RADIO FREE KASLO, JUNE 6, 2025

"It may seem that only those already in power are the ones with the ability to make change, but democracy is a participation sport, and if we all take on one small part, we can make big changes."

     — Sami Sage, Democracy in Retrograde: How to make changes big and small in our country and in our lives

Long-time Kaslo, BC resident Anne Malik takes Sage's advice quite seriously.

For many years, Anne has monitored the deliberations of successive Kaslo Village councils, holding elected officials and municipal staff to their word — and occasionally, their feet to the fire.

Without bias, Anne has emerged as a reliable, detailed, conscientious chronicler of Village council debates, motions, and actions. She closely followed the process that led to the adoption of Kaslo's current (2022) Official Community Plan, as she has the proposed South Beach strata RV park.

With all this in mind, Radio Free Kaslo host Randy Morse sat down with Anne Malik for a conversation, during which she shares her views on the controversial proposal that would see Village land sold and a 72-lot RV strata development occur on the south bank of the Kaslo River.
