George Bell and Three Valley Lake Chateau made a national television debut last Wednesday on the Space Channel show, Stranded.
The show features three New Yorkers who tour different hotels that have reputations as haunted locations.
Personally, I’ve never heard of a ghost or poltergeist at at Three Valley, but I guess anything’s possible.

The Revelstoke Multicultural Society is continuing to expand our understanding of Canada as an immigrant society with this week’s free screening of the The Fullness of Time episode from the epic series, A Scattering of Seeds.
The film will be accompanied by a panel discussion involving four Revelstokians of Ukrainian heritage: Bob Melnyk, Sam Olynyk, Barry Ozdero and Dmitir Raiber.
The evening begins at 7 pm at Okanagan College and will also feature the society’s Annual General Meeting. That is expected to be brief.

The newly formed Revelstoke chapter of the Canadian Parents for French is holding an Open House on Thursday, April 4, at the Community Centre from 7 pm until 9 pm.
The aim of the meeting is to gather all stakeholders in one place to engage in meaningful dialogue about FI in Revelstoke,” Open House moderator Ben Wilkey said in an e-mail. “To date, all stakeholders have not had an opportunity to participate in prolonged dialogue. This Open House is an opportunity for learning, questioning and engaging one another, with the hope that the barriers to overcoming FI program implementation in Revelstoke can be overcome. SD19 is known provincially and within our community for it’s progressive approach to education programs and outstanding achievements. We feel strongly that by coming together, a solution for implementing FI can be achieved.”
