Think Tank Session on the Future of Forestry
As part of the wildfire recovery efforts, the City of Quesnel, in partnership with the University of Northern British Columbia and the Wildfire Recovery Team, is planning on hosting a forest sector two-day think tank session.

Public Works Facilities – Next Steps
The proposed new Public Works Facility is scheduled to go to as a referendum question in the upcoming October 2018 Local Government Election. In the meantime, City staff are looking at what must be done with the existing Public Works Facility. Council gave direction for City staff to proceed with a Third Party Assurance Opinion on the space requirements for the proposed Public Works Facility, as this will help to answer questions regarding the size of the proposed new facility, which is a major cost-driver for this proposed project. Also, Council asked City staff to proceed with a Detailed Condition Assessment of the existing Public Works Facility. This will help to answer questions regarding how much longer the City can continue to use the existing Public Works Facility, and what it would cost to fix, or replace, this existing facility.
