Embrace the cozy vibes and winterize your home! 
Prepare your sanctuary for the chilly season with these essential tips to keep it warm, safe, and stylish:
Check your heating system: Schedule a professional inspection to ensure your furnace or heat pump is functioning optimally. Replace filters regularly to maintain clean and efficient heat flow.
Inspect doors and windows: Seal any gaps or cracks with weatherstripping to prevent drafts and heat loss. Don't forget to use draft stoppers at the bottom of doors to keep the cold air out!
Reverse ceiling fans: Switch your fan's direction to clockwise to redistribute warm air trapped near the ceiling, enhancing overall heating efficiency.
Protect pipes from freezing: Insulate exposed pipes and disconnect outdoor hoses to prevent frozen pipes and costly repairs. Let faucets drip in extremely cold weather to release pressure.
Clean gutters and downspouts: Remove leaves and debris to prevent ice dams and water backup. Ensure proper drainage to avoid potential water damage to your home.
Store outdoor furniture and garden tools: Safely stow away patio furniture, grills, and gardening equipment in a dry and secure place to preserve their longevity.
Stock up on winter essentials: Keep your home cozy by stocking up on blankets, extra bedding, and cold-weather accessories, like thick curtains or thermal drapes, to keep the heat in.
Winterize your home, stay warm, and make your winter season a delightful one!

Multi-million dollar infrastructure investment at Big White Ski Resort
JP Squire is back from vacation and we are happy to feature his" Making Tracks" highlights.
This is the Second in a multi-part series on what is new and different at the 12 downhill ski resorts and cross-country ski areas in
BIG WHITE
Big White Ski Resort was a hive of activity during the off-season, both for infrastructure and for private developments. A construction crew used a drill rig to place ground anchors in preparation for the foundation and parkade of a new 60-unit building called The View, above.
"This year, we've taken significant strides to address new resort upgrades and areas that need further development,” said senior vice-president Michael J. Ballingall as he prepared for a Nov. 23 season launch. “According to the Kootenay Boundary Regional District, $100 million is being invested around the mountain in vital infrastructure, road upgrades, staff accommodation and private homes and condominium development.”
He added 2023 has seen some of the biggest construction starts in the history of the resort, from “future proofing” infrastructure builds to environmental and safety upgrades.
“We are excited and proud to facilitate private investments in accommodation across the resort. Plans are also in place to add more lifts and more terrain down the road."
