SUPPLY CHAIN UPDATE

The highway closures in Southwestern BC, due to extreme flooding, have caused some concern that there may be a disruption to our grocery and fuel supply chain in Nelson.

Nelson Emergency Management reached out to our local grocery stores and gas stations for an update and were told that there should not be a significant compromise in food or fuel deliveries in our region as most of our deliveries come from other parts of BC or Alberta.

All of our local stores have seen an increase in customers and have empty shelves due to panic buying. The greater risk of shortages could occur if people are purchasing more than they need for the next few days.

We encourage residents to shop as you normally would and refrain from stockpiling groceries.

We all need to do our part to help each other manage this situation by not creating shortages in our stores.

UPDATE: The moccasins have been returned to the museum and will be given back to their owner. It was all a misunderstanding.

This wee pair of moccasins has gone missing from the stairs, where they were left for the memorial happening tomorrow at 2:15 at City Hall. They have sentimental value, and we are reaching out to the community to help track them down and return them to their owner.

They went missing sometime around 1 pm this afternoon. If you have them, please return them to the Museum steps - no questions asked.

Please share.
