  all the views we care to share

  ... attention must be paid* 

Shift Happened

 

Kimberley's future looked different on the morning of Monday, October 16. The Columbia Basin Trust produced a symposium they called SHIFT: Thriving in Change. The focus was on what the people of the Canadian Columbia Basin can do to thrive as our demography, technology and climate change. The answer is: a lot.

 

Astronaut Chris Hadfield set the context and issued a challenge that set the tone for what followed: presentations that provided useful, actionable information we can use to set our course for the future of the Basin.

 

We asked Mayor Don McCormick to give us his take on what happened over the 3 days of the symposium and what the effect on Kimberley was ... and might be.
