Cariboo Regional District votes to allocate funding for 2 community hall upgrades

A couple of Community Hall upgrades will be made possible through Community Works Funds.

At today’s (Fridays) meeting the Cariboo Regional District Board voted in favour of contributing $53,000 to the Horsefly Community Club for a roofing and insulation project.

The CRD said these upgrades will greatly reduce annual heat loss and improve the energy efficiency of the hall.

A total of $37,000 will be allocated to the Tatla Lake Community Association.

The Cariboo Regional District said the funding will support a $53,000 solar panel project with the remainder of the cost of the project to be covered by a BC Hydro rebate.

Community Works Funds are provided to local governments in BC through agreements between the Government of Canada, Province of BC, and the Union of BC Municipalities.
