Hospital board holds elections

CRD trustees discuss hospital board elections and candidate expense limits

Following are the highlights from the Jan. 17 Cariboo Regional District (CRD) regular board meeting:

Hospital board elections

The Cariboo Chilcotin Regional Hospital District and Cariboo Regional Hospital District boards elected their chair and vice-chair for 2014 at the meeting.

Cariboo Regional District (CRD) Area C (Bowron Lake-Barlow Creek-Barkerville) Director John Massier was re-elected as chair, while vice-chair duties will be carried out by Area H (Canim Lake- Forest Grove) Director Margo Wagner.

Candidate expense limits

The CRD received a letter from Community, Sport and Cultural Development Minister Coralee Oakes inviting the board to submit feedback on the second phase of local government elections reform, which focuses on expense limits of candidates in local government elections.

If passed, it is expected any changes in current legislation on expense limits would be developed, introduced and implemented after the fall 2014 local elections.
