## Editorial handling

- Published a dated Daily Watch brief because the homepage needed a post-Sept. 8 update and DriveBC changed the nearby Highway 3 utility-work item to run to Sept. 30.
- Did not state council outcomes. Sept. 8 agenda items are confirmed; decisions are not confirmed until a meeting record is posted.
- Safety lead was not escalated: no weather warning object, no DriveBC emergency alert, no Boundary EmergencyInfoBC item, and all under-100-km wildfire-map entries in the pull were Under Control.
- Kept fire-service personnel claims as unconfirmed until an official or named-source record is available.
- Treat the Heritage Society grant language as an agenda recommendation until minutes/video show the decision.
- Do not list any person as an official 2026 candidate until an accepted nomination list, named statement or other verifiable candidate evidence exists.
