In Quesnel:
* Seems the move of the Quesnel Millionaires to Chilliwack is "all but done". See here
* Also - Independent Cariboo-North MLA Bob Simpson says a community event needs to happen to put pressure on Victoria/Ottawa to build the $30 million Multi-Centre Project (NHL sized ice rink with 2,000 seats & Performing Arts Center with 450 seats) and I agree with Bob on this move as the local politicians like Quesnel Mayor Sjostrom/CRD Vice-Chair Ted Armstrong have gone the distance to lobby politicians in Victoria/Ottawa for funding on this project and so far, haven't come up with the $15 milllion or more for this project. Also - the Central Cariboo region consisting of CRD/City of WL will soon need to look at upgrading the local Cariboo Memorial Recreation Complex which short-term needs $10 million + in upgrades to sustain this facility. If Quesnel can't get $15 million for its' proposed Multi-Centre, Williams Lake getting financial help for $10 million or more for the CMRC does not look promising and I'm not sure borrowing $10 million for the Complex, even when spread over taxpayers' in the Central Cariboo region, looks promising given the City of WL already carries $19 million in long-term debt and a good chunk of that will not be paid off until 2030, at the earliest
* Finally - Quesnel RCMP is looking for Tyler Lawrence Lisk who is wanted for violating 4 Probation Orders - see here

* Sun columnist Daphne Bramham blasts Victoria for not moving forward on amendments to Local Government legislation, pertaining to civic elections until the 2014 BC Civic Elections - see here
