People in Valemount will be able to utilize the Regional Transfer Station more often.
Earlier this week, the Regional District of Fraser-Fort George announced the facility will be shifting to a year-round schedule starting November.
In addition, the site is transitioning to a year-round schedule and will operate on Tuesdays during the winter to support the Recycle BC program.
The station will be open for operation during the following hours:
- Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday 9 am to 5 pm
- Saturday and Sunday 9 am to 4 pm
The Regional District is implementing a new corporate policy for the increased request for commemorative and memorial benches, picnic tables and trees within the network of 11 regional parks.
The new policy will ensure that all requests from residents are handled consistently, and the program will charge fees on a cost-recovery basis.

Electoral Area C (Chilako River-Nechako)
