We just had a delightful lunch with special guests Minister of State for Seniors Ralph Sultan and MLA Donna Barnett, following a tour of Cariboo Lodge. The minister was made aware of the current state of the building, and also met with the Seniors Advisory Council and visited other seniors’ facilities. There is an opportunity to apply for $20,000 to promote an age-friendly community. The City will work with seniors, building on the good work of our Accessibility Committee, and work together on other issues such as housing to become a truly age-friendly community. We were chosen as one of 18 communities to receive support from the United Way to establish a non-medical home support program called Better at Home.

October is Small Business Month. More than 98% of BC businesses are small businesses, and they are the engine that drives our economy forward. I want to thank our local businesses for your hard work and our investment in our communities. You generously support our fundraising initiatives and sports teams, and genuinely make a difference in our community. Thank you.
