News and event information for Williams Lake, BC - as it happens.

The Williams Lake Indian Band (WLIB) today announced it will be entering into a business partnership with LandQuest Realty Corporation that will provide for the marketing of some 70 acres of development lands.

"We’re excited to be actively marketing these lands," states Williams Lake Indian Band Chief, Ann Louie.

The lands to be marketed have been designated for development under the Indian Act, meaning that there are no further administrative steps to be taken to facilitate development.

"Williams Lake Indian Band is open for business and ready to go," states Economic Development Officer Kirk Dressler. "The designated lands along Highway 97 on Williams Lake Indian Reserve #1 represent some of the most desirable lands in the Cariboo. We’re contemplating a number of different options, including joint venture options, to provide for the development of those lands."
