Referendums in South Cariboo today

Today is General Voting Day for two Referendums in the South Cariboo

For those in Cariboo Regional District Electoral Areas H and L and a portion of Electoral Area 'G' - voters' are being asked to vote on the following question:

"Are you in favour of the adoption of Bylaw No. 4963, which would establish a service to provide a contribution of funds to the District of 100 Mile House for the continued provision of highway rescue services in Electoral Areas H, L, and a portion of G? The maximum annual requisition would be the greater of $40,000 or an amount raised by applying a tax rate of $0.0192/$1,000 to the net taxable value of land and improvements in the service area. (Based on 2015 assessed values, the current rate would be $0.0168/$1,000, which translates to a residential rate of $1.41/$100,000.)"
