Region Wrap-Up - Oct 28th edition

In Quesnel:

* Quesnel Councillor Sushil Thapar reports on all projects over budget and how much long term debt the City of Quesnel has acquired in the last few years.  See that here.  Also - Mr. Thapar and Mary Sjostrom were discussing this on the radio this morning.  Should Thapar/Sjostrom be re-elected, I wonder if their clearly polarized relationship will continue for the 2011-2014 term of Quesnel Council

* Quesnel Community Economic Development Corporation snags another award - see more details here

In Williams Lake:

* The new Business Expansion/Attraction Strategy Task Force have their first meeting this week - see more here

* This past Wednesday - in the online comment section of the Williams Lake Tribune, user "True54321" said this, in part:

She (Kerry Cook) was in part responsible for the community policing debaucle and the resignation of 32 people in one day including Bob MacIntosh

Interesting comment - I've also heard this confirmed through others as well...if true, it doesn't speak well of our local Community Policing team.  Maybe connected to the decision to no longer have a personal presence for Community Policing at Community Corner, see the blog post I did on that here

* A Reminder that there are three  "All Candidate Forums" in Williams Lake next week.  On November 2nd from 5:30pm - 8:00pm at the Tourism Discovery Centre for WL City Councillor candidates only and at WL Seniors' Village on Thursday, November 3rd at 7:00pm and also Thursday, Nov 3rd from 11:45am - 1:30pm for the 3 WL Mayoralty Candidates only at Beeotcheese's Restaurant (by Lo's Florist). Contact WL Chamber of Commerce at 250-392-5025 or visitors@telus.net for ticket purchase information for the WL Mayoralty Candidate Forum
