Noting a “great weekend” Billy Barker Days president Maureen Murray praised the volunteers “who make it possible.” “Without them and our sponsors, this event wouldn’t happen,” she said. Murray also noted enhanced police presence. RCMP made a special effort this year to increase their presence during the festival. “Numerous people commented throughout the weekend they appreciated the police presence,” an RCMP press release states. Between Thursday, July 16 and Sunday, July 19, RCMP investigated a total of 183 files. That number is down from the 231 investigated during the same time period last year. However, this year 89 people were held in custody, which is an increase from the 72 people that were held last year. “The bulk of those held in custody were for being intoxicated in public. Others were held for incidents ranging from breach of probation to assault,” the release states. RCMP Traffic Services issued 145 violation tickets, as well as: one criminal code impaired arrest, one 12-hour suspension, two 24-hour suspensions, two three-day suspensions, and impounded three vehicles for various reasons. For her part Murray pointed to some events where they noted a decrease in numbers, but highlighted the hot weather. “I think attendance might have been larger at certain events had it not been so hot,” she said. “But all in all the turnout was great.” The Billy Barker Days Society was meeting Thursday evening (after press time) to debrief on each individual event. After that, Murray said, they take August off. “Then we’re back in force planning Billy Barker Days 2016 starting in September,” she said. “Our core group of volunteers are amazing. “It was a laid-back atmosphere. Truly family friendly.”

Council bids farewell to RCMP members
On behalf of the City, Mayor Simpson bid a fond farewell to outgoing RCMP members Staff Sergeant Steve Vroylk and Constable Krysta Vroylk who have proudly served our community for the last six years. Although not new to our community, Mayor Simpson introduced and welcomed Staff Sergeant Andrew Burton who will now replace Mr. Vroylk as Quesnel’s Detachment Commander.
Hope Air Hope Air is a non-profit organization that assists people with free medical flights. In 2014, 23 Quesnel residents were the recipients of 113 free medical flights totaling $23,000. Hope Air would like to raise awareness in Quesnel as well as ask for the community’s assistance in raising funds to assist local residents further. All funds raised locally stay local. Local area residents, Terry and Lynn Worden, Hope Air Ambassadors, have started a local campaign to raise funds to assist area residents with medical flights.

for more information. Pay Parking - North Cariboo Community Campus In light of the decision by the Board of Directors for the College of New Caledonia to implement payparking at the community’s North Cariboo Community Campus, Council passed a resolution to reiterate its strong opposition to this initiative.
Temporary physician housing In an attempt to avoid curtailment of emergency room services at G.R. Baker Memorial Hospital from July to October 2015, Council passed a resolution to allocate $4,800 from the “Council Committees” budget to cover lease payments for two relief physicians. One physician arrived this month and the remaining physician is scheduled to arrive in August 2015. Quesnel’s doctor shortage is being proactively managed by the Primary Care Committee comprised of the Hospital’s Chief of Staff, Hospital Administrator, MLA’s office, Hospital District Board Chair/Cariboo Regional District Director and Quesnel’s Mayor.
Partnerships
On behalf of the City, Council wanted to express their appreciation and recognize the good deeds being carried out in our community by local companies and groups. Tolko Industries donated materials and their employees’ time to rebuild and replace ball diamond bleachers at both Rotary Ball Park and Cariboo Field. Regency Chrysler donated two insured vehicles for the two locum doctors that will fill-in at the Hospital’s Emergency Room this summer/fall. Seasons House staff worked above and beyond to relocate two tenants who previously resided in the “Brown Cabins” allowing the City to carry-out the Remediation Order of this property. West Fraser donated plywood and lumber to rebuild the tennis practise wall and add netting to wind-proof the tennis fencing at West Fraser Timber Park.
Action update The Remedial Order has been completed in full with the demolition of the “Brown Cabins”, located at 371 Lewis Drive. Seasons House was able to relocate the two tenants who previously resided at this proper-
ty. Final cost of this demolition is yet to be determined, but is estimated at $53,725. The property owner will be invoiced for the full amount of the demolition and any outstanding balance will be applied to the property’s municipal tax bill. The “Brown Cabins” were in a state that posed significant risk to health and well-being of the public. Demolition materials were treated as hazardous, were removed and disposed of in accordance with WorkSafe BC’s hazardous material guidelines.

