Calling all volunteers!!!!! Block Watch is a resident-led initiative to protect our community from crime. It is a robust program that educates residents to harden properties against opportunistic crime, such as theft. This program has proven very affective in the past, particularly in the off season when many residences are vacant. The program was temporarily paused and is being reinvigorated. We are currently seeking volunteers. Send us a message through our contact page to inquire about volunteering.

We all want to do the right thing by recycling. However, when not done properly it can do more harm than good. The Regional District of Kootenay Boundary manages the recycling programs at Big White and has some great instructional resources. Take a minute to learn which materials are included in the recycling program and which are not, as well as how to participate in the Return-It Express & Go program at the following links:
