From Cinéma Québec
Film - Deux Femmes en Or / Two Women in Gold
Violette and Florence no longer understand what’s happening to them. Respectively on maternity leave and on sick leave, one is on edge, the other feels nothing. The neighbours both feel like failures: despite their careers and families, they’re not happy. Florence’s first infidelity is a revelation. What if happiness meant rebelling against our rigid performance society? In a context where having fun is far down on the list of priorities, sleeping with a delivery boy could be downright revolutionary. For Violette and Florence, it’s the breath of fresh air they’ve been hoping for.

From the City of Nelson Police Board
Feedback Wanted - Seeking your feedback: New Service and Policy Complaint Process - The Nelson Police Board is currently refining our new Policy on Service and Policy Complaints and we recognize that this policy only works if it is transparent, accessible, and trusted by the community it serves.
While we are eager for your input, it is important to note that certain core elements of this policy, such as specific reporting timelines, oversight requirements and Board options, are mandated by the Police Act. While they provide the legal framework we must follow, they also serve as the foundation for the more flexible, community-facing aspects of the policy.
We are looking for candid feedback on the "human" side of this policy. Specifically:
Accessibility: Is the language clear? Are the methods for submitting a complaint inclusive and easy to find? Barriers: Are there any perceived hurdles in the draft that might discourage someone from coming forward?
We kindly ask for all feedback by April 15, 2026 to ensure it can be integrated into the final revision. Feedback can be sent to: PoliceBoardFeedback@nelsonpolice.ca

Happy New Year!
It's been a challenging start to ski season with warm temperatures, wind storms, and heavy rain in December. Many opening dates were delayed, but the good news is that trails are opening as January brings some wintery weather. Check on the conditions pages for grooming and closure updates.

SNOWSHOE & HIKING TRAILS

Check out the new Snowshoeing the West Kootenay Guide for snowshoeing recommendations.

Maya Ida and Shota are organizing this fundraiser on behalf of Carla Hutchinson
Help Carla walk, hike and thrive again
Shota and Maya here. We’re reaching out to share an update on our mom, Carla Hutchinson, and to ask for some support for our parents during a really challenging time for our family.
As many of you know, our mom was recently diagnosed with a very rare cancerous tumor in her foot. This required her to have a below-knee amputation of her right leg on December 11th in Vancouver.
Although the surgery went well, it’s been a big adjustment for her. For the foreseeable future, our mom won’t be able to keep up with her practice at Crystal Creek Physiotherapy. It’s been especially tough because she genuinely loves her work and is so dedicated to her patients.
Since she isn’t able to work right now, our parents' income has taken a major hit just as the expenses are starting to add up—including medical travel, rehab, and the prosthetics she’ll need down the road. To get our mom back to the life she loves—including her passion for hiking and cross-country skiing—she will require an advanced prosthetic leg which costs between $15,000–$20,000. This does not include the cost of the specialized rehab she will require or the fact that these prosthetics need to be replaced every 3–5 years for the rest of her life.

Sydney Black is organizing this fundraiser on behalf of Robyn Lamb and Andrew Purtill
Help Robyn & Andrew Through Andrew’s Cancer Battle
"Our amazing friends Robyn Lamb and Andrew Purtill are going through something no one ever expects to face. Andrew has been diagnosed with a rare and aggressive sinonasal cancer, and next week he’ll be heading to Vancouver for major surgery to remove the tumour. The surgery will mean the loss of one of his eyes, and he’ll need at least three months to recover and adjust to this huge change.
Anyone who knows Robyn and Andy knows how full of love and kindness they are. They’re the kind of people who have always shown up for everyone else, and now they really need us to show up for them.
While Andrew recovers, Robyn won’t be able to work so she can focus on being there to support him through healing, appointments, and their new normal. This GoFundMe is to help them cover rent, bills, groceries, and travel costs while they get through the next few months.
If you’re able to donate, it will make a huge difference in taking some of the financial pressure off so they can focus on what really matters: getting Andy well again. And if you can’t give financially, please share this page or send them some love and encouragement. Every bit of support means so much.
Let’s wrap Robyn and Andy up in the same warmth, community and love that they’ve always shared with everyone else."

Michael Elliott is organizing this fundraiser
From Nelson Men's Group Community Outreach
GoFundMe - Community Outreach for Nelson's Most Vulnerable: As a community of men this winter, we’ve been showing up consistently for people in Nelson who need it most.
Families grieving the loss of fathers to suicide and overdose.
- The homeless population of our streets, living in the cold.
- People who are struggling quietly and often forgotten.
- We’ve brought hot meals and drinks, warm clothing, and simple human presence.
- We’ve shared stew, chili and hot chocolate on cold days.
- We’ve handed out toques, mitts, jackets, dental essentials, socks, underwear, and more.
And every time, something shifts. In them, and in us. The frequency grows, and more men get involved. Right now, we’re raising funds to directly support these outreaches: food, clothing, and essential supplies for people in Nelson who need care, warmth, and connection. We are not a charity or NGO. There are no overhead or admin costs.
100% of donations go directly to helping people.
We are simply a group of local men, Nelson Men’s Group, who have spent years doing deep inner work together. This work has shaped us into men who show up: for our families, for each other, and for our broader community in need.
If you feel moved, we invite you to be part of it.
If you have warm, clean, good gear for this outreach, please bring it to Share Nelson and tell them its specifically for Nelson Men's Group outreach, they'll hold it for us: socks, gloves, toques, underwear, jackets, waterproof pants, clothes, dental hygiene basics, etc.

The Friends of Pulpit Rock Society is organizing this fundraiser
Sproule Creek Bridge Replacement Project
The Sproule Creek Trail, located just outside Nelson, BC, follows a historic route first established in the early 1900s during the mining and logging era. This beautiful valley once featured a wagon road and a narrow-gauge railway built by the A.G. Lambert Lumber Co. between 1919 and 1930. Today, hikers, mountain bikers, horseback riders, snowshoers, and cross-country skiers enjoy this multi-use trail system; walking through a living piece of West Kootenay history.
The Friends of Pulpit Rock Society is proud to hold the contract to maintain the Sproule Creek Trail system. We are now raising funds to complete a critical safety upgrade: replacing three aging trail bridges.

Two little-known Boundary deaths - This is a story of two deaths in the Boundary. All that links them is that both occurred in the first decade of the 20th century and both involved men of Asian descent about whom little is known. In one case we know the exact circumstances of the death but not where the burial occurred. In the other case, we know the place of burial but not the cause of death.

From Interior Health, February 17, 2026
Health & Wellness Resources - Mental health services for youth and adults in the Interior - Heartbreaking tragedies in our communities, province or even those far away from us can bring up a range of emotions: sadness, fear, anger and a sense of helplessness.
These reactions are normal. In times of collective pain, tending to our own well-being is not only important, but necessary.
We encourage anyone to reach out for support, whether for yourself, a colleague, or someone in your life who may be hurting.
Interior Health (IH) and our community partners provide mental health services for youth and adults. Our services are confidential and safe, and free of judgment and stigma.
