Reporting on the activities at Lac des Roches began during a time when the community was receiving extensive publicity.
A massive residential development proposal on the lake had ignited the spirits of the residents, and interest in the initiatives undertaken by the Friends of Lac des Roches and Birch Lake Society was widespread.
Since the shelving of the project, the community has returned to its previous calm state to the relief of many of its residents.
While there is no shortage of interesting activities for the residents of this semi-wilderness area that have been enjoyed by the readers for several years, the issues facing the residents are relatively the same as those reported by the 100 Mile House Free Press for other areas within the South Cariboo.
For this reason, it seems timely to discontinue the regular Lac des Roches community column.
Stewardship activities will continue to be updated on the society’s website www.lacdesroches.org.
