Firefighter news
The 70 Mile House Volunteer Fire Department practices were held on Sundays, but were changed to Tuesdays in an attempt to attract more volunteers.
However most found that Sunday was better, so the practices were moved back to Sunday.
The next practice date is scheduled for Dec. 22 at 10:30 a.m. at the fire hall on Willow Road.
Residents are reminded fire dues are payable and can be sent to Box 95, 70 Mile House, V0K 2K0. Dues are $50 for residential and $75 business.
