The “Happy & Well from Yahk-to-Riondel” Happiness Survey was conducted between December 1st and 12th as part of the ongoing Community Directed Funds Initiative exploring how we can take advantage of Columbia Basin Trust’s offering of significant regional funding. A follow on session including a compelling film was held at Crawford Bay School on Wednesday March 11 at 7pm. I hope you were able to hear how AREA A came out on top as the happiest area in our region!
