Should taxpayers be on the hook for hosting a concert in Quesnel ?

Politicians in the North Cariboo will decide if they want to get back into the concert business at a meeting in Quesnel tonight. (Tuesday)

A staff recommendation to bring “the Snotty Nosed Rez Kids” to town is on the agenda for a North Cariboo Joint Advisory Committee meeting.

The concert would take place in early June at the West Fraser Centre.

Quesnel hosted the country band “the Reklaws” back in 2023.

867 people attended and there was a net loss of $5,500.

The report that will be read tonight says the event would cost around $72,800 and 1,000 people at 60 dollars each would be needed to break even.

“The Snotty Nosed Rez Kids” are described as a First Nations hip hop duo comprised of Haisla rappers “Young D” Metz and Quinton “Yung Trybez” Nyce.
