Council members at the Oct. 3 District of Barriere Council meeting heard a petition from the North Thompson Fish and Game Club. Club representative Mel Schmidt requested a letter of support from Council, for the club’s plans to create a shooting range off Gorman Lake Road.
“The purpose of the range is to have a safe place to train the youth to shoot,” stated Schmidt.
Council members approved sending a letter of support.
The request for proposals have been received for the installation of the water meters within the District.

The work of installing the meters will start as soon as possible, with completion anticipated by the end of May 2012.
