On behalf of Township of Spallumcheen Council I would like to express our heartfelt condolences to the families and friends of the truck drivers that lost their lives yesterday in the horrible accident on Highway 1 near Golden. Our thoughts and condolences are also with the entire Team BC Dairy 4H members who lost their calves, equipment, and luggage in this awful situation and all the dairy farmers that lost animals.
Many of the young 4H members on Team BC reside here locally and would have been gearing up to compete at the Interior Provincial Exhibition and the Salmon Arm Fair. Community is one of the four pillars of 4H fundamental beliefs and our local 4H community is hurting. Our thoughts are with these young members of our community at this time.
Sincerely
Christine Fraser
Mayor
