Did you know that you can recycle your CFC light bulbs, old cell phones and
any rechargeable batteries at the District Office?
We have now also started a new program and have a wooden box where you can now drop off any non-rechargeable batteries!
Instead of throwing these items in the trash, why don’t you bring them
down to the District office for recycling?
When you first walk into the District Office, before going up the stairs, you will see a plastic garbage can where you can drop off the light bulbs, a cardboard box that you can drop off the rechargeable batteries and cell phones, and a wooden box where you can drop off the non-rechargeable batteries. These drop boxes are all labelled for your convenience.
REDUCE REUSE RECYCLE
Pack Your Bags Contest
The Environmental Advisory Committee for the District is sponsoring another Pack Your Bags contest as a way of encouraging residents to use re-usable bags rather than the plastic bags when shopping. The contest will begin on Monday, October 19, 2009, and will continue for six weeks. Every time you bring along a re-usable bag for your purchases, your name will be entered in a draw for a weekly $20 gift certificate provided by the participating businesses. In the final week, the District of Hudson’s Hope will also contribute a $100 gift certificate! So, PACK YOUR BAGS when you shop at the following local stores:
• Government Liquor Store
• Indulgences
• Marg’s Minimart
• Shop Easy
• Sportsman’s Liquor Store

MAYORS REPORT- Mayor Karen Anderson
Members of council attended the UBCM Conference held in Vancouver at the end of September. Council had a chance to meet with BC Hydro, Northern Health, Ministry of Agriculture, Minster of Health, and Minister of Housing. The meetings were very informative and we came back with a definite action plan to get working some plans that will benefit Hudson’s Hope.
Congratulations to the Hudson’s Hope Museum, they have been awarded the “Museum in Motion Award”, this award is given to an individual, institution or agency for a recent outstanding, innovative, or creative achievement in the museum, art gallery, archives or heritage field in British Columbia. The Historical Society has worked very hard over the last year to showcase the Bedeaux Expedition. This event brought in many visitors to our community.
Council has been meeting with Telus to look into the possibility of bringing Broadband to our community. This project is in the very early stages. We are presently looking to industry, business, and the community for their input. Call Travous Quibell if you have an interest in this project.
Don’t forget the “Pack Your Bag” contest which goes until the end of November. You could win the weekly draw for a $20.00 gift certificate from participating businesses.
Mayor Karen Anderson
