Minister Brummel reports on rural phone aid and regional issues
MLA Tony Brummel outlines changes to rural telephone service costs shifting to a 50 per 30 metre rate after 165 free metres, easing access for many farmers. He notes dual registration for geophysical contractors, plans to lift Site E flood reserve, rural gasification funding, and strong support for regional TV rebroadcast improvements ahead of the BC Winter Games. He praises community theatre, Stage North, and local media for promoting events.

School board reviews tentative funding plan for 25 schools
The Board of School Trustees heard a tentative funding formula for all 25 district schools at the February 27 meeting. Superintendent Parslow warned that no phase in grant means the district must live with the 1986 funding level set in 1984, with smaller elementary schools needing more funds and several other sites facing staff cuts or adjustments. He noted cuts will be unpopular, urging a provincial funding rise, and highlighted impacts across elementary and secondary schools including staff losses at Crescent Park, Dokie, Ponce Coupe, and South Peace Senior Secondary, with notes on enrolment-driven changes.
