Back in 1982, Juno award winning Canadian band Doug and The Slugs debuted their iconic hit “Making It Work” and I feel like that could be the chorus for 2020 as we have all faced, and adapted to, an ever-changing world around us.
Our East Kootenay Emergency Management Program and emergency response personnel played a very active role throughout 2020, responding to a wide variety of emergencies.
From coordinating the response to the global COVID-19 pandemic, to responding to flooding events, providing support to the BC Wildfire Service and evacuees on the largest fire in B.C. this year (Doctor Creek), and assisting in smaller events such as the recent Cranbrook Hotel fire, our Regional District of East Kootenay (RDEK) teams have been busy this year.
