Steve Rant - Wood First Resolution & City of WL

As I feared last night, Council did not consider a Wood First Resolution at its' meeting last night, contrary to a motion passed at the Feb 2nd, 2010 Committee of the Whole. I'm not sure what the hold-up is however Mayor Cook openly declared that the Wood First initiative would be the subject of further discussions at the March 16, 2010 Committee of the Whole meeting with staff from the Central Cariboo Forest District attending to discuss the "Wood First" initiative of the Province of BC.

I really hope that Council gets its' act together on this subject, otherwise we risk looking like fools compared to other local governments who are jumping on the "Wood First" bandwagon and being praised by the Province of BC and that praise usually brings with it certain taxpayer goodies
