  • Engravers work on plastic, metal and wood.
  • Items worth engraving include bicycles, electronic equipment and tools
  • Photograph items you can’t mark such as jewellery, art and delicate glass.
  • Engrave property with your driver's license number.
  • Make sure to put BCDL in front so if it is recovered out of province it can be returned.
  • Make an inventory list of valuable items and engraved property items around your home and keep it in a safe place.
Once you have marked the property put decals on your front and rear doors or windows alerting would be criminals that your property is marked for identification.

There is a higher likelihood that the property stolen will be returned to its rightful owner.

Engraving - provides evidence of guilt and enables police to detain a suspect who is found in possession of property engraved with someone else's driver's license number.

Engraving may serve as a deterrent, as criminals are less likely to steal marked property.

The thief cannot reclaim the property if it is seized by the police. .

If you are interested in property marking any of your household items contact me and I will supply you with an engraver to borrow.

Continue to be good neighbors in your communities and report all suspicious incidents

Eyes and Ears for the RCMP,

Kind regards,
 
Roy Morgan

Ashton Creek Hand Launch  by Jessica Washtock

Picture
The Lower Shuswap Stewardship Society (LSSS) partnered up with the Riverside Hall and the Department of Fisheries and Oceans to upgrade the hand launch site and recreational area at the hall. There had
been talks of upgrading the hand launch site for quite sometime and DFO had visited the site last summer to plan the work. The unique challenges that were faced with the site included, a small area, heavily used for two months of the year, whether to
make it fish habitat or people friendly, the relatively short work window and of
course the bottom line! The first thing to get out of the way was “what do we want
here?” This question got passed back and forth and it was finally decided that the
hall is a place of people gathering and creating an area where children are safe and
paddlers could easily access the river in both high and low water became the most
important objectives for the site.
This was the first time DFO Restoration Biologist Sarah Ostoforoff worked on a
recreational site and Biologist Sean Bennett had only worked on a handful of
recreational sites. These sites differ from fish habitat sites in many ways. The next
question to get out of the way was when can this project start? And Sarah and Sean
penciled the hall in for the next week. This was a bit of a scramble to say the least!
But with the help of Baird Bros, Lee and Sam Polson and Victor Brandt we had all
the rock and logs there by the time DFO showed up! A huge thank you goes out to
Lee, Sam and Victor. They went way beyond and really showed up for the
community! With input from Bruce Fowler, Bruce Hedden, Shelly Verlaan, along
with both biologists the rock wall was taking shape. RJ Baird operated the
excavator and immaculately placed rocks making sure to not stir up the river at all.
After a day and a half all the heavy lifting work was out of the way...but there’s
still a lot of work to be done! The site now features a path with a gradual decline
into the river, a rock wall, and a beach that will fill in more.