T
he citizens of the Netherlands love Canadians and not because we’re the funloving, polite, democratic people that we are. They love us because more than 7,600 Canadian soldiers died liberating Holland from the Germans during the last year of World War 2. And the Dutch will never forget this sacrifice to save their country. When they find out you are from Canada, they make an extra effort to reach out to you, like the older couple who went out of their way after dinner one night to thank a crew of Canadian history teachers on a study tour of their country. Now in their 70’s, they are too young to have experienced the Hunger Winter, the harsh treatment at the
hands of the Nazis and the rounding up and transfer of Jews and other “undesirables” from their neighbourhoods, but they have been taught about it all. And they know their country owes its freedom to Canadian soldiers. Above all, they understand the collective national sense of relief that occurred when the Canadian army fought its way across the polders, canals, rivers, villages and cities that make up the Netherlands, chasing the Nazis back to Germany. Suffice to say, they were grateful that they had an opportunity to personally thank Canadians. Naturally, we felt taken aback because this small group of history teachers didn’t do the fighting; we were studying the people who did, the average
Canadian soldier who came from places like Quesnel. Men like John Miller, Stanley Miller, James Myhon, Alex Robertson, Charles Purmal and Leonard Harper, all of whom died liberating the Netherlands from the Nazis. These fellows were leading normal lives, some were married and some not, some were younger than 20 and some were over 30 and they all decided that fighting fascism was the most important thing in their lives. These men were part of the Canadian army which became known as the Cinderella Army, the Little Army That Could and the Sharp End of the Sword, because it had a reputation for being the best fighting force on the Allied side.
Often under-equipped and under-supported, the Canadians continually took on (were given!) the toughest challenges in the war and the Netherlands was no different. From the Breskens Pocket to the battle of the Scheldt to the battle for the Rhineland, Canadian soldiers punched above their weight class and often in the most strenuous situations. It is no wonder then our soldiers incurred the highest casualty rate in the war among the Allied forces. Studying history makes one appreciate the peace and comfort in our own lives. Studying war makes it even more so. There is no way to really understand what these men went through saving the world from the Nazi menace because words can
never replace experience. So when the Dutch people thank Canada every April and May, they are doing so from the experience of knowing there was hope in the sacrifice of the Canadian soldier who died so that they could live in peace and prosperity. And for that, I say thank you as well; and, we will remember. For more information on the Netherlands study tour of Canadian battlefields and cemeteries visit this we bsite:warandthecanadiane xperience.weebly.com/ I also hope to conduct a public presentation closer to Remembrance Day to explore in more detail the Canadian war experience in the Netherlands and now extend an invitation for you to join me then. Thanks. – Submitted by Fred Rogger

Province gives green light to Petronas LNG TOM FLETCHER Black Press
The B.C. government has passed legislation setting tax rates in a 25-year project development deal for what the government hopes is the first of a series of liquefied natural gas export facilities. Premier Christy Clark invited Prince Rupert Mayor Lee Brain and Port Edward Mayor Dave MacDonald to the legislature for a brief celebration Tuesday, as debate wound down on a rare summer session of the B.C. legislature. Brain, a rookie mayor at age 29 and fourth generation Prince Rupert resident, said the prospect of economic recovery is welcome for the struggling community of 14,500
people. “When I was in high school we lost three major industries all at the same time in our town,” Brain said. “We lost our forest industry, our fishing industry and our mill. I lost a lot of friends, we lost half our population and ever since it’s been a struggle for our community to get back on track.” Clark said the project development agreement with Petronas-led Pacific Northwest LNG for the Port of Prince Rupert is complete from the government’s standpoint. She ruled out any further exemptions to the provincial sales tax that applies to investments in plant and pipelines that could reach $36 billion. “We aren’t
considering changing the way the PST is treated for this or any other projects,” Clark said, responding to comments by David Keane, president of the B.C. LNG Alliance. Keane questioned the suggestion that LNG investors are getting a discount for investing in B.C. “This is the only regime where we have to pay a special LNG tax,” Keane told reporters in Victoria last week. “It’s the only jurisdiction where we have to pay a carbon tax, and we also have to buy carbon offsets to get down to our greenhouse gas target that was legislated last year. “And in addition to that, we’re also going to be paying PST, GST, payroll taxes, municipal taxes, and corporate income

