From the Cariboo Regional District:
The Cariboo Regional District has received information from the province of British Columbia, which announced a new regulation regarding the eligibility of volunteers to run in local government elections. The Ministry of Community, Sport and Cultural Development’s announcement provides clarification on what constitutes a local government “employee” versus a “volunteer” for the purposes of running for office in the applicable local government.
The province defined what monetary compensation a volunteer may receive and how it affects an individual’s eligibility to run for office. The regulation also outlines that the following is not considered monetary compensation for volunteers and thereby makes them eligible to run for office, provided they meet the other necessary requirements (18 years of age or older, Canadian citizen, BC resident, etc.):
(a) Reasonable and necessary expenses actually incurred and reimbursed that arise directly out of the performance of the volunteer services for a municipality or regional district;
(b) The provision of insurance coverage, workers’ compensation coverage, personal clothing, equipment or training directly related to the performance of the volunteer services for a municipality or regional district
(c) Gifts in recognition of long or exemplary service in the provision of volunteer services to a municipality or regional district.
For further information or questions, please contact the Cariboo Regional District’s Chief Election Officer, Alice Johnston, or Deputy Chief Election Officer, Rick Hodgson at 250-392-3351 or toll free at 1-800-665-1636 or via email at ajohnston@cariboord.bc.ca (Alice Johnston) or rhodgson@cariboord.bc.ca (Rick Hodgson)

From the Cariboo Regional District:
Editor's Note - I wish to pass along my personal congrats to Rick Hodgson for winning this award in honour of his public service. He is a great public servant and I look forward to his continued service to the people of the Cariboo-Chilcotin
In a presentation ceremony held today, Mr. Rick Hodgson, Deputy Chief Administrative Officer of the Cariboo Regional District was awarded with the Applied Science Technologists and Technicians of British Columbia (ASTTBC) Association’s “Top in Technology” award.
“We were pleased to learn that Mr. Hodgson earned the Top In Technology Award,” stated Janis Bell, Chief Administrative Officer. “We are very proud of our staff and the accomplishments and acknowledgments we receive about them. It is also nice to see Mr. Hodgson recognized by his peers for his years of dedicated service to the public sector.”
In 2007, Rick Hodgson was named to the position of Deputy Chief Administrative Officer. Previously, he was CRD’s Chief Building Inspector since 1988 after spending time with the City of Kamloops as an Engineering Technician, and Building Inspector/Plans Examiner. Hodgson earned ASTTBC’s Certified Technician’s (CTech) designation in 2004 and in 2007 was the first Building Official in British Columbia to achieve National level certification through the Alliance of Building Officials Associations.
The purpose of the award is to recognize an ASTTBC member who represents a model technology professional. The award is presented annually to an ASTTBC member who has demonstrated qualifications consistent with the high expectations of a BC professional committed to serving the public and acting as a role model to other British Columbians.
“Rick Hodgson has an enviable record of service to BC spanning about thirty years,” stated John Leech, Executive Director of ASTTBC. “At every step of his career Rick has taken on increasingly challenging positions, and given volunteer service to several professional associations. This glowing record brought Rick to the attention of our nominating committee. He’s been a model representative in this community of our 10,000 members. We’re honoured to recognize and celebrate his ongoing professional leadership as an ASTTBC Certified Technician.”
