Last week Kootenay River Secondary School and the Creston community in general were treated to an amazing three nights of The Addams Family Feud. This unique adaptation , written by Jason Smith, directed by Brooke Douma, and brought to life by the students of KRSS was a wonderful treat for those fortunate enough to get their hands on a ticket as all three shows were sold out.

November 8th is a day marked to honour the contributions of Indigenous Peoples to the Canadian Military.

"Did you know that First Nations served in the Canadian Military at a higher rate than any other group in this great nation? More than 4,000 Indigenous people served Canada in the First World War. In fact, First Nations, Inuit and Métis people served Canada in all the great conflicts and peace support missions of the 20th century."
