Good morning, Corvallis.

The All-American, Everyone-Can-Join, Fabulous, Fantastic Fourth of July Parade in Corvallis—a 40-year tradition—is canceled after local organizers decided to end the event.

The Philomath School District is asking community members to complete an online survey that will help guide its new strategic plan.

Superintendent Susan Halliday said the survey asks for feedback on topics like safety, student support and communication — details that will help set future priorities.

Corvallis students won civics honors for their achievements in government studies—an award that recognized their hard work—and local education officials celebrated the success.

The City of Corvallis Public Works Department installed permanent signs in May that name four formerly unnamed creeks in the Rock Creek Watershed with native Kalapuya terms following a renaming effort with Tribal Governments and local partners—this marks the first phase of planned installations in the area. The signs connect local water conservation work, as the watershed supplies one-third of the community’s drinking water, with indigenous cultural heritage.

The OLCC ratified changes to the Bottle Bill from Senate Bill 992, which Gov. Kotek signed into law earlier this week.
