Williams Lake, B.C.- The Cariboo Regional District  will be hosting a series of informal community forums in the South, Central and North Cariboo over the next couple of weeks, and is bringing together  other agencies  to  discuss issues as they pertain to  each community.

In addition to Electoral Area Directors and CRD staff,  reps from  the Ministry of Transportation, the Cariboo Fire Centre, RCMP  and  BC  Emergency Health Services will be  on hand at the sessions to answer  questions from residents.

“We have developed this new public engagement process in an effort to meet the needs of our residents,” states CRD Chair Al Richmond. “At our former Town Hall Meetings we were frequently asked questions that would have been best answered by the agencies who deal with the specific issues. By bringing these agencies together, we have created a one-stop shop for residents who can visit each booth to speak directly with the appropriate agency.
