Dear Editor:

I think it appropriate to commend the many staff of the District of Invermere (DOI) for all the little (and big) things they do everyday to really put the polish on our little town.

In wandering about on the Canada Day long weekend, I couldn’t help but feel a sense of pride to call this valley home. Cheers to the staff who caretake the flowers and lawns and sidewalks, pick up trash and all the other things we, as residents, often take for granted.

A double cheers to the DOI lady employee stuck with the seemingly awful job of emptying the doggie-waste stations so perfectly placed around town (on a 25 degree day no less…), and another hearty cheers to the two DOI gentlemen ditch digging in Pothole Park who took the time to escort my dog and I (with shovels and shouts!) by the aggressive female deer protecting her young. Your daily actions are noticed and appreciated! Keep up the great work!

Cheers,

Kimberley Rae Sanderson
