Woodstove Exchange
Jeannine McCormack from the Baker Creek Enhancement Society (BCES) appeared before the Board to present an overview of the 2009 Cariboo Woodstove Exchange Program.

The goal of the program is to improve air quality in communities with a demonstrated need. Residents that participate in the program can receive rebates of $250 from the province. BCES received funding to administer the program for the entire Cariboo Chilcotin. For further information on the woodstove exchange program, visit the provincial website at www.bcairquality.ca

Digital Aviation Cameras for Anahim Lake Airport
Nav Canada and the Cariboo Regional District will be entering into a licence agreement for the installation of digital aviation weather cameras (DAWC). The term of the licence is for five years, commencing on August 1, 2010. Nav Canada wishes to install the cameras at the Anahim Lake Airport to provide frequently updated photos showing the current weather at the airport. These photos will then be available to be viewed by pilots on Nav Canada’s weather camera web page www.metcam.navcanada.ca
Stampede Appreciation
On behalf of the Williams Lake Stampede Association, City of Williams Lake Alternate Director Surinderpal Rather presented the CRD with a framed 2010 Stampede poster in appreciation of the Regional District’s support.
State of the Region
The Cariboo Regional District will be holding a number of State of the Region meetings this fall prior to commencing the financial plan process. The intent of the sessions would be to conduct “kitchen-table” type discussions with residents about various aspects of the regional district, our municipal partners, and the services we offer. The sessions will include a series of stations manned by elected officials and staff to have casual, informal discussions with constituents. The purpose of the sessions will be to engage constituents in a two way dialogue in advance of financial plan preparation. Watch the CRD website at www.cariboord.bc.ca or local newspapers for local dates and times of the sessions.
Chair Richmond to seek re-election to UBCM Executive
The Regional District agreed to nominate CRD Chair Al Richmond for re-election for the position of Regional District Representative on the Union of British Columbia Municipalities (UBCM) 2010/2011 Executive. Having representation on the UBCM Executive ensures that the Cariboo Chilcotin region has a provincial voice. UBCM is The Union of British Columbia Municipalities (UBCM) is an organization that has served and represented the interests of local governments in BC since 1905. UBCM initiates, monitors, interprets and reacts where changes or actions at the senior levels of government could have an effect on local governments and the communities they serve.

Mountain Bike Skills Park
The CRD Board agreed to provide support in principle for a proposed mountain bike park in Quesnel behind the Arts and Recreation Centre. CRD and City of Quesnel staff will work with representatives of the Gold Rush Cycling Club to indentify the next steps for development.

Referenda for Central Cariboo Transit and HandyDART
Residents of portions of Electoral Areas D, E and F, will be heading to the polls September 25, 2010 to vote on the proposed expansion of Central Cariboo Transit services into their respective areas. There will be two referenda with the first one asking if residents wish to receive transit and HandyDART services and the second will ask if residents wish for HandyDART services only. A map of the proposed service areas along with detailed information about the proposed services will be posted on the CRD website at www.cariboord.bc.ca next week.
