Solid Waste Management Plan Review 2010
Are you passionate about recycling? Are you interested in where your garbage goes? If so, then you may want to consider volunteering as a member of the Cariboo Regional District’s (CRD) new Solid Waste Advisory Committee.
The CRD is updating its Solid Waste Management Plan for the entire region. This plan provides direction for the types of garbage, recycling and other waste reduction programs we plan to develop over the next ten years. The goal is to create a plan with input from residents and businesses that will meet the needs for managing waste – for the good of our communities, our environment and our pocket books.

Kat-Ali’s Store and Deli on Mackenzie Avenue is a unique blend of neighborhood friendliness, convenience and freshly baked food from scratch. The store is newly renovated, the hours of operation are convenient and customers are a number-one priority.
“This is a true neighborhood store,” said Manager Jan Brown, who has been in retail for 40 years. “We listen to customers and try to meet their needs.”

Approximately 60 people gathered on Saturday for an anti-HST rally in Herb Gardiner Park. Various speakers addressed the crowd, expressing concerns about the Harmonized Sales Tax, which is scheduled to be imposed this July.
The speakers were Eric Freston, Bill Derbyshire and Steve Laidlaw from the Steelworkers Union, Bill Reid, Dave Ligertwood, Mona Niebergal and Joan McGee. The rally took place across Oliver Street from MLA Donna Barnett’s office.
RCMP investigate Internet Fraud
| News |
Quesnel RCMP have been investigating several reports of fraud over the Internet.
On February 27, 2010, Quesnel RCMP received a complaint of a scam over the Internet in which a person was giving away a 'lovely bulldog puppy' on buysell.com. The seller posted the dog on the Internet and asked the respondent to only pay for the transport of the animal. The respondent was then sent an email from pettravelservices@ aol.com and pettravelcargoltd@ in.com with information about the shipping and expenses. The respondent was then sent information from the seller stating that the puppy is held up at Customs and $600 must be sent to release the dog. The international pet air travel association website has both pettravelservices@ aol.com and pettravelcargoltd@ in.com listed on their website as scam emails. These email addresses and several others are implicated in a puppy fraud out of Cameroon. Other sites that these scam artists have posted on include Kijiji and Buy and Sell from other cities.
