Every year the graduating class of SHSS in Castlegar haunts Zuckerberg Island in Castlegar to raise money for the local Food Bank. Randy from Toaster agreed to join me to record our experience through the dark and gloomy no mans land that used to be a home and gathering place for Indigenous people from time immemorial. Marked by pit houses and grave markers, and is centred by a home Zuckerberg himself erected after its original inhabitants had be destroyed. It is indeed haunted and it is indeed a great cause out of a tragedy. Happy Halloween! email your positive story: LiveKootenays@gmail.com

In episode 11 Randy from Toaster and I read from a bag of letters found abandoned. Just like Santa Claus does all year long, especially around Christmas time when I'm sure he receives more letters than an any other time of the year due to child forms of human greed.
