All this week - New District or City Councils' in the Cariboo-Chilcotin, School Boards in Quesnel/Williams Lake (SD #27/28) and the Cariboo Regional District Board of Directors' will be sworn in for the 2011-2014 Term. Those being sworn in for the first time may even make mention of their predecessors
Last Friday - the Kamloops Daily News had an editorial on those leaving office, either by retirement or thrown out of office by voters' in the latest local elections'. Read it here
For myself - I'm thankful for those like Coralee Oakes/Peter Couldwell in Quesnel, Tom Barr in Williams Lake, Pete Penner/Wayne Rodier of School District #27 and Art Dumaresq/Rick Mumford of the Cariboo Regional District for stepping up and serving in public office as it can sometimes be thankless and I wish them the very best in their future endeavours
