Thank you, Ratepayers!


Friday’s potluck supper organized by the Coldstream Ratepayers Association was an unqualified success. There were about 80 people enjoying some delicious food and free beverages.


The “very special guest speaker” turned out to be Coldstream’s new Mayor Jim Garlick who emphasized that there is a need for the Association to help Council in maintaining connection with the residents of Coldstream and obtain valuable input to members of Council. In total five members of Council were present and recognized by the President of the Association, Steve Heeren.

Other distinguished guests were Leo Lecavalier, the reinstated Fire Chief and his family and Ken Henry, Assistant Fire Chief all of whom were recognized by the participants.


The event was well organized and the organizers, led by Louise Christy, deserve kudos for their excellent work. Many people expressed their belief that there should be more of these events to ensure a greater community spirit.

On behalf of Council I would like to thank the Ratepayers for the excellent event.
