Volunteer Appreciation
It was brought to may attention (thanks Jim!) that I neglected to say where the Volunteer Appreciation and Citizen of the Year Reception is going to be held.
So here is the information again. The Annual Volunteer Recognition event will be held on Saturday, Feb. 13 at the Clinton Memorial Hall. The door opens at 6:30 with the evening events commencing at 7 p.m.
This will be a wine and cheese reception and there will be door prizes as well. Mayor Rivett will be the Master of Ceremonies and local dignitaries have been invited.
All citizens of Clinton and area are welcome to attend to celebrate the contributions that the many volunteers make to the community.
Wild Sheep Town Hall Meeting
An important meeting regarding the health of wild sheep in BC is being held on Sunday, Feb. 7 from 7-9 p.m. in the Clinton Memorial Hall.
The BC Wildlife Federation, Clinton and District Outdoor Sportsmen Association, Guide Outfitters of the Thompson, the Wildlife Stewardship Council and the Wild Sheep Society of BC have come together to host this meeting.
Wild sheep numbers are dropping. When wild sheep come into contact with domestic sheep, goats or llamas they encounter pathogens to which they are not immune. When wild sheep come into contact with pathogens to which they have never been exposed before the risk of widespread population die-off is extreme. Wild sheep and domestic sheep need to be kept separate from each other.
Plan to attend the meeting to see what you can do to help prevent more massive die-off of wild sheep.
