Cariboo Regional District Wins Court Injunction

Friday, December 21, 2012 @ 3:57 PM

Williams Lake, B.C.- The Cariboo Regional District has won its court injunction against the City of Williams Lake. 

The CRD had filed for a court injunction requiring the City of Williams Lake to honour its pre-referendum offer to provide fire protection services to fringe area residents and to ensure that those services could not be terminated. 

The terms of the injunction require the City of Williams Lake to continue to provide uninterrupted fire protection services to Williams Lake fringe area residents into 2013 for 120 days, and at a rate based on the original agreement offered to the CRD and upon which the referendum was conducted.
 
The CRD says  it welcomes the news, but a long-term resolution is still required.  Williams Lake fringe residents are reminded of a public meeting which has been scheduled for Thursday, Jan. 17, at 6:30 p.m. in the Gibraltar Room. This meeting will provide affected residents with an opportunity to learn about any options the CRD may be considering and to provide any feedback they may have as to how they wish the CRD to proceed on their behalf.
