Lest we forget the responsibilities that go hand in hand with freedoms. Today we honour & remember the courage & sacrifice of guardians unknown for the freedoms we all too often take for granted. Lest we forget. #Repost @sabcurtis ... #freedom . Today is a day, moreso than others, where we should remember that despite lockdowns and distancing we still live so free. We should respect the people and processes which enabled these freedoms and not forget that with such freedoms, comes #responsibility . FREEDOM to roam near wherever we please, pedal further and push higher until we find the perfect place to pitch our tent RESPONSIBILITY to #treadlightly , appreciate whose ground we’re truly treading on, and #leavenotrace so that those who tread behind us can experience the same #naturalbeauty . FREEDOM to use our voice, have it be heard and have it count, to be a part of movements that can truly #makechange RESPONSIBILITY to make our voice matter and where needed, be a voice for those who aren’t or can’t be heard . FREEDOM as a woman to pee in the same woods, bag the same peaks, and wear the same pants RESPONSIBILITY to #empower and support each other and build the same confidence in the generation behind us so they can continue to build #equality into those remaining stubborn corners. . FREEDOM regardless of race, religion, or identity preferences, to walk proudly among the masses and celebrate who you are RESPONSIBILITY to learn about and understand those that came before us, those who are unlike ourselves, and realize that only through #diversity do we see the most vivid picture of the world . #lestweforget #everyvotecounts #bethechange . #bikepacking #bikepackher #reinventionmode See more

The Kicking Horse Gymnastics Club NEEDS your support!! In order for the club to operate in compliance with the safety requirements outlined by the Province (BC Health, ViaSport BC, Gymnastics BC), they have had to significantly reduce the number of athletes they can accommodate. Fewer athletes means less money to go towards operating costs. Let's all do our part to help keep @kickinghorsegymnasticsclub in our community!! CouponCards are available to purchase at the shop. All ...proceeds will go directly to the club. 1 card for $30 2 cards for $50 3 cards for $60 Valid until August 31, 2021 Huge thanks to all the businesses that made this CouponCard possible!! @jenaleephotographs @doubleblack_bc @goldenbakery_deli @thegoldendollarstore @riverhouse.tavern @turningpointgoldenbc @thewolfsdenrestaurant @reflections_hair_studio @bonafidegolden @reposados_tacos_golden @elitenutritiongolden @theislandrestaurant @bacchus_books @purcellcoffee @bluebirdcafegolden @bearandboneburgerco @threadtheneedle.co

FULL BC PARKS SYSTEM CLOSURE #StayHome #ExploreBCLater #Repost @yourbcparks BC Parks Response to COVID 19... Full BC Parks System Closure BC Parks is immediately closing the entire BC Parks system, including all parks, protected areas, conservancies, recreation areas, and ecological reserves. All camping (front and backcountry) is now banned until May 31st, 2020. This action is being taken in response to the call for increased action to address the COVID-19 pandemic. With the desire of the public to get outdoors, many parks have already experienced peak season levels of use that have resulted in overwhelmed parking lots, trails and trailheads, making physical distancing difficult, if not impossible in some locations. It has also resulted in damage to our facilities and the environment. This closure is also necessary to ensure the continued health and safety of our visitors, employees, park operators and their staff, volunteers, and park contractors. By taking this action, we align with federal and provincial directives for people to stay home to reduce COVID-19 transmission risk. This temporary measure means public and vehicle access is prohibited until further notice. All trails, roads, day-use areas, beaches, lakes, boat launches, and backcountry areas are closed to the public. Park closures will be enforced through regular monitoring and patrols and anyone found in a closed park will be evicted and could face a $115 fine. In addition to the full system closure, the campground closure has been extended to May 31st, 2020. Full refunds will continue to be automatically provided to those with existing reservations during this time. Please do not initiate a request for refund. The Discover Camping reservation system has been suspended for all new reservations. A public notice will be issued once facilities are reopened and the system is able to accept new reservations. BC Parks continues to monitor the COVID-19 pandemic closely and is following the recommendations set out by the Provincial Health Officer and the Minister of Health for decisions related to closure and reopening of parks and facilities. Please continue to check the BC Parks website for up

Our businesses thrive on social interaction, but we have sacrificed the opportunity for cash flow in support of the common good & to maintain the health & wellness of our community. We have faith we will get through this, but faith does not pay our bills or put food on the table.

This email from RCR would suggest the Banked Slalom will either be cancelled or postponed. Just waiting on confirmation from KHMR management. Please stand by. Email from RCR.. After careful consideration of the quickly changing circumstances around Coronavirus (COVID-19), Resorts of the Canadian Rockies has chosen to suspend ski resort operations effective at midnight, Sunday March 15th, for a one-week period. This suspension will be in effect at all of our Western Canadian ...Resorts, including Nakiska Ski Area, Fernie Alpine Resort, Kimberley Alpine Resort and Kicking Horse Mountain Resort. Here at RCR our number one priority is the safety, health and well-being of our Guests, Team Members, and the Communities which we live, work and play in. As tough a decision as this has been, we feel it is the right thing to do under the current circumstance. We sincerely apologize to you, our guests for this inconvenience. As always, we truly appreciate the support which we receive from you and thank you for that. We will evaluate a possible re-opening date for our resorts later in the week, and will look forward to welcoming you back to our resorts as things permit. Thank You, John Shea President/Chief Resorts Officer See more
