Dear Constituents

On November 19th, residents and property owners of Area L expressed their confidence in me by electing me for a second term as their representative on the Cariboo Regional District Board of Directors. As the Director for Area L it will be my responsibility to communi- cate the wishes of area residents to the CRD Board of Directors on the delivery of local and regional services including land use planning, building inspections, waste management, bylaw enforcement, library, recreation, fire protection and invasive plant management.

I have enjoyed working in this position for the past three years and look forward to continuing this work for a second term.

During the campaign I committed to:

  • Work with and support local community groups
  • Work to increase recycling and promote environmentally responsible solid waste management practices
  • Support land development that is consistent with community wishes
  • Support tourism activities that reflect the character and history of the area
  • Encourage economic development approaches that emphasize self-sufficiency and long term sustainability
  • Lobby the provincial government for additional revenue streams
  • Lobby for more provincial support for fire departments and other emergency services
  • Encourage community planning and preparedness for wildfire emergencies

I look forward to your continued support as I work to achieve these objectives.

What's New

The easiest way to keep up to date on CRD activities affecting the Area "L" residents and property owners is to read the newsletter that I publish every couple of weeks. Please contact me to be included on the mailing list.

Here's what we are working on just now:

  • Emergency Planning –For information on preparing for emergencies (wildfires, floods …) and to keep track of emergencies as they occur, go to the Emergency Operations page of the CRD website.  You can also follow along on Facebook.

 

Development Applications

The CRD routinely considers amendments to Official Community Plans, rezoning applications, and changes in Agricultural Land Reserve status. OCP amendments and rezoning applications provide an opportunity for public input through the public hearing process. It is important to participate in this process to ensure that your interests are understood when decisions are being made. Details of applications under consideration are posted in the Development section of the website.

Shirley and I went for a walk around 108 Mile Lake. While we missed seeing the pelicans, there were lots of ducks - coots, widgeons, canvasbacks, scaups, buffleheads, mallards and ring-necked. We also managed to get quite close to a couple of mountain bluebirds.
