Six young women from the Greater Trail area of the Regional District of Kootenay Boundary recently took part in this year’s Kootenay Ignite Firefighting Camp, marking the largest delegation yet from the region in the camp’s three-year history.

A major storm was a setback for a provincial baseball tournament in Trail, but organizers are pushing ahead with a condensed schedule.