Ombudsperson to review drug researcher firings TOM FLETCHER Black Press
B.C.’s new Ombudsperson has been given extra authority to investigate the case of eight ministry of health researchers whose work on drug effectiveness was terminated three years ago. The B.C. government passed amendments Tuesday to allow Ombudsperson Jay Chalke to review the case that has had the government on the defensive since the abrupt dismissal of university researchers in 2012. The researchers were assessing drugs for eligibility under the province’s Pharmacare program. The health ministry initially said a confidential database of B.C. patients who had taken various drugs had been misused, and some of the researchers appeared to have
conflicts of interest. One fired contractor committed suicide, another is suing the government for wrongful dismissal and the remainder have been paid confidential settlements and reinstated. The government has since apologized for the way the contractors were treated, but reasons for the firings and why they were reversed have not been made clear. Chalke, a former public trustee appointed Ombudsperson this spring, said he would take the case if confidentiality agreements didn’t prevent him from reviewing documents and getting answers from those involved. Attorney General Suzanne Anton presented changes to the Ombudsperson Act to exempt the office from confidentiality agreements for this case, and the changes

Could you shoot the cubs?
I
f it was your job to shoot two adorable-looking bear cubs, could you do it? Should it be anyone’s job to shoot bear cubs? And once they are given names, is it even remotely possible they could be coldly shot to death? Jordan and Athena are five months old. They are currently under the expert care of the talented and loving staff at the North Island Wildlife Recovery Centre in Errington. They are worldwide media stars, thanks to the compassionate act of a conservation officer. Winnie and Yogi, step aside. A B.C. conservation officer was suspended without pay for failing to euthanize these cubs in Port Hardy. Their mother had been killed after repeatedly breaking into a freezer containing meat and salmon. The bears came looking for their mom and that’s when Bryce Casavant refused the order he was given to shoot and kill the cubs. Many are calling Casavant a hero. The CO also received praise from many people around the province and country. Should the CO keep his job? He declined to do something he was asked to do by a superior. He didn’t follow orders, essentially. Surely it’s OK not to follow an order one believes is immoral, is it not? Or perhaps you believe he should look for another line of work. –BP
Please take them with you I drove my kids to the corner store a few days ago and as they ran in with their friends I shut the engine off. In less than a minute I could feel the inside of my truck rapidly heating up, but rather than turn on the air conditioning so I could cool down, I decided to see how long I could tolerate the extreme heat. I’d recently seen some social experiment videos in which people tested their endurance in a hot car and I was curious to feel it for myself. With the temperature at 90 degrees outside, how much would it rise with the doors closed and the windows rolled up? How long would I be able to hack it? By the time the kids returned close to eight minutes later I was drenched with sweat and felt like I’d been cooking in an oven. I had no idea how hot it had become, but after reading that a car can heat up to 125 degrees within minutes, I believe that probably wasn’t far off. When we consider the core temperature of an infant or young child can increase three to five times faster than that of an adult, it’s not surprising that over 700 of them have died

On a Brighter Note from vehicular heatstroke since 1990. According to the nonprofit safety group Kids and Cars, 38 deaths per year is the new average, and that’s just in the U.S. Statistics such as these are unavailable in Canada. “He was asleep,” one of my friends explained about leaving her own toddler in the back seat when she ran into Starbucks. “And I was only going to be minute or two.” But the decision she thought was harmless because she’d parked out front and could see her car from the counter, turned into a regret she’ll never repeat. “My order took longer that I expected,” she said. “By the time she returned, her baby was crying and there were two concerned strangers trying to open her doors, angry she’d left him in there, and about to call 911. At first she was defensive
a dog. If you see a helpless person or animal in a hot car, remember that every second counts. Call 911, have someone report the name, model and license plate of the vehicle to the nearest business and don’t leave the scene until the situation’s resolved. If the parent or authorities are too slow to arrive and a life appears to be in imminent danger, find a witness who agrees and take steps to remove them from the hot car. Depending on the city, attempting a rescue such as this could lead to charges being laid - especially in the case of a broken window but saving a life would be worth that risk to most of us. Once they’re out, move them to an air-conditioned space if possible, give them non-ice water to drink and cool them down with. Even on a day with milder temperatures and the windows cracked, a car can heat up exceedingly fast. Vehicular heatstroke fatalities have occurred with outside temperatures as low as 60 degrees, so always take them with you. Or if they’re a pet, leave them safe at home.

