Editor's Note - Municipal Directors are likely to be Mary Sjostrom from Quesnel with L-A Roodenburg as Alternate, Kerry Cook from Williams Lake with Sue Zacharias/Surinderpal Rathor as Alternates (2 Alternates not permitted under the Local Government Act), Mitch Campsall from 100 Mile House with Dave Mingo as Alternate and Robin Sharpe from Wells

Finally, watch for Area 'G' Director Al Richmond to be returned as CRD Chair for a 4th term.  If he refuses a nomination, watch for either Ted Armstrong or even Bruce Rattray to become Chair for 1 year to allow Al Richmond to "rest" for a year, given he had a busy 3 year term as Chair
