City might lose CRD’s business Angie Mindus Cariboo Advisor The rift between City Hall and the Cariboo Regional District has fringe fire protection residents considering their options; including taking legal action or dumping the City’s service altogether. Residents who spoke or asked questions at a well attended public meeting held last week at the Gibraltar Room for CRD residents living in the fire protection fringe, were clearly upset with the politicians at City Hall. “If you know people living in the City, get on the phone and tell them what a bunch of incompetent people they have representing them,” said one man. Another cited “greed” as the reason the City backed out on a written agreement to provide the residents fire protection service (still at a rate much higher than city residents) just days before Christmas. “They’re losing the mill, and they’re losing (other businesses) and they want us to pay for their overpriced fire hall.” One man said since he moved here eight years ago he feels the City has lost its “spirit of community,” something that clearly remains very strong among rural residents and their representatives, whom the audience thanked for their hard work and support. Other meeting goers said the CRD Tracy Dunlop photo should fight the City “tooth and nail” Author Victoria Greenley and illustrator Raylene Hale of the new children's book "I Don't Like My Grumpy Face!" sign copies of their book at the Cariboo Regional District Library, Williams Lake Branch, Saturday as part of the celebrations to kick off See CRD on Page 2 Literacy Week.
