Prince George, B.C.- If there is to be a cemetery built in the Lakes District, it will have to go to a referendum.
The Regional District of Fraser Fort George held an alternate approval process to borrow the $33 thousand dollars needed to build the cemetery. That money would have been repaid through a special levy for tax payers in that electoral area.
The alternate approval process needed signatures from 187 eligible voters from the electoral area to stop the automatic borrowing. The final count showed 207 signatures had been collected.
That means, if the Regional District wants to move forward on this idea, it will have to hold a referendum. That is a decision the Regional District of Fraser Fort George will make later today at its regular monthly meeting.
