In the story ‘Centre, Fifth sections to be repaved’ published in the Lakes District News’ June 21 issue, council had decided to repave sections of Centre Street and Fifth Avenue this summer.

However, after re-examining the costs, village staff determined that the cost to repave both sections would go above the village’s $160,000 yearly budget for paving projects.

“After the B.C. Bid was open, we re-examined the sites just to reconfirm that we were good on the numbers and it came up over budget,” explained director of public works Dale Ross.
