The snow has melted and SPRING HAS SPRUNG! 🌻🌞

This means that plenty of garbage has revealed itself throughout the community since the snow has receded and now our beautiful village needs a facelift.

👉 YOU CAN HELP!

Join us on Wednesday, April 21st from 10am-noon for a community-wide SPRING CLEAN-UP event in Valemount.

You may pick up garbage bags and disposable gloves at RVCS, or use your own, gather all the litter you can speckled throughout the streets and parks, then deliver your bounty to the RVCS office where Village staff will collect and take to the transfer station. 🗑

We will be offering hot soup & a bun to all participants afterwards between noon-1pm at RVCS as well (By donation, located at 99 Gorse Street).

Please be mindful or COVID protocols and stick with those in your household.

It truly takes a village! See you out there!!

Hey everyone! Listen up! 👂🏾 👉 It's Preve

Hey everyone! Listen up! 👂🏾

👉 It's Prevention of Violence Against Women Week (April 11-17) and we'd like to let everyone know about some ways that we can make a difference in lives of women everywhere, and to inform residents about the resources available throughout the Robson Valley.

👉 Together, we can improve a woman's sense of safety and create an environment where she feels encouraged to seek help.

💜💜💜 In honour of women who have faced violence, please consider helping us in the creation a collaborative vision board by adding images or words that speak to your experience or feelings of violence towards women or their resiliency.

Please message us on social media or email media@rvcsbc.org for the Vision Board link. We will share the Vision Board with the community this Friday. All contributions to the project are anonymous. 💜💜💜

We see you out there fighting everyday. We see your pain, your struggles and your achievements. Please know you don't have to go through it alone.

Contact us if you're a self-identified woman residing in the Robson Valley who is experiencing violence by calling us toll-free at 1-844-324-2004. We are here to help! 💜

Are there maintenance tips that can help you to overcome the new-age of complex and intimidating vehicles? 🚗🚕🚙

👉 Yes, there sure are!!!

🚙 This Basic Vehicle Care Workshop will show you how to inspect your vehicle on a regular basis and is a great way to keep up on basic maintenance.

🚙 When you familiarize yourself with the process,
it will make it easier to keep your vehicle in tip top shape. It can also prevent small repairs and quirks from becoming bigger problems that can burn a hole in your pocket.

🚙 This class will teach you skills to help you identify
and recognize when to take your vehicle to a professional; which will help you feel more confident, less overwhelmed by vehicles.

🚙 Join us in McBride on April 28th from noon-2:30pm or Valemount on April 30th from noon-2:30pm.

Contact Charlene to sign up for this class in either McBride or Valemount! Call 250-569-
2266 or email charlene@rvcsbc.org.

Covid safety measures are in place and limited seats available. This workshop is for anyone 16 years or older.
