Chetwynd Seeks Affordable Housing to Attract Teck Labor
Mayor Lasser notes the Chamber may miss full grant due to the Provincial Restraint program as Chetwynd aims to offer housing in the 60000 dollar range to lure Teck workers. Dawson Creek pursues business, while government push to Tumbler Ridge requires coordinated action among Village Card and Chamber to attract residents. Harold Amundsen reports slim promise from federal and provincial tourism apps. Northwest Festival meeting in Prince George was informative. Directors meet April 13 and regular meeting May 4.
