Conflict of Interest Rules Hit Small Towns in BC Region

Fort St John officials cite it as a precedent while mayors like Dawson Creek's Mike Bernier note many councillors serve on nonprofit boards and may need to step back from votes. Merlin Nichols of Chetwynd calls for clarification and hopes for an appeal.

Chetwynd Chiefs Change in Traffic Fine Revenue Sharing
Minister Bennett notes four year reliability of the Strategic Community Investment Fund funding for BC communities.
