In mid-January local Great Backyard Bird Count organizers launched a new “doorway” to the GBBC for our participants from Canada. To find it, just go to www.birdcount.ca. It’s going to look pretty familiar to those who have visited the site before, but it also contains some new content specifically for our Canadian bird watchers, contributed by Bird Studies Canada.

The Community Resource Centre in Clearwater is running a very busy Winter Course Calendar this year, with lots of new and interesting courses to choose from. Besides the usual first aid courses and Thompson Rivers University credit courses, there is a Building a Basic Web Page course, a Basic Bike Maintenance and Repair course, and an Avalanche Skill Training, Level 1 course - this last being very appropriate for the current weather situation in the Interior region.
