Hugs: Huge hugs to Dr. Louw and Dr. Anderson for such caring attention. All the staff were great and helpful with any questions or concerns. Yes it’s a wait but very worth it when you make it to the end. Thank you so much, Doctors, for all you do for our community and all our surrounding areas that you cover. Again, Huge hugs!

Hugs: A sincere thank you to the Tamarack Clinic Doctors and Staff for the kindness, professionalism, and continuing care you deliver to your patients, and to the greater community of Cranbrook as a whole. Your efforts are truly appreciated and our gratitude is endless. You make Cranbrook a wonderful place to call home.

Hugs: Thank you to Dr. Niemand at the Tamarack Clinic for his professionalism, understanding, and unfaltering guidance. We are happy that you are here sharing your talents and being our family Doctor!

Hugs: I am a senior and as such have mobility issues, thus needing a cane. Last week I went shopping at Top Crop and was barely in the store when this tall dark and handsome young man came over and asked me if I needed help. He assisted me with all my purchases, even going into the back storage room to find me an item. I was overwhelmed at such caring service. Upon paying for items at the till, I shared my experience with the cashier and she told me “that’s our manager”!

Hugs: To the awesome store clerks that go out of their way to help customers. Your job integrity is very appreciated and I hope you are blessed for your goodness.

Slugs: You stole a gargoyle from our garden, from 2 seniors on a budget. One of us is partially handicapped, the other going through cancer treatment. Our backyard is our “happy place “, and you decided your greed and selfishness was more important. We left the back gate unlocked, and you seized the opportunity, shame on you for spying! Bad Karma is coming your way, and more!

Hugs: To the East Kootenay Wildlife Association and the BC Wildlife Federation for and excellent presentation on the sad state of affairs with our wildlife resource in B.C. Funding for Fish and Wildlife in B.C. has dropped from about 5% of our total Budget fifty years ago to less than 1% in this springs budget. For years our wildlife research in B.C. is absolute zero. Our Wildlife is in extreme danger due to a lack and funding.
