Eileen had worked at the Coldwater School for over 30 years as a teacher’s assistant. Many students from her early years have grown to become parents themselves and their children are now students themselves that she has taught in school. She was a hairdresser at Freedom Designs for over 3 years, many years ago. A renowned caterer, she had a passion for cooking and bak- ing for people, especially for her family. To this day, there are companies still calling for her to cater. She is dearly missed by many. For- ever in our hearts.

Merritt population growth est. at 1.9% Merritt is listed via BC Stats as one of the fastest growing communities in B.C., according to the 2015 Municipal Popula- tion Estimates, released last month. Merritt’s population growth is esti- mated to have risen from 7469 in 2014 to 7610 in 2015, a 1.9% increase making it “the second fastest growing community in the Thompson Nicola region. Sun Peaks had the largest population increase at 4.9% from 2014 to 2015.” Kamloops’ modest 0.6% population increase translates into 541 people, whereas Merritt’s 1.9% works out to 141 people. And Sun Peaks’ huge increase amounts to 22 people, as the municipal- ity’s population rose from 448 to 470. Of the only 3 other cities in BC that have 7000-something people like Merritt, Castlegar’s population rose by 144 peo- ple for a similar increase to ours, 1.8%. The others — Revelstoke & Trail — both lost up to 20 people. Will George, City of Merritt’s new Manager of Business and Economic De- velopment commented “It is great to see we have had a steady population growth over the last few years, not many com- munities can say that. “Population growth is a key factor while attracting businesses and investment to the area. Continued population growth over consecutive years has positive effects throughout the community. New residents offer a wide array of skills and fresh ideas into developing the region.” Over the years, Merritt’s population has fluctuated: in 1981 it was 6110; 1986 it was 6189; 1991 it was 6898; 1996 it was 7631. Then it plummetted in 2001 down to 7088 (round the time Weyerhauser closed), and in 2006 down to 6998 - based on censuses. It began inching back up: 7195 in 2011; 7236 in 2012; 7327 in 2013; 7469 in 2014; and 7610 in 2015, based on BC Stats population estimates. Coldwater Ave. closures Coldwater Avenue, from Voght to Garcia, will be temporarily closed on Sunday, Feb. 21 & Wednesday, Feb. 24, from Noon to 4pm on both days. Traffic delays will be minimal with single lane alternating traffic for training purposes.
