WorkSafeBC updates to De Patie’s Law require prepayment at all British Columbia gas stations. The rule, effective February 1, follows a fatal drag theft in Maple Ridge in 2005 and results from public input urging 24/7 prepayment across the province.
Residents doubt the change while officials say the safety measure will protect workers from gas theft and violent attacks. Shell and others frame pre payment as a minor inconvenience with cash refunds for unused amounts. Some drivers, like Rocky Good and Chantel Francoeur, criticize the move as tedious, while Correy Maxwell supports it as a theft deterrent. The update also tightens rules for workers alone at night.
Mayor Evan Langstad announced that 2008 taxes will be set using BC assessment values and the district budget. Residential assessments rose an average 26 percent, but tax increases will vary by individual assessment changes. Residents may attend budget meetings as posted and check BC Assessment for accuracy.
