WL News - Oct 25th edition

a) Election Announcements or News:

City of WL - Mike Bouchard wants a seat on Council - see here
                     Danica Hughes wants a seat on Council - see here

Editor's Note - Ms. Hughes, on the Rush, suggested that "certain candidates" were running to line their own pockets rather than serving the community interest.  I profoundly regret her making that comment.  Let us all keep the debate to policies or positions that candidates advocate for, and not what a candidate(s) personal motivation is for running.  Interesting that she came right out and endorsed Kerry Cook for Mayor.  I wonder if that will hurt her bid for a Councillor seat or not...

The CCACS has now been working for a whole year. As we think about the future, we would very much appreciate your help in telling us how much you know about our work, how useful it has been for you and what we might do better in the future. Eventually we want to develop a vision for arts and culture in the Central Cariboo that properly reflects what's important to the arts and culture community and that speaks to the interests of the taxpayers who support that community.

Please will you help us by filling out our survey by November 21, 2011 at 5pm
