Quesnel Farmers Market Delegation
Wylie Bystedt presented to City Council on behalf of the Quesnel Farmers’ Market, highlighting its history, operations, and the broader economic impact farmers’ markets have in communities across the province. Operating for more than 30 years, the Quesnel Farmers’ Market provides low-barrier opportunities for entrepreneurs to participate in the local economy.
RCMP Detachment Project Delegation
Council received a presentation from Bassem Tawfik of KMBR outlining the design work completed for renovations to the RCMP detachment. The presentation highlighted key project features, as well as preliminary cost estimates to help inform future planning and decision-making.
BC Transit Annual Operating Agreement
Council approved entering into the 2026/27 Annual Operating Agreement for Quesnel Transit Service with BC Transit. The agreement outlines the system’s budget, service levels, and cost structure. The current agreement also reflects the transit fare increase approved by Council earlier this year, which will take effect on June 29, 2026.
Statement of Financial Information 2025
Council approved the 2025 Statement of Financial Information. Each year, the City puts together a Statement of Financial Information, as required by the Financial Information Act. The City also shares an annual report on Council pay and benefits under the Community Charter. The expenses listed cover all costs from the year, not just training and travel, so residents can see the full picture.
RCMP Detachment Project
Council has decided not to proceed with a referendum in 2026 for the proposed renovation and expansion to the RCMP detachment. Instead, staff have been directed to develop a communications plan to better inform both the incoming Council and the community about the City’s long-term capital needs, including major unfunded projects such as the detachment upgrades. This plan will also seek public input to help prioritize these projects, ensuring future decisions reflect community values and financial considerations.
625 Allard – Hazard Development Permit for placement of mobile home
Council has approved Development Permit DP2026-88 to allow for the placement of a mobile home on Lot 9, District Lot 704, subject to several geotechnical safety conditions. These include requirements for appropriate foundation design, site investigation of any existing fill, ongoing monitoring and adjustment of the home’s cribbing, and the use of flexible service connections. To ensure long-term compliance with these conditions, a Section 219 restrictive covenant referencing the geotechnical report must be registered on title prior to issuance of a building permit.
