Beverly Fry passed the torch to Kaylee Billyboy of Williams Lake during the 2015 Canada Winter Games Torch Relay in Quesnel. It will be at least 26 years before the torch returns to British Columbia.

Lac la Hache resident Bev Fry was one of the torch bearers for the 2015 Canada Winter Games, which will be held in Prince George from Feb. 13 to March 1.

Fry was chosen to carry the torch in the Quesnel leg of the relay on Jan. 17, as part of the relay.

"It was a wonderful experience; this will be a lifelong memory and something I will not ever forget," says Fry.

She was very thankful to be nominated by family and friends.

“I think of all the wonderful friends and people who have touched my life over the years and the relationships we have formed through our children, volunteering, community events, activities and sport.

LLHVFD news

On Jan. 4, the Lac la Hache Volunteer Fire Department (LLHVFD) got a call from the BC Ambulance Services for a lift assist because there was so much snow the long driveway to the home was inaccessible for the ambulance.

The LLHVFD put the call out for someone to plow the road and Terry Barton (not a firefighter) came out immediately and quickly plowed the driveway so the emergency response personnel could get to the patient.

“Mr. Barton responded well to our request and provided excellent service to our department and the community. We thank him for his assistance,” said deputy fire chief Roger Hollander.
