End of Week News - March 25th edition

In the week that was, here's a wrap of news in the Cariboo-Chilcotin area:

* WL Council directed their Staff to bring forward an amendment to the City of WL's Zoning Bylaw to regulate Shipping containers - see here

* WL Council agreed on Tuesday to submit a 75% grant application to Ottawa for Woodland Drive Water/Sewer - see here

* TNRD (Thompson-Nicola Regional District) has "communication breakdown" with respect to the Eagan Lk Transfer Station (TNRD Area 'E' and CRD Area 'L') - see here (Editor's Note - CRD during its' Public Consultation Meeting on the next 10 year Solid Waste Management Plan will need to ensure that it has a multi-faceted approach to communicating with the public on the new Solid Waste Management Plan, lest they receive the same public mood that was presented to TNRD officials at this meeting, given many in the rural Cariboo-Chilcotin do not have access to high-speed Internet)

* Lac La Hache parents told to lobby MLA's for more funding, but Donna Barnett says lobby your school trustees - see here

* 13 Sick Dogs discovered at busted pot site in Williams Lake area - see here

* Donna Barnett says "no provincial election on the horizon" - See here

Please Note - I'll be blogging later today when the federal government falls.  The official vote is expected to take place at 10:30am, our time
