Tourism in Kimberley had a slow start in 2015, says Tourism Kimberley’s Jesse Ferguson, in a report to City Council, but the summer compensated for it. “We had hard winter last year,” Ferguson said. “There wasn’t much snow but I am happy to say that after the hardships with the winter, the summer season was very strong.”

Kimberley RCMP Cpl. Chris Newel reported Wednesday that Kimberley Detachment members made an arrest last week for possession and accessing child pornography. “On October 19, Kimberley RCMP arrested a 20 year old male for Possession and Accessing Child Pornography,” Newel said. “Information had been forwarded to Kimberley from the BC Integrated Child
Exploitation Unit that the subject had been in possession of child pornography. An investigation was initiated and a search warrant obtained.” The search warrant was executed on October 19 at which time the male was arrested and several computers were seized. The electronic equipment will be examined for further evidence to support charges of Possession of Child Pornography and Accessing Child Pornography. See ARREST, page 3
