Coming in November, Williams Lake will host a Nation-2-Nation conference.
While the civic government won’t be playing a huge role in the conference, city council has voted to give $2500 to the event and Mayor Walt Cobb says he is excited and optimistic about the November 17th & 18th event…”Oh very, very much so, very much so, the more we can pull our communities together the better we are, you know, we like to think we are our own little island , but we’re not. We’re in this together and we need the whole region involved when it comes to economic development and things like that”.
Cobb says the city of Williams Lake has held similar meetings with area bands in what are called community-2-community conferences, but he says N-2-N is much bigger and hosting the event will be good for the city.
