Plan to run North Peace airport with Vancouver Airport
Hudson's Hope residents learn of a plan to keep Fort St. John airport open after federal involvement ends. Vancouver International Airport would operate the North Peace facility under a lease while the city commission retains ownership and seeks profit without taxpayer funding. The plan envisions cost control, service reviews, and potential user charges if needed, with a 2000 subsidy end and a modest passenger growth forecast.

Delegation Urges BC Government Cuts Opposition In Chetwynd Region
A BCGEU delegation urged council to oppose provincial budget cuts affecting 45 provincial employees across Chetwynd Fort St John Dawson Creek area risking payroll losses of about 2.11 million dollars and reduced services. Mayor Barb Shirley noted a council resolution on the cuts and asked for community support. The report also mentions town plans for a 300 dollar cake for summer anniversary events and ongoing talks on street closures for August, plus local interests in venomous snakes and a bylaw draft. Dave Komaike, public works director, will leave for Fernie in December.
