collection and analysis in collaboration with the Ministry of Environment and Interior Health.” NORD is waiting to hear from other member jurisdictions on an air quality function.
