The CRD is having an update from the Williams Lake RCMP at this week's meeting. Haven't seen one for the City of Williams Lake since Insp Pelley's departure. Is that because the RCMP stats or reports don't line up with Council's tough on crime agenda? Does October's election have anything to do with the missing statistics? Or are the current mayor and council just fearmongering to get re-elected by hiding the statistics? How about some new faces in the council chambers come October who aren’t controlled by the old guard. It’s time.

Thanks, Anonymous at 4:41pm, for your comment...

The presentation by Williams Lake RCMP is for the CRD Electoral Areas (D,E,F,K) and to clarify -- Williams Lake RCMP Detachment Commander Darren Dodge appeared at the May 24th, 2022 Williams Lake City Council meeting. That can be read at https://cariboopolitics.blogspot.com/2022/05/wl-council-highlights-may-24th-2022-mtg.html and we'll see how people feel about the current Williams Lake City Council and who will form the next Williams Lake City Council (Mayor/Councillors - 6) soon enough ....