and thought they were overreacting, but with her boiling hot two year old out of his car seat and in her arms sobbing she felt both mortified and grateful that her child was still conscious. People can have a terrible sense of how long it takes to do things and it only takes minutes in an overheated car for a child to suffer irreversible brain or kidney injuries. When body temperatures reach 104 degrees, internal organs can shut down, and at 107 degrees children can die. This doesn’t just happen to children left unattended by parents imagining they’ll be a brief moment either. It also happens to little ones who’ve been temporarily forgotten. Medical experts caution us not to think it can’t happen to us and recommend leaving a shoe, wallet, phone or something we’ll need to retrieve from the backseat as a full-proof reminder of the child. Leaving anyone in a vehicle who’s unable to open the door and remove themselves should never be done. And that advice applies to man’s best friend as well. Canines don’t sweat and have no way of cooling themselves, so an over heated vehicle can easily kill

Child water safety T
he most recent columns in this series have focused on the differences between, and uses of, lifejackets and personal flotation devices, and the fact that Canadian law requires every vessel – commercial and recreational – to have one properly fitting flotation device for every person. Regrettably, that law is actually toothless since this no legal requirement that people actually use them! We are, again regrettably, simply trusting that common sense will prevail. Relevant to this discussion is the matter of child safety. Let’s begin by stating emphatically that nothing is more important when children are on, in, or near water than adult supervision. Let us also be clear that inflatable toys like water wings and blow-up rings are not safety devices. Young children and weak swimmers should definitely wear lifejackets whenever they are in the proximity of open water. You can choose either a lifejacket or a PFD for your child, as long as it is designed for children. As well, ensure that it is a device approved by Transport Canada, Canadian Coast Guard, or Fisheries and Oceans Canada. Make sure it is labelled for your child’s weight and that it has the majority of these safety features: a grab strap attached to a large collar or head support; neck ties and ties at the waist with a drawstring or elastic gathers at the front and back; a safety strap between the legs that will help ensure the device can’t slip up over their head; buckles on safety straps; reflective tape on both shoulders, front and back. And, if it doesn’t have one, attach a non-metallic pealess

whistle. To be sure it is the proper size, have them put it on before purchase and/or before each season of use. It should fit snugly, and when you lift on the grab strap it should not leave a gap of more 7.5cm between the child’s shoulders and the device. When it comes to infants, you may find “infant-sized” lifejackets in the marketplace, but be advised there are presently no Canadian safety standards or Canadian-approved devices for infants who weigh less than nine kilograms. It is recommended that you wait until the child reaches this weight and can fit into a Canadian-approved lifejacket before taking him/her on a boat. In all instances – whether infant, child or adult – a flotation device that is too big or in any other way does not fit properly, could do more harm than good. Of course anything that will keep you afloat is better than nothing at all... a log, an empty water or fuel container, the hull of your capsized boat, and, yes, even that PFD you neglected to put on, could make the difference between survival and, well … the other option. But, the simple reality is that, should you unexpectedly end up in the water, there is nothing – absolutely nothing – that will give you a better chance than wearing your flotation device. The Quesnel Power and Sail Squadron is proud to promote Boating and Water Safety. Please support our efforts by encouraging your friends and family to always be water-safe.

And they’re off, the junior race didn’t disappoint. Contributed photos
QMA riders taking the podium at first provincial cup Quesnel Motocross Association hosted round one of the first provincial cup in B.C during Billy Barker Days with 187 gate entries. Local racer’s were out in all ages to keep a lot of the talent on the podium. The smallest bikes came out with the biggest numbers with 22 50cc racers in the starting gates Blake Neville raced in the 4 – 6 year olds in the 50cc class taking second over all with Kasey Fralick not far behind taking fourth. The 65cc class also kept hardware in town with the 7 – 9 year olds, Adam Smith rode a consistent race taking home third place in his first year of racing. Eleven-year-year old Dayne Cutrell and young 15-yearold lady racer Kassee
Morrison stepped it up this year from the 85cc to a 250 four stroke and had some tough competition in the Jr. B class with Cutrell taking a third and Morrison taking fourth. Eight racers competed in the Ladies class with Pro racer Sara King from Ft. St. James taking first with local racer Kassee Morrisson taking third for the Ladies. Beginner class Caleb McRae gave it his best as a new racer from Quesnel finishing in 3rd. Jordon Brear’s took it to the next level opening his season with a huge win in Jr MX3 taking a first in both his moto’s with Jared Lucas not far behind taking 3rd. The Intermediate MX2 Class brought their very best to the table with two local
bcma competitors, Colton Shepherd having his best ride of the season and Jackson Nickolet bringing the action to the track. Moto 1 gave Shepherd a second place finish and fourth in the afternoon for a third overall. For Nickolet the morning brought several challenges but came back in the afternoon to finish first, giving him second over all. Full Throttle’s Brad Dunn also showed how it was done in the 40Plus class taking home a 1st overall and 2nd in the Vet Masters. Brian Watson not far behind Dunn in the 40 Plus took home second and Scott Davis a fourth. Davis also competed in the Vet Jr class along with Darren Swaan with Davis
in first and Swaan a third place finish. The big highlight of the weekend was the Pro class with pro racer Brock Hoyer from Williams Lake and other pros from across B.C put the real speed and power to the dirt. Intermediate racers Jackson Nickolet and Colton Shepherd entered the pro class to compete for a piece of the Outback Pro Purse. Nickolet finished third in the morning behind Hoyer and Lockhart but then beating pro racer Ryan Lockhard in the afternoon taking a second overall and Shepherd also taking over the pros in the morning with a fourth but later in the afternoon was hit in mid air causing carnage putting him back to seventh to end up
with a fifth overall. Both Shepherd and Nickolet took home part of the Outback sponsored
Pro Purse. Both Shepherd and Nickolet will be persuing the Championship Cup
in Campbell River for round two in two weeks. –Submitted by Gerri Shepherd

