“Perceptions,” by Gerry Warner
What a great way to celebrate the hottest day in Cranbrook’s history.
On June 29, with the temperature sitting at a torrid 41 C, almost 30 members of the Cranbrook Baker Hill Heritage Neighbourhood Association gathered in the cooling shade of Rotary Park downtown to hold its 2021 annual general meeting and it was about time according to outgoing association president Greg Eaton.
There were no minutes to read from the previous AGM and no meetings at all since 2018 because the association was basically “dormant,” Eaton admitted. “So, now’s the time to start things going again and maybe even get going on another project.” And before the sweltering meeting was over the association did just that, electing a new president and board of directors in a revival of a group that has kept the flame of heritage appreciation burning in Cranbrook.

“My phone lit up with concerns and questions,” said Coun. Joshua Wall. “I need more time to get feedback from the public.”
Earlier this month, Brian VanTilborg introduced a noise bylaw amendment “aimed at the chronic bad actor who has no respect for their neighbours” that received unanimous support from fellow councillors at a committee meeting. Approval on committee recommendations is made at council meetings.
