Absolute end of the holidays Scouts collecting Christmas trees for disposal, Saturday, Jan. 9 TRE VOR CR AWLEY
Though the holiday season may be over, some of those halls may still be decked with holly and living rooms may still feature a decorated Christmas tree. The Cranbrook
Scouts are hoping to help those who have been procrastinating with the takedown of their trees with their annual Christmas Tree collection on Saturday, Jan, 9.

Winter weather back to normal Compared to last year, snowfall this winter is closer to average TRE VOR CR AWLEY
Though it may seem like a snowier winter than last year, a meteorologist with Environment Canada says that things are returning to average after a milder winter last year. Environment Canada issued a snowfall warning for the East Kootenay on Thursday and forecasted between
10 to 15 centimetres of the white stuff. “Last January and February were really mild and it has been colder this year in the latter part of November and December to early January, but it’s kind of been up and down since the beginning of November,” said meteorologist Doug Lindquist.
