Two Cariboo ATV clubs are getting grant funding from the ATV BC's Trail Development and Maintenance Grant program. The funding will go towards trial projects in the two clubs' areas.
The 108 Mile Water System has been shutoff until 4 p.m. today, April 8, while maintenance is ongoing. The Cariboo Regional District advises residents in the area that there will be a Boil Water Advisory in effect when water service is restored.
The 108 ATV Club will be taking three opposition MLAs and several Directors of the Cariboo Regional District up the Gold Rush Snowmobile Trail for three days over the weekend. Mark Redl of the 108 ATV Club hopes that the MLAs will get a great experience of the Cariboo-Chilcotin countryside, and see the need to drive more tourism into this unique part of British Columbia.
A Boil Water Notice has been put into effect in 108 Mile Ranch, due to what the Cariboo Regional District says is a "substantial water main break and loss of pressure in large areas in the system."
