BRADNER, BC - On Monday, September 28, 2015, a huge fire involving two chicken barns had Bradner Road closed between Starr and McTavish. The fire occurred on a chicken farm, just south of McTavish in the 7000 block. There was a lot of congestion as neighbours and passer-by's converged on the area to get a look at the spectacle. Smoke could be seen as far south as Lynden, Washington and west to metro Vancouver.

Getting James Conway out of Bradner BC

Bradner BC - I am writing on behalf of the Bradner residence, in conflict with James Conway. We are not part of any hoodlum, vigilante acts. We are a community frustrated with corrections, frustrated with the system. This system has failed us again and are frustrated that a child sex offender is allowed to live in the ALR breaking a bylaw. What makes it ok for them to break laws? If they were not here in the first place none of this stuff would ever have happened. This is a beautiful neighbourhood with great people, the problem, after all, is the sex offender and a half-way house running in an illegal way.

The following article was written by reporter Vikki Hopes and posted on the Abbotsford News website on Sept. 26th, 2015. The residence of Conway, convicted child sex offender, was intentionally flooded early Saturday morning, causing the ceiling to collapse. Constable Ian MacDonald said the Abbotsford Police received a report at 2 am about a flooding of the home on Joanita Place in the North Bradner area.

Bradner BC - Brad Moran has been ranked as one of the top 125 players in the history of the Western Hockey League (WHL). The list was released as part of the WHL’s 50th season celebration. 

​Moran grew up on McTavish Road on a dairy farm (McTavish & Satchell). I remember biking there for my Grade 7 Bradner School bicycling field trip. He played for the Canucks briefly (they foolishly let him go..!). Moran is also Peggy Parkinson’s nephew, who was my Grade 3 teacher at Bradner School.

Here is a quick overview of the majority of Abbotsford Rural Ratepayers  candidates.

Bear Sighting Abbotsford BCImage Source - Wildsafe BC
Mt Lehman BC - ​​On Thursday, September 24th, 2015 a black bear was seen on the doorstep of Etsell Winery. The winery is located in the heart of Mt Lehman near the post office, school and library to name a few. At this time of year bears are looking for food, fruit, berries and nuts to store up for their winter hibernation. They will also target residential compost and garbage bins. 
​
The black bear is the most common and widely distributed of the three bears found in Canada. BC boasts one of the highest populations of black bears in the world with their numbers being anywhere between 120,000-150,000  animals. The Wildsafe BC website says that, 'pretty much all of BC is ​​considered 'bear country' with bears inhabiting everything from the coastal forests, ​through to the ​interior grasslands. From north to south and east to west in this province you’ll have a chance to see black bears.

Sharon Christian began her teaching career some 40 years ago. She has been at it for so long, she mused in a recent conversation we had, that some of her first students are now in their 50’s! Pretty mindboggling when you stop to think of it.
