With all shapes, sizes and textures of cloud formations and shimmering colours ranging and changing from pale blues to soft and brilliant pinks, to rolling crimson and a deep blood red at sunset, the skies over Williams Lake were a thrill to watch at sunset Tuesday evening delivering one of the most amazingly artistic spectacles that mother nature can deliver.

City responds to rural fire protection inquiries The City of Williams Lake has received numerous inquiries from both city and rural residents about continuation of rural fire protection services after Jan. 1, 2013. “The process of finding an equitable solution to rural fire protection services has been a complex and challenging one. Negotiations with the Cariboo Regional District were difficult

and inconclusive,” the city stated in a press release issued Thursday morning. “There was extensive deliberation and debate by council, and decisions were not unanimous. “Consistent among all members of council was the intent to continue the service, and ensure residents were not without fire protection.” The city made an offer to the

CRD within the bounds of the costs outlined in the referendum question, which the CRD did not accept. This left the city unable to offer the service without an agreement in place, due to significant insurance concerns and liability risk. The Dec. 21 Supreme Court of B.C. injunction allows the service to continue to April 30 without a long-term agreement.

“The city’s relationship with the Cariboo Regional District is very important, and we want to have a positive, constructive one,” says Mayor Kerry Cook. “The city and CRD have important business to do together, and the city is committed to find ways to do that business in a respectful manner. “I’m confident that it can happen on this issue as well.”
