The final wildfire community consultation meeting conducted by the Cariboo Regional District (CRD) will take place Wednesday, Nov. 15 at the Big Lake Community Hall.
Meetings have been scheduled in 17 of the most impacted fire and evacuation areas and are a way for the CRD to reach out to residents and gain feedback on the emergency efforts as well as understand community and resident needs through recovery.
Several agencies who were part of the emergency will also be in attendance, in addition to various staff from the CRD at the meeting in Big Lake Wednesday night.
