Grant to kick start water treatment By Lachlan Labere MARKET NEWS STAFF
The B.C. government has approved a $50,000 grant for the District of Sicamous to begin the effort to upgrade the community’s water supply.
Bill Bennett, the province’s minister of Community, Sport and Cultural Development, was in Sicamous Oct. 17 to make the announcement – following through on a commitment made by Premier Christy Clark at the recent Union of BC Munici-
palities convention. “I want you to know… Bill has asked me to make sure we set this right. I know you need that water supply fixed, and we are going to help you do it,” Clark stated in her speech to UBCM delegates.
While in Sicamous, Bennett was escorted by Mayor Darrell Trouton on a tour of the community and areas impacted by the June 23 debris flow in Two Mile. See Money on page 3
