DAWSON CREEK, B.C – The Peace River Regional District board has rejected a request from the Nor’ Pioneer Women’s Institute to hold a plant sale next month.
The WI wanted to hold the 10-day sale in mid to-late May at the Cecil Lake transfer station as part of its ongoing fundraising for a community emergency fund, the Cecil Lake Cemetery, and the Women’s Resource Society.
Electoral Area B Director Karen Goodings said the organization was also considering the Cecil Lake Store as a venue, and wanted the group to be able to use the station as a second option. Both said they would take precautions and follow current COVID-19 public health rules, which currently limit outdoor events to 10.
