‘Amazing year’ for local Crime Stoppers

Every one of the volunteers deserves a piece of it. It’s a dedicated

Summit Brooke Construction recently handed over the new 100 Mile House RCMP detachment facility for local police to prepare for their impending move. Site superintendent Dan Norris says he has been stationed all across Canada, and 100 Mile House has been “by far the best place” he has worked for its people, local food, and outdoor activities. “The RCMP have played a huge role, in helping out every chance.

McLean have very much been an integral part of this project, putting their two bits in where it counts.” The company, as always, has strived to give back to the community through hiring local trades, shopping local and hiring local wherever it could, he explains. Norris credits much to his steadfast employees, but says his hat also goes off to the sub trades that stepped up when things got down to the wire, and to all the local suppliers and their helpful staff.

Adopting a pet? Consider an adult cat instead of a kitten. There are always healthy, loving adult cats looking for homes. Most people, initially think of adopting a kitten but sadly this leaves the adult cats that need a new home waiting a long time. Adult cats make wonderful pets if someone would just give them a chance!! VIEW ANIMALS AT: www.spca.bc.ca/100milehouse
