not. This systems has been in place at the CRD and City of Quesnel jointly owned centrally located facilities for a number of years (e.g. Twin Arenas, Arts & Rec. Centre). The rural recreation commissions and Alex Fraser Park society have been directed to implement a similar system for 2014. Recreation passes ensure residents who contribute to the NCRP function through annual taxation are not subsidizing the use of the facilities by residents of non-contributing areas. It may take a while for this system to be fully implemented at these facilities and it likely will cause some frustration. Please be patient with the volunteers as they roll this system out.

UPGRADES TO BOUCHIE LAKE HALL CONTINUE!
The Bouchie Lake Hall continued to receive upgrades right through to December 31, 2013. OIL TANK REMOVED During summer, a 30 year old residential heating oil tank was removed from the front of the hall. Upon removal, it was learnt that the site was contaminated so the site was excavated and remediated. and contaminated soil removed. Plans for construction of the Volunteer Appreciation Garden can now begin. LIGHTING UPGRADE The Bouchie Lake Recreation Commission was approved for a lighting upgrade through Community Works Funding (Gas Tax Fund). The hall is now equipped with energy efficient lighting and some other electrical improvements. KITCHEN RENOVATIONS The kitchen at the Bouchie Lake Hall is one the community should be proud of. It is a fully serviced kitchen stocked with a dish sanitizer, multiple fridges and freezers, dishes and cutlery and now a NEW commercial gas stove complete with automatic lighting and shut off valves. After a considerable amount of discussion, the existing gas stove was sold in the fall as it did not meet the needs of the hall. This was a big decision but in the long term, the right decision. The kitchen has also been painted and new flooring will be installed. A few more minor changes are in the works. FRONT STEP REPAIR / REPLACEMENT The front steps of the Bouchie Lake Hall were identified as needing some attention in the fall. The concrete was cracking and the step surfaces becoming increasingly uneven creating a serious tripping hazard. As a temporary measure a ramp has been installed over the lower steps. It is hoped that the steps will be properly repaired and / or replaced in 2014. UPSTAIRS RENOVATIONS 2014 Plans include the renovation of the upstairs room so it becomes a Multi-Purpose Room perfect for social functions, meetings, and small gatherings. Plans include painting, reconstructing the office, and doing some upgrades on the kitchen area and adding a seating area. If you would like to be involved with this project, your assistance will be most welcomed and appreciated. Please contact Bouchie Lake Rec at 250.249.5508 or bouchielakerc@gmail.com The UPSTAIRS RENO. TEAM is planning to meet January 18th, 1:00 pm at the Bouchie Lake Hall. EVERYONE WELCOME TO ATTEND.
