Dec. 23: Community briefs

Dec. 23 community briefs: correction on Vanderhoof's new animal welfare group, 2016 local arts festival, online resource for trade careers

Correction: new group for animal welfare

While the Greater Nechako Animal Welfare Society hopes to be able to help pet owners out with reduced spay/neuter costs in partnership with our local vets, the discount offered is contingent upon funding from BC SPCA.

At this time, the funding application remains in process, and the society currently does not have the financial ability to provide the reduced cost.

 

2016 local arts festival

Online registration for the 38th annual Festival of the Performing Arts is taking place until Jan. 11.

From March 7 to 20 in 2016, the festival includes speech arts, strings, and piano: Categories for entries are listed under “Syllabus” www.musicfestivalweb/nechako and print copies are available for pickup at the Vanderhoof Library and Woody’s Bakery.

Late fees would be added to entries submitted after Jan. 11 until Jan. 22, and no entries would be accepted after that date.
