100 MILE HOUSE, B.C. — The District of 100 Mile House says it wants to formally explore forming a regional municipality with neighbouring electoral areas.
However, the community is not receiving any support from the Cariboo Regional District.
On Wednesday (July 8), 100 Mile House Mayor Maureen Pinkney issued a news release stating a regional municipality would be governed by a mayor and five councillors – as well as CRD Electoral Areas G, H and L.
“When our South Cariboo Communities can be viewed as a larger Municipality we have a larger collective base and increased ability to attract investment and therefore the ability for diversifying and creating larger economics,” Pinkney said, noting the model could result in better governance, increased efficiency and reduced costs.
