A Big White community town hall forum planned for Wednesday, March 6, may take on an angry tone vented by those in attendance.

At issue is a vocal negative reaction from residents and the local business community to proposed changes to the service operation of the Big White transfer station put forward by the Regional District of Kootenay Boundary (RDKB).

The regional district wants to reduce the waste management service to three days a week, which has generated a frustrated reaction from the Big White Mountain Chamber of Commerce.
