Brenda Ballas, writes to Welcome to Williams Lake deploring the state of the local beach at Scout Island and lays the blame with Williams Lake Mayor Kerry Cook
This is not a new issue as this was deliberated between the local Field Naturalists and former Williams Lake Mayor Rick Gibson's Council (2005-2008) and I'm told years previous to this as when the City/CRD opened the Sam Ketchum Pool, the City stopped cleaning up the beach at Scout Island. I wonder if Scout Island's beach should receive the same level of cleanup as we see at Boitanio and Kiwanis Parks, as examples.
