Village of Clinton gets economic opportunity
The provincial government signed a community forest agreement with the Village of Clinton on May 1. The new community forest covers 62,000 hectares and will have an allowable annual cut of up to 20,000 cubic metres. The community forest is in the 100 Mile House Timber Supply Area and the agreement has an initial term of 25 years. A community forest is a forestry operation managed by a local government, community group or First Nation for the benefit of the entire community. Community forest agreements are long-term, area-based tenures designed to encourage community involvement in, and management of, local forests. Community forests are great way to make more timber available, while diversifying British Columbia’s forest sector and create local employment opportunities, says Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations Minister of Steve Thomson. “Getting a community forest is really important to the area. Harvesting from a community forest can support locally determined objectives and interests, such as infrastructure upgrades, volunteer group projects and grants to community groups,” says Clinton Mayor Jim Rivett. Community forests provide local jobs and give rural communities a stronger, more diverse economic base, CaribooChilcotin MLA Donna Barnett notes. She adds this new community forest agreement means sustainable employment for people in Clinton and creates long-term opportunities for collaboration between the Village of Clinton and local First Nations. “We congratulate Clinton on its Community Forest Agreement award,” says Community Forest Association president Don Brown. “Clinton has been a member of the BC Community Forest Association since it first received the invitation to apply, and we look forward to working with [the village] as it implements its plans to maximize the social, environmental, cultural and economic benefits that these tenures provide.”

Visit Royalty at Victorian G N O L Royal Tea in Barkerville WEDEEKAELNSD
On Victoria Day (May 19), visitors to Barkerville Historic Town are invited to enjoy Royal Tea with Royalty, as Queen Victoria visits the world-famous Wake Up Jake Restaurant. In addition to the classic English warm-steeped beverage, delectable treats worthy of the Queen will be on offer, along with the opportunity to interact with Her Majesty, who will delightfully engage with her royal subjects in two official sittings. Patrons will have the opportunity to enjoy one-on-one audiences with Queen Victoria and her Scottish consort, John Brown, as well as British Columbia’s Chief Justice, Matthew Baillie Begbie. Red Serge-clad members of the Royal Constabulary are expected to be in attendance to keep the peace and ensure the safety of the Monarch of Great Britain and Ireland, also known as the Empress of India. The Queen, who celebrates her birthday on May 24, is reported to be in a remarkable state of fitness and vigour, especially considering her advanced age of 195. When reached for a statement, Her Imperial Majesty Queen Empress indicated she was “very much looking forward to her annual visit to Barkerville. While I often eschew excessive pomp and ceremony, my birthday celebration, coming as it does near the outset of each new season, is an event that I cherish, especially as it gives me the opportunity to hear the desires and concerns of the citizens of the Colony.” There are two official sittings at the Wake Up Jake Restaurant for the Royal Tea – at 1 p.m. and 3 p.m. Tickets for the event can be purchased at the Visitor’s Reception Centre upon entry into
Barkerville Historic Town. Barkerville opened for the new season on May 15 with an all-new street interpretation program, along with expanded mining dis-
courses that describe the workings involved with hydraulic mining in Barkerville. Visitors will also, for the first time since 1864, have the opportunity to meet Billy

A long mane of curly locks will soon hit the deck to raise funds for cancer research. Dr. John Atkinson will have his head shaved at 5:30 p.m. on May 26 at Lakeland Veterinary Clinic, where donations for the Canadian Cancer Society are now being collected. Free chili and buns will be provided and further donations accepted at the Shave My Head for Cancer event at #3, 150 Horse Lake

Plus, I’m going touched by cancer at some point. “I recently lost a friend
camping [beforehand] and I don’t want a mosquito head either.” The veterinarian has four dogs now, but lost his previous two beloved canines to cancer, and says he often treats pets with cancer, some of which cannot be saved. Atkinson says nobody is going to get near his beard with any trimmers – it will stay untouched.
