Veteran trustee acclaimed after no challengers emerged at inaugural meeting

VICTORIA - The 20 conservation officers sworn in last spring are now at work in various locations throughout the province.

Remembrance Day Ceremonies took place at Barriere Secondary (BSS) on Friday, Nov. 9. Distinguished guests in attendance included Barriere Legion officer Vern Buker, Legion president Glenn Reid, 92-year-old Veteran Vern Wilson, Master Corporal Wayne Wohlgemuth, RCMP Barriere Detachment Cpl. Robert Welsman, and School District 73 vice-chair Rhonda Kershaw.

Barriere resident Bill Kershaw was re-elected in October as the Thompson Nicola Regional District (TNRD) Area “O” director, serving the Lower North Thompson region, which includes communities from Little Fort south. Kershaw is no stranger to the job, having already served a number of terms in that position. Most recently Kershaw was also elected to serve as the vicechair of the TNRD board of directors under newly elected chair Ken Gillis from Electoral Area “L” Grasslands.

Lest we forget what thousands of men and women did to fight for Canada’s freedoms – but without new membership, many Legion chapters face dwindling numbers
