Lac des Roches residents were among the 100 or so citizens who attended an information gathering meeting with George Abbott on Oct. 14 at the Interlakes Community Hall. There have been concerns raised by individuals and special interest groups about the governance of the Interlakes area. A request for grant money by the Interlakes Economic Association prompted the Cariboo Regional District to hire Mr. Abbot and his partners to conduct a study and produce a report on issues of governance. The report is expected to be complete by December 31 of this year.
