4-H underway
Lone Butte 4-H is off to an exciting start with the highest number of members to date. The kids spent the evening of Jan. 26 electing members to various roles within the club. Some topics of discussion were the 2017 schedule, budget, fundraising, projects, and awards.
Last week, wasting no time, the 4-H kids were at Save-On-Foods selling pig raffle tickets. Two lucky winners will go home with a side of pork on Feb. 25 at the spaghetti dinner at the Lone Butte Community Hall.
Registration is still open to families that have a passion in the care and showing of rabbits, sheep, horses, beef, swine, llamas/alpacas, poultry, dogs, and even photography! Contact Heidi Meier at 250-395-6039 for more information.
Support to Tax Credit
The Cariboo Regional District will be writing a letter to local Members of Parliament and the federal Minister of Environment urging them to support Bill C-323, a federal Heritage Tax Credit Bill. The Bill would create a 20 per cent tax credit for rehabilitation of recognized historic places. The Board agrees this effort would be significant to encourage the preservation of culturally significant buildings in Canada.
