Highway 6 crash victim ID'd

Western Pacific Marine has notified passengers that the Osprey 2000 will be out of service from tomorrow, Monday, Oct. 20, to Monday, Nov. 17, for scheduled semi-annual maintenance.

Dozens of drivers in the Kootenays were ticketed in September for distracted driving and seatbelt violations, according to figures from B.C. Highway Patrol.

The seventh annual edition of the family-friendly event will be on from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. today and tomorrow.

FortisBC is urging residents to be prepared for power outages as winter weather approaches.

Twenty-eight animals were removed from a rural property in the Kootenays earlier this month following an animal protection investigation involving concerns of irresponsible breeding and neglect.
