Mayor’s Report
Thanks to Luke Middleton for bringing the Allan Cup to Hudson’s Hope. The Allan Cup is the trophy awarded to the national senior amateur men’s hockey champions. The children very much enjoyed the chance to see and hear about the history of this trophy that has been around since 1908.
T
his month there are many people who should be mentioned for their hard work and help in showcasing Hudson’s Hope. Any event that is held in this community is a benefit to our tourism and local economy. Thank-you to all the volunteers who succeeded in making the Fishing Derby, Ball Tournament, Strawberry Festival and High School Rodeo successful. These events bring people and dollars into our community.
Guess who is 99 years old this month, yes, Ethel Rutledge. Happy Birthday to a wonderful lady. It was so great to see Ethel and Beth Ardill at the Strawberry Festival. I am reminded of the saying “And in the end, it's not the years in your life that count. It's the life in your years”. I am sure this saying was made just for Ethel and Beth.
Congratulations to Jake Watson and Hayden Huxley who won their events in the Provincial High School Rodeo held in Merritt BC early this month. They will now represent BC in the National High School Rodeo to be held in Gillette, Wyoming in mid July. Kyla Fettes and Kayla Gonwick also won the right to participate in the Merritt rodeo, although they didn’t place in the top three, they had good rides. Due to a broken ankle, Ricky Warren was unable to ride but he had an excellent year. July 2010
Council has had one workshop relating to the proposed Site C dam and will continue to follow the progress of this project. Council is committed to making the negotiations as transparent as possible and will only accept what is positive for our community’s well-being and future. 1