LIFESTYLES
Let us know
SkyFest 2015, bigger and better Things you should know about the airshow ANNIE GALLANT Observer Reporter With SkyFest 2015 just days away, the Observer caught up with Barb van Halderen and chatted about some of the key elements of Quesnel’s International Airshow. As was evident at the 2013 SkyFest, arriving early was the key to avoiding the long highway lineups and the subsequent slow progress into the airport. Also with your tickets already purchased, you will move quicker through the lineup. With crowds expected to be bigger this year, ensuring everyone has the quality experience is paramount with all the organizers and volunteers. On Saturday and Sunday, gates open at 8 a.m. and the pre-show aerobatics begin at 10 a.m. Opening ceremonies start at 11:35 a.m. and the show wraps up about 4:15 p.m. For the kids in the crowd, the Kidz Zone is expanded to include wet inflatables so
a new feature at other airshows as the word gets around. A word on safety. “Public safety is top of the list from the performance point of view,” Barb said. “The performers are kept strictly within the aerobatic box (called the hot box) which is marked so pilots can see it which keeps them specific distances from spectators. That includes any public roads which fall within the box. That’s why there will be a road closure on the Quesnel Hixon Road while the military jets are flying.” As for spectator safety and wellness on the ground, organizers have tried their best to account for any issues people may have. Throughout the grounds, volunteers in light blue T-shirts are knowledgeable and ready to answer any questions or direct people as required. “There are misting stations for heat relief and first responders are on site with
Barb van Halderen parents, your children could get wet (lets say they will get wet.) Another addition, and SkyFest 2015 is the only airshow to offer this exclusive opportunity, is the Orange Zone. In a fenced off area civilian performance aircraft will be moved in, accompanied by their pilots. Spectators can get up close and personal for pictures and conversation with the pilots and their planes. Expect this to become
radio contact,” Barb said. On the grounds, several food vendors will offer a wide variety of food and drink. There is also an ATM on site. Both bathrooms and recycle and garbage bins will be plentiful. Everyone appreciates crowds that use the recycle and garbage bins. “Remember any refuge is a potential aircraft hazard, dispose of your waste respectfully,” Barb added. Although it’s been said many times, bringing pets to an airshow is a very bad idea. The shows are loud and can be frightening to pets. Leave them at home where they are comfortable. Smoking is strongly discouraged due to the extreme dry conditions but having said that there will be a designated smoking area, well-removed from the spectator area. Read over the Enjoy the Airshow in the July 29 Observer and familiarize yourself with the dos and don’ts of SkyFest 2015.

