Trail development was on the agenda at Tuesday night’s North Cariboo Joint Advisory meeting.
Trails Coordinator Ian van Leusden had the floor and went through the work that was planned for 2021 on all eight of the Quesnel area’s trail networks.
That includes the Wonderland trail network on Quesnel-Hydraulic Road that is a legally sanctioned rec site and Trails BC Location that is maintained by the Goldrush Cycling Club.
“This year the cycling club was able to secure NDIT (Northern Development Initiative Trust) funding and COVID funding for the construction of four new trails….one kids loop, one intermediate and two advanced trails, as well as upgrading the original Wonderland Trail.”
Northern Health says there was an exposure at the high school on May 4th.
School District Superintendent Sue-Ellen Miller.
“We know that Northern Health will do all that contact tracing, they’ll be talking with whoever the individual is who tested positive and will identify other people. So I think one of the most important messages is just to trust that they’re going to do the contact tracing, and they will let the District know if there are any additional cases, so at this time no additional cases.”
A letter went home to parents at the school today.
It suggests that parents and students self monitor for signs of illness until May 19th at midnight.
