100 Mile resident sets up FB Page to oppose new 100 Mile Pool initiative

A local 100 Mile resident (Larry Badke) has established a Facebook page, this past Saturday, encouraging his fellow residents' to oppose a local initiative to establish an aquatic pool in 100 Mile House - view that Facebook page here.  In fact, Pat Corbett from the Hills Health Ranch has posted this to the FB Page where he says:

Many Hundreds of people living in 100 Mile House area use the pool at The Hills Health Ranch on a membership and drop-in basis each year; all at NO COST to any tax payers.

This as the Cariboo Regional District conducts a phone survey in September to gauge public support for a new aquatic pool down the road.

It'll be interesting to see if this becomes an item in the 100 Mile civic election this fall as 100 Mile Mayor Mitch Campsall seeks to hang on to his seat vs former Cariboo RD Area 'L' Director Maureen Pinkney in a repeat battle of the 2011 Civic Election in 100 Mile House and if this will spur on people to consider running in Cariboo RD elections in Electoral Areas G, H, and L this November...
