WL Tribune reports today that the RCMP have been called in to look into possible financial irregularities with the Community Arts Council's financial books. A complaint was laid with the RCMP in June of this year. You can find the story here (Tuesday) and here (Thursday)
Earlier today, I sent an email to Mayor Cook with copies to both Councillor Laurie Walters and CRD Area 'D' Director Deb Bischoff (in her capacity as Central Cariboo Joint Committee Co-Chair) requesting that until the RCMP investigation into the financial books of the Community Arts Council has wrapped up and until the Central Cariboo Joint Committee members have an opportunity to meet with executive members with the Community Arts Council to clarify their status and their future vis-a-vis operation of the Central Cariboo Arts and Culture Function, then they (Community Arts Council) should not receive any funding from this Function for the interim and perhaps the Function's taxation should be temporarily suspended, pending the outcome of any legal proceedings on this subject and the RCMP investigation
