Thank you Christina Lake.
It is my honour to have the confidence of the Christina Lake as its acclaimed area director. Our primary concern for the coming year is milfoil. We continue to collect information from other regions, price out rental of harvesting machines, figure cost of additional divers and search out the possibility of grants and rototilling.
It is, obvious that we need to increase our milfoil service. As for organics recovery, we won’t go forward with this at this time, rather we will continue to monitor, the pilot project in Grand Forks.
The cemetery service will be a referendum issue on Nov. 19. As many know there is a dedicated group of volunteers who cleaned up the old Cascade Cemetery off Stewart Creek Road. The referendum is a result of a study and the vocal interest of many.
We are asking the electorate if it would like to pay into the service. We are proposing an eco-cemetery which would lean towards a more environmentally-friendly type of internment and possibly a memorial wall where ashes of the deceased could be stored.
The overall direction would be done by a cemetery committee comprised of volunteers. It is our intent to ramp up this service slowly.
