Regional District of Kitimat-Stikine

The RDKS is hosting an update meeting on Feb. 21 in Dease Lake on the state of the Dease Lake Volunteer Fire Department, whose operations remain suspended until sufficient qualified members complete the training program.

Bylaw 779—Notice is hereby given that a Public Hearing will be held on Wednesday, Feb. 1, 2023, via Microsoft Teams and in person at the RDKS 1st Floor Board Room at 4545 Lazelle Avenue in Terrace.

A new location, the same community-building result. The RDKS and partners hosted a successful Christmas tree Chipping for Charity event on Jan. 7. Residents brought non-perishable foods in exchange for their trees being disposed of. See the attached poster for the event's results.

Tipping fees are increasing in the Terrace Service Area as of January 2023. Tipping fees are raising in response to increased operating costs and to ensure an adequate reserve for landfill cell closures and future required cell expansions.

The Public Hearings originally scheduled for Jan. 4, 2023 to consider the RDKS Zoning Amendment Bylaws 776 & 777 have been rescheduled and will be held on separate days—Wednesday, Jan. 25 and Thursday, Jan. 26.

UPDATE—Churchill Drive Watermain Break: The water is back on to the affected residents between 2122 and 2160 Churchill Drive, and repairs have been made.
