Next expect the Serria Club to be making a presentation to have a motion to declare the Fraser and Nechako a non-motorized park.

After all you can't get closer than 164 feet to the top of bank to save the fishes, so how can anyone be allowed on the water?

The Fraser has all ready been declared a World Heritage River, and that is the same route the Tatashien went.

It is amazing how many feel that tax payers should pay for there entertainment.
More amazed at how many on city council agree.

Gofaster, I doubt the boater had any choice about what they had to do. At least they have access to the river now.

It's too bad the city had to spend more than $80,000 for the MultiPlex or the UNBC Sport Center or the (building beside the Legion whatever it's called) etc. Best bang for the buck the city has done for a while.

Why not put the $$ towards getting the Cameron Street bridge back?
