At the January 24th, 2018 meeting of the Central Cariboo Joint Committee which is made up of the Cariboo Regional District Directors for Areas D,E,F,J,K (Steve Forseth, Melynda Neufeld, Joan Sorley, Roger William and Betty Anderson) and all of Williams Lake City Council -- the Committee discussed the Cariboo Regional District/City of Williams Lake formally submitting a joint bid for the 2019 North Central Local Government Association's (NCLGA) AGM/Convention. After a brief discussion, the following was resolved:
That the City of Williams Lake and CRD staff work together to submit an application to host the 2019 North Central Local Government Association Convention.
The above mentioned Resolution was endorsed by Williams Lake City Council at its' February 6th, 2018 meeting and by the Cariboo RD Board at its' February 16th, 2018 meeting
At its February 5th, 2018 meeting - Prince George City Council, at the urging of its' Mayor, Lyn Hall, resolved to put in a bid for the 2019 NCLGA AGM/Convention
However, on March 6th, 2018 - NCLGA President (and Dawson Creek City Councillor) Shaely Wilbur wrote to Prince George Mayor Lyn Hall to advise that the 2019 NCLGA Convention/AGM will be held in Williams Lake but encouraging the City of Prince George to agree to host the 2020 NCLGA Convention/AGM. Read the full letter here
The last time NCLGA Conventions' were held in the Cariboo-Chilcotin include:
* 2007 - Jointly between Cariboo Regional District/City of Williams Lake
* 2012 - Jointly between Cariboo Regional District/District of 100 Mile House
* 2013 - Jointly between Cariboo Regional District/City of Quesnel
I am very much looking forward to hosting my fellow NCLGA Colleagues in 2019 in the Cariboo-Chilcotin. I know that they will have a great time here while doing NCLGA Business!
