CRD Budget Consultation Mtgs next week

Courtesy of the Cariboo Regional District:

The Cariboo Regional District will be hosting three meetings next week as part of the 2013 Budget Consultation process. It is extremely important for residents to attend their sub-regional budget consultation meeting and have the opportunity to provide feedback and suggestions to the CRD’s Board of Directors about the proposed budget and business plans before they receive final adoption on March 22, 2013. Be sure to have your say!

Meetings will take place as follows:

South Cariboo

Wednesday, January 30 - 7 p.m.
Creekside Seniors’ Centre – 100 Mile House

North Cariboo

Thursday, January 31 – 7 p.m.
Quesnel Legion Hall - Quesnel

Central Cariboo & Chilcotin

Saturday, February 2 – 1 p.m.
The Pioneer Complex (Room 119) – Williams Lake

The meetings are designed to explain the CRD’s budgets for the services that it provides to Regional District residents. Traditional Town Hall meetings will now take place in September and October.

Once all three meetings have taken place, the presentation will be posted on the CRD website at cariboord.bc.ca along with the preliminary budget booklet and the budget consultation survey. If you cannot attend your local session, please feel free to view the information online, and fill out a survey online or return it to your local CRD office. Further information is also available by calling 250-392-3351 or toll free at 1-800-665-1636.

The Cariboo Regional District currently provides more than 100 local government services to taxpayers including fire protection, land-use planning, solid waste management, and invasive plant management as well as access for residents to libraries and recreation facilities.
