Quesnel’s Board of Education voted unanimously to give itself an increase to its annual stipend at Wednesday night’s monthly meeting.
Board Chair Tony Goulet says it was in line with what the District’s union partners got.
“It was just following with what’s happening with the other stakeholder unions, they had a two percent increase, so it was just felt that we should match that two percent.”
Goulet says Trustees haven’t had a lot of raises over the past several years…
“I think it’s just the time right, time to just move up. We were given the flow chart and it’s very sporadic. There have been years where it has been nothing like several years in a row, then a 1 point something percent increase, and then a zero and we just felt it was time for us to do it.”

It looks like the Quesnel Tillicum Society/Native Friendship Centre’s Indigenous Wildfire Firefighter program is a success !
Executive Director Tony Goulet says it has been extremely well received.
“Really good and today (Monday) was the first day. We have 20 participants which is what we were looking for as the max and they had their first full day of introduction and training and here we go.”
Goulet says it didn’t take long to fill up the class.
“It was through an on-line process and an application process, and it was quite surprising because it filled up, we knew we had 20 probably about two weeks ago. And we do have some people who are on a list in case something happens.”
