Last month, I did a #CaribooRD Electoral Area "D" Community Survey for items to work on in 2025, for those living on or residing in:
* Soda Creek Road (past the City of Williams Lake municipal boundaries)
* Mile 168 Road
* Commodore Heights
* Pine Valley
* Fox Mountain
* Wildwood
* Deep Creek
* Xat'sull First Nation (Deep Creek/Soda Creek Reserves)
* Tyee Lake
* Blue Lake
* Soda Creek Valley
* McLeese Lake/Duckworth Lake
* Macalister
* Marguerite
A big THANK YOU for the 47 people who filled out the electronic survey
Broadly speaking, the following topics came forward:
* Roads (Item most often raised and will continue to advocate on this throughout the Electoral Area)
* Internet Access (there should be movement on this item in Deep Creek, Wildwood, PIne Valley by the end of 2026)
* Streetlights in McLeese Lake
* Seniors' Care Services in McLeese Lake
* Garbage/Recycling Curbside PIck up (previously, the Regional District has surveyed residents' in Commodore Heights, Pine Valley, Fox Mountain for this service and rejected by local residents)
* More Policing Services including clamping down on speeding (am working on this)
* Animal Control in the Electoral Area (working on this for 2025 through Regional District initiated survey)
* Allowance of 2nd Family Dwelling on ALR Land
* Secondary Dwelling on Rural Properties (already permitted in many cases -- rural residents' just need to contact Regional District planning staff at 250-392-3351 to start the process) ...
* FireSmart Programming (Regional District is working on this..)
* Independent VFD funding support (proposed to use Regional District Staff time to research a funding model recently approved in principle by TNRD (Thompson Nicola RD) Board however this was rejected by a 10-4 vote of the Cariboo Regional District Board.. Will continue to advocate for Independent VFD's at McLeese Lake/Tyee Lake ...
* Water Testing at Tyee Lake
Again, thank you to everyone who submitting a response and I will do what I can to address the concerns brought forward to the best of my ability...
Yours in service,
Steve
