Quesnel Women's Resource Centre
Representatives updated Council on the programs and services provided by the QWRC and identified the gaps in services for the demographic that access their organization.
The most noted gap was the end of provincial funding for the Luna Clinic which provided women’s health exams in a safe setting, contraception options and feminine hygiene products.
The representatives also noted a drastic increase in presentation of women from the vulnerable population seeking shower, laundry, food and other supports that are lacking in the community.
QWRC expressed an interest in “a seat at the table” to work closely with the City of Quesnel to provide a hands-on perspective to discussions regarding programs and initiatives that affect women and children in our community.

Council approved installation of security cameras at the Quesnel Soccer Complex to help deter vandalism on the premises.

Council approved a letter to the Minister of Health, Josie Osborne, requesting continued and expanded funding for the 2025 BC Farmers' Market Nutrition Coupon Program at the Quesnel Famers' Market, to improve access to local, fresh food for low income households in our area.
