A new hot water boiler is coming to the Beaverly Fire Hall.
During its meeting last week in Mackenzie, the Regional District of Fraser-Fort George approved $25,000 from the Community Works Fund to also replace the windows at their facility.
In addition, a new bylaw for fees and charges for services and property use at the Robson Valley Recreation Centre and Canoe Valley Recreation Centre were adopted.
