Predictions for 2015

Community leaders look ahead to the upcoming year

Chief Mike Archie, Tsq’escenemc – Canim Lake Band:

“I always look back, and I always look forward to our relationship with government, and that its promises come through.

“My staff is very experienced and well-educated, so I always predict a good outcome and a lot of good progress for my band, whether it be economic development, community development or our relationship with other companies.

“I am wishing the District of 100 Mile House and its council a good and prosperous New Year.”

Donna Barnett, Cariboo-Chilcotin MLA:

“In my opinion, 2015 will be a year filled with many challenges.

“These challenges, as always, will be based on our willingness to work together to generate a vibrant economy in our resource industries and communities, and to continue to grow our tourism, agriculture and tech sectors. This can be accomplished by showing the investment community we are here to work together.

“As citizens, we need to support our neighbours, families and friends, and treat them with compassion.

“We are living in a great country where we are still safe.

“I am wishing everyone success, good health and happiness in 2015.”
