Quesnel City Council’s bid to host the 2024 BC Winter Games has been granted a stay of execution.
City Councillor Mitch Vik, the Chair of the Executive Committee, says the city has been given some more time to iron out a few of the necessary details.
“The Society, after learning about the challenges the city had faced obtaining the necessary support, generously agreed to grant an extension to our bid submission until March 15th. The Executive Committee directed Manager Johnson to send a letter to the School District, which occurred on February 20th, in the hopes of obtaining the necessary letter of support thereby salvaging the bid.”

Quesnel City Council has given staff the green light to submit a grant application to assist in funding a Thermal Energy System feasibility study.
Kyle Aben is the city’s Carbon Review Coordinator.
“Currently funding is available through the Federation of Canadian Municipalities for up to 50 percent of the feasibility cost. Our partner, West Fraser, is applying through IFIT (Investments in Forestry Industry Transformation program) for their portion. And then the city would be required to put up 10 percent or approximately 40 thousand dollars.”