Madeline Tasquin returns to her roots in her B.C. 40-day tour ANNIE GALLANT Observer Reporter Madeline Tasquin is returning to her roots in Quesnel for a performance at the Occidental July 29, 8 p.m. followed by a concert in Williams Lake on July 30 then on to performances at ArtsWells, July 31 – Aug. 3. This is part of a 40-day tour through British Columbia with her band the Madeline Tasquin Trading Company which Tasquin expects to be a lot of nostalgia, great musical experiences and a whole lot of new inspiration. “I was born in Quesnel in 1981 and my fondest memories include swimming in the Cottonwood River, the Billy Barker Days celebrations, tobogganing the hill near the rec centre and seeing the northern lights in full colour when I was about six years old,” she reminisced. “We grew up on a farm down on
Longbar Drive, my parents started the Vaughn House Restaurant and I went to French immersion from Grade 1 – 4 at Helen Dixon. We’d spend our summers out at my dad’s placer property near Wells where my mum would teach musical theatre at Island Mountain School of Arts in exchange for tuition for my two younger sisters and myself.” Tasquin admitted with all these memories, it feels more than a little surreal to be heading home to the Cariboo on tour with her band from the San Francisco Bay area. This CanadianCalifornian singer/ songwriter began playing the piano as soon as she could reach the keys and developed her acute sense of harmony by singing on long car trips as a child with her mother and two younger sisters. In her teenagehood, art rock bands played on repeat alongside
classical musical forming Tasquin’s unique appreciation of all things musical. After completing a degree in architecture in Sydney, Australia, she returned to her musical roots and relocated to Berkeley in 2006 and has since added the concert ukulele and guitar to her repertoire, next to her first love, the piano. Tasquin honed her performance skills and tamed her stage fright through four years as the front-woman of the Oakland-based polyrhythmic funk/ rock band Antioquia. She began her solo career in 2011 and released her debut EP Another Trip Around the Sun in 2012. The Madeline Tasquin Trading Company is a recent merger of musical minds featuring Justin Rock (guitar/vocals), Giulio Xavier Cetto (bass/vocals) and Mike “Wolf” Quigg (percussion/vocals). “It’s no accident that I chose the Cariboo

as the northernmost destination for the tour. The Fraser and Quesnel Rivers make their way into a lot of my music and the flora and fauna of the Cariboo have always been a part of my soul, whether I’ve lived in Vancouver or Sydney or San Francisco they continue to haunt me,” she said. “I can’t help but write when I’m in the Cariboo in the summer and this trip will be a particularly special one.” Tickets for the Occidental performance, July 29, are $10 at the door.

T
he recipient of this year’s Big Brothers Big Sisters grade 12 bursary is Mateo Rojas. Congratulations Mateo! Mateo was matched with Big Brother, Mike. Here is Mateo’s testimony: “The Big Brothers Big Sisters foundation has been a huge part of my life and has taught me many life skills. It has been a very beneficial experience. Big Brothers/ Big Sisters When I was three years of Quesnel old I lost my father to SHARING A LITTLE MAGIC stomach cancer and my mom never remarried so I have lived my whole life without a father figure. BBBS has left a huge impact in my life, providing me with the time to grow and nurture a relationship with a man. Before participating in the BBBS program I did not understand what it meant to have a father/big brother so I thought that it would not affect me. But after participating in the program I see that having a big brother makes a world of difference, even in someone who is too young to understand that. Having a big brother taught me morals, values and a lot about acceptance. The way the volunteers loved and accepted everyone unconditionally has been a big influence on the way I treat others. I was taught, regardless of anyone’s situation, we are to respect them and accept them for who they are, no exceptions. In the program I also learned to work well with others, the staff and volunteers provided a great role model for me in the way they dealt with other kids.” Our West Jet ticket raffle kicked off on June 1, please consider purchasing a ticket to win a return flight for two anywhere they fly! We will be selling tickets around the community until October 31, draw date is Nov. 2. Remember every dollar raised stays right here in Quesnel, to support programs for children in our community. Our annual Golf for Kids’ Sake will be held on Sunday, Sept. 13 at Richbar Golf and Gardens. Shotgun start is at 1 p.m. Call for more information, to get a pledge sheet, make a donation, or to register a team. The $75 registration fee includes green fees and dinner. The Renew Crew, clothing donations, is a social enterprise that directly benefits our agency and the children we serve. The blue clothing bins around town (West Park Mall, Walmart, and Little Big House) provide much needed revenue to our agency. The clothing bins are collected by volunteers and brought to our office. Twice a month a cube truck comes and collects the clothing which is then trucked to Kamloops. Value Village pays on a per pound basis, a great way to earn an income and reduce the amount of clothing going into our landfills. Thanks to new partnerships with the Salvation Army and the Reuse it Centre our collection weights continue to increase. Summer is a great time to start a new friendship, stop by our office at 368 Vaughan St. to find out how you could Start Something Big with a child here in Quesnel.
