The Cariboo Regional District doesn’t currently have a Regional Trail and Parks Service, like surrounding Regional Districts.
“That’s been a gap that I think the Regional District has been looking towards playing a more prominent role in trying to help some of these long regional trails become established,” said CRD Manager of Community Services Darron Campbell.
Campbell pitched Trails and Parks services for the CRD and delivered a presentation to the Williams Lake Committee of the Whole Tuesday evening.
Campbell’s report says delivery of a new trails and parks service will require a new staff position, and the estimated full cost for this would be $100,000, including wages, travel, technology, and basic operating budget.
There are a number of goals outlined in the report, with a budget total of $188,000, and a recommendation that the 2022 budget for the new trails and parks service be established at $200,000 people.
