Cariboo RD's 50th Anniversary Photo Contest: Celebrating the Cariboo

Courtesy of the Cariboo Regional District:

This year, the Cariboo Regional District is celebrating its 50th anniversary. As a way to celebrate, we are hoping you will share your photos from around the Cariboo with us for the chance to win a GoPro.
 
Post your photos on the Cariboo Regional District Facebook page at facebook.com/caribooregion or email them to communications@cariboord.ca by 2 p.m. on Tuesday, July 31.
 
An independent panel of judges will evaluate all the photos and pick the top three contestants based on the quality of the photos and how well they represent the Cariboo Regional District. We will share the top three photos on our Facebook page on Thursday, August 9, so the page’s followers can vote for the winning photo.
 
The photo with the most likes at noon on August 23 will be the winner of the grand prize – a GoPro HERO5 Session.
 
In addition to the photo contest, the Board is planning several celebratory events and activities, including ‘birthday parties’ at local events throughout the region and a float for community events and parades. Watch the CRD website and Facebook page for more details in the next few weeks.
 
Incorporated on July 9, 1968, the CRD is proud to be celebrating 50 years of providing local government services to the region. The CRD 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 libraries and recreation facilities.
