City council approved a funding application to a Union of B.C. Municipalities program to protect archaeological features in the city.
The application is for $2,400, which would be used for a facilitated workshop with the Williams Lake Indian Band. If approved, the funds would come from the UBCM’s 2011/12 Community to Community Forum program.
The purpose of the proposed workshop would be to identify areas of concern, a format for documenting known areas of risk, and a process for advising developers of the need to protect archaeological features and the necessary assessments.
The City and Williams Lake Indian Band would provide matching in-kind value in the form of staff resources and facility rental.
