Good luck guys wish you all the best

Yeah, something fishy went on there. Don’t know why all the other areas in the regional district there were excused from the voting. They too will recieve the benefits of it if it does go through.

Why do they alone get to help pay for it?

I never knew that Give more. Like theres a area A through E that won’t be paying?

This article is vague on details of the concerns, i.e. what are the concerns?

Corruption in politics knows no bounds. It seems as soon as a person gets into power, however little it may be, it goes to their head.

I wish these citizens all the best in their efforts to have their concerns heard and dealt with.

I don’t think a couple of hundred dollars a year for pool to better the comunittee is an emergency.

bentely, I don’t think it’s the amount as much as the methodology.

I am just as upset if someone steals $20.00 from me as $100.00. They robbed me and I would want justice.

These people feel they were robbed of due process and have a legitimate grievance.

The pool probable will be used by Ft St James and Fraser Lake taxpayers but their tax base wasn’t included. First Nations had a vote – they don’t pay taxes !!!! So many things just don’t make sense at all.

Some mayors think they have all the answers and need a kick to put them in line. If it is defeated you can bet they will be back with a new proposal a few months later and they will eventually wear you down.

That is the largest problem with the city council / city hall system. There is never a full defeat, they can bring things back over and over until they finally pass. But once passed that is it – you are stuck with it

The pool has never been an issue every community is entitled to have facilities that their community can afford and pay to upkeep and maintain for the next 30 years.
The people of some of the outlying Areas will get to use it and pay for it every time they go through the door. But to expect people that live 70 KM from there place at Bobtail or Cluculz Lake to pay for it is an issue and how they were included in this referendum when we had been excluded when the Rec Centre and Library referendums were held and when a referendum was held for a Fire Hall upgrade at Cluculz Lake only part of Area F was included. Other Areas in the Regional District surrounding Vanderhoof were left out of the vote. If the Tax base had included the other areas around Vanderhoof who would actually get use of this facility from Fraser Lake and Ft St James and area C and D the taxes that Area F Lake areas would not be getting stuck with a bill that we get to pass on to our Children and there Children when we dye.
How the voting was structured to get this passed made a fair vote impossible.
I hope that all those that think its fair would send a Cheque to the Cluculz Lake Community centre to help rebuild it as sometime in your life you or your Children would get a chance to use it because the tax base at the lake can only afford so much no matter how Rich you think we are.
Many folks built cabins or retirement homes on the Lake that they will have to sell because of the added taxes and values. They were built for family to enjoy each other at not regret having.

Seems abit crazy how vanderhoof orchestratred this. People voting that don’t pay taxes and people that pay taxes not allowed to vote. What’s up with that??? They did not include fort Fraser or Fraser Lake because last time they came back with a no vote. And why can renters vote on a long term debt when they could potentially be gone tomorrow. They have really sucked in the residents of vanderhoof. Talk to the people of Houston, talk to the people of quesnel. Pool is so very costly
