On Jan. 24, the Village of Burns Lake decided to submit an application to the Union of BC Municipalities Community Emergency Preparedness Fund for the 2023 Emergency Support Service’s fund.
Rob Krause, Village of Burns Lake’s director of protective services, said that the village’s current proposed fund was $28,500, while the maximum that can be applied was $30,000.
“We’re basically asking as close to the maximum as the province will allow us each year,” Krause said.
