Nominees Named For Upcoming School District 27 Trustee By-Election

 The Independent Investigations Office of BC has determined that there are no reasonable grounds to believe that an officer committed an offence in the death of a man in Williams Lake RCMP jail cells.

The B.C. General Employees' Union (BCGEU) and the provincial government have agreed to enter non-binding mediation, expected to begin as soon as possible. Vince Ready and Amanda Rogers are to be the mediators facilitating the process. The BCGEU said in a statement, it's members will still maintain picket lines across the province while mediation proceeds.

Central Cariboo Search and Rescue (CCSR) members were kept busy in September.

Hydrant maintenance work is scheduled to restart in parts of the South Cariboo starting this Monday (October 20).

Calls for service were down slightly last month for members of the Williams Lake Fire Department.
