Quesnel Council Meeting(s) Online...

Yesterday in a test upload - the City of Quesnel uploaded the March 12th Quesnel Council Meeting in its' entirety which you can view below (a 2 hour video clip):


Meanwhile in Williams Lake - the City's Communications Coordinator will tell Williams Lake Council this at their 'Committee of the Whole Meeting' tonight regarding uploading Williams Lake City Council meetings to view online:

Currently, (Williams Lake) Council meetings are still broadcast on Shaw only. The City does not have the capacity currently to webcast. YouTube is not well-suited for longer videos, such as meetings

Curious that the City of Quesnel is willing to try the option of placing its' Council meeting online (with consent of Shaw Cable) but Williams Lake is not willing to pursue the same.  If Williams Lake/Quesnel Council are not prepared to place web cameras' in their Council Chambers, then the next best thing for the Cities of Quesnel/Williams Lake is to pursue a 'partnership' with Shaw Cable which would allow these organizations to place the video from WL/Quesnel Council Meetings' for viewing online 'on demand' by the public and at no cost to the local taxpayer

Sounds like a winner to me!!
