Simpson will make some waves. The next four years should be interesting to say the least. He’ll have his work cut out persuading this council to work together as there are some factions in the mix. Here’s hoping they can forget their differences and pull together for the benefit of Quesnel.

Simpson will be a strong leader for Quesnel and the best choice for them in the difficult years they have ahead with the downsizing in forestry.
Good move for Quesnel!
Congrats Bob on your new appointment as Mayor of Quesnel! Best of luck over the next 4 years.
Congrats Bob.
Very happy for Bob Simpson. Congratulations Bob
