Dear Canimites,
As mud season descends, bluebirds flit along the ranch land fence lines, swans and cranes call from the lake’s edge, and the Mahood mallards muster. Spring has sprung.
Simkins presentation
Judy Simkins of Life Cycle Financial gave a presentation to the Canim Lake Community Club at Margo’s Cabin.
People found her engaging and very knowledgeable in her field and the presentation informative and useful. Judy focused on issues important to seniors, including available government benefits and taxation rules.
She also answered questions. Everyone who heard her seems to have learned something new and useful.
Thanks to Yvette Stark for organizing the speaker series through the winter.
Grow-op meeting
The Cariboo Regional District is considering a bylaw that would allow large scale medical grow-ops only on land zoned “heavy industrial.”
CRD Area H Director Margo Wagner is encouraging residents to attend a meeting on the proposed bylaw on April 28 at 7 p.m. in the Forest Grove Community Hall. She anticipates a good discussion of the issues surrounding large medical grow-ops, and a chance for residents to ask questions and air their views.
