McLeese Lake Wildfire Community Consultation Meeting

17 people attended the Cariboo Regional District
Wildfire Consultation Meeting at the McLeese Lake Hall

From 6:30pm - 8pm, the Cariboo Regional District hosted a meeting at the McLeese Lake Community Hall in regards to a wildfire community consultation meeting. 17 people were able to make it, given the poor road conditions this evening

15 other such meetings have already been held.  Future ones include Kersley, Wells and Lac La Hache with a final report being delivered to the CRD Board in early 2018

After a presentation from CRD Staff, small roundtables were held where McLeese Lake and area residents' were able provide feedback to myself/CRD Staff on how the Regional District responded to this past summer's wildfires and how we can improve our response


My personal thanks for everyone showing in poor weather this evening to discuss a serious topic and a sincere/personal thank you to those who offered to house me overnight until road conditions could improve.  Your generosity is greatly appreciated and more than words could express!  I've always known McLeese Lake/Area residents' have big hearts and this example just demonstrates that, once again!
