The Cariboo RD Board will consider the following noteworthy items at its' meeting on Friday, October 26th:

b) Soda Creek First Nation requests the Cariboo RD to provide Building Inspection services - read here
c) CRD Board to submit an application to the Federal Community Infrastructure Improvement Fund for the Gateway water system (Area H)- read here
d) Receipt of Greyhound Letter advising of cutbacks - read here. As Quesnel Mayor Sjostrom noted earlier this month, I wonder if she will be successful in convincing the CRD Board to join the growing list of rural local governments protesting this act by Greyhound. In contrast -- the Kamloops Daily News editorial says the proposed cutbacks by Greyhound are an opportunity for a transit business to step in and fill in the transportation needs by rurals - read that editorial here
