Dave Ellington — Recognition of Long Service

In recognition of Dave Ellington’s 26 years of employment with the City of Enderby, Mayor Dale read a chronicle highlighting the more memorable moments of his service to the City.

A special work of art, hand painted onto a City of Enderby hand saw, was presented by Alf Soros and Mayor Dale.

Bob Gallagher, Superintendent

B. C. Health Services Commission

B. C. Ambulance Regions 3 & 4

Mr. Gallagher, along with Unit Chief Louise Eikinger were in attendance to discuss the ambulance service for the Enderby area. There is a posting for a full-time Unit Chief (replacing the part-time position currently held by Louise Eikinger). The position is expected to be filled within 4 — 5 months time.

P1(Paramedic) training is available to all staff. This training is a CMA accredited course, and is the new standard in the industry.

Enderby has not been greatly impacted by recent restructuring. Monitoring of recent service indicates that there has been no negative impact on service delivery.

Opportunities for training and pre-employment training, as well as opportunities for personnel trained in other jurisdictions will challenge B. C.’s requirements.

Discussion occurred as follows:

The new Unit Chief will have EMA 2 level training. P1 is the base level that all staff must have.

The ambulances in service have been equipped with defibrulators for many years now.

Mayor Dale acknowledged the apprehension that the community has had over the recent changes in health care. The City of Enderby has been working to provide support both financially and otherwise to the Ambulance Service. He stressed the importance of this support to increase the comfort level of our citizens. Once again having a full time Unit Chief in Enderby is a positive development. Appreciation to Louise for performing the position on a part time basis was expressed.

Mayor Dale

Mayor Dale commented on how well organized the Lion’s bar-b-que was this year.

The ball tournament with the Spallumcheen Band was a fun event.

A reminder was extended to Council for the Chamber of Commerce breakfast meeting being held 7:00 am Wed. July 3 at Fortunes.

Councilor Wejr commended the organizers of this year’s Funtastic Event. David Adams was also acknowledged for an excellent job of organizing the Canada Day Parade.

Councilor McCune brought up for discussion the possibility of replacing garbage bins in the downtown core with a regular pick-up and removal of refuse. Superintendent Soros will investigate and report back what merchants are currently paying for their bin service to determine if this proposal is cost effective.

Councilor Case

There was an excellent turn-out for the Canada Day Celebrations and the fireworks display was once again impressive. It was suggested that perhaps the city should make an effort to obtain a supply of Canadian flags to adorn the streets next year. The Federal Government may be able to supply these flags.

Congratulations were extended to Councilor Case for the Lions bar-b-que dinner which was a great success.

It was great to see the campground full over the holiday weekend.
