## Editorial handling

- Published a dated Daily Watch brief because Sept. 11 is the City candidate-package nomination-paper deadline day and the homepage needed a current election/safety/council follow-up check.
- Did not publish candidate names. No accepted candidate list was found in the public pull.
- Did not state council outcomes. Sept. 8 agenda items are confirmed; decisions are not confirmed until minutes, video, a City update or another public 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.
