State of Region

The Cariboo Regional District will be holding several “State of the Region” meetings this fall before embarking on the financial planning process. It's hoped the ‘kitchen table’ type discussions with residents about various aspects of the regional district, municipal partners and the services the CRD offers will enable constituents to engage in open dialogue before the financial plan preparation begins. The meetings will include a series of stations manned by elected officials and staff to facilitate casual, informal discussions with constituents. Stay tuned for local dates and times.

Planning for this fall's Ducks Unlimited Dinner and Auction is already under way. People interested in joining the committee to help plan this annual fund-raiser on Sept. 25 for wetland conservation, can contact Eamon McArdle at 250-791-6509.

108 Heritage Site

As tempting as it may be, please note that horses are not allowed on the 108 Heritage Site, which includes in and around the barn, around all the buildings and the picnic area. There is a trail below the heritage site property that is available to horseback riders but the heritage site property itself is strictly off limits. With weddings, tourists, folks picnicking and enjoying these older buildings and the well-kept grounds, no one wants to be stepping in a pile of road apples. The area that is off-limits is clearly marked and folks are asked to take heed of these notices.
