I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to everyone contributing to the success of qathet Regional District (qRD). Thank you to my fellow directors, qRD staff, the many volunteers in our fire departments, and our committees, commissions and working groups. We are successful because of you.
We warmly welcome City of Powell River councillor Rob Southcott to the qRD board, who succeeded councillor George Doubt as one of two serving municipal directors. Councillor Doubt’s service as a representative on the NG-911 board and as the chair of qathet Regional Hospital District were invaluable. We thank him for his many contributions and wish him all the best.
Congratulations to Tla’amin Nation on its recent election. Earlier this year, it was an honour to attend and speak at the Truth and Reconciliation Ceremony and Flag Raising Ceremony held at City Hall. This marked a meaningful step in strengthening partnerships among our three governments. We look forward to our continued collaboration.
The new Resource Recovery Centre (RRC) is off to a strong start with its waste and recycling programs. Meanwhile, the Northside Community Recreation Centre upgrades in Lund are on the horizon; design work is underway and construction is set to begin in late spring.
As we reflect on the past year, I am reminded of the many reasons we have to be grateful. In the coming year, let us continue to focus on the opportunities that are ahead of us. Happy Holidays!
