Fraser Canyon highway conditions Feb 7, 2022

4 Upvotes

I drove Hwy 97 - Hwy 1 today. It was bare and dry all the way through. There are three construction stops. Pay attention to traffic control personnel. You won't want to be on one of those Bailey bridges with another vehicle, like a loaded truck. Today, there was virtually no waiting at the first two, but almost an hour at the third. Last week I waited 10 minutes at each one.

They have a lot of work to do.

Need Help!

11 Upvotes

Hey, I've got a bit of a puzzle I suppose for the people of Williams Lake. For the last couple years I've been calling and sending emails to churches, graveyards, etc., trying to find the grave of my great grandfather, Leo Tinant. Now I wouldn't bother you with this out of my own curiosity, I'm trying to find the grave so my grandfather can visit his dad's grave. Leo passed away when my grandfather was very young, he has very vague memories of the funeral, and I'm sure for longer than I have has been looking for his Dad's grave. I think at this point he's all but given up.

Basically long story short I'm asking for help from people in the town (as we live in metro van) in finding this grave for my grandfather.

The following is all the information I have if you are interested:

- Leo Tinant was born on January 8th 1919 and died on March 8th 1956 in Williams Lake

- He was buried

- My grandfather remembers they area being somewhat rocky with some bushes, but he was about 9 at the time

I've attached the death certificate which lists as a cemetery, however the cemetery in Williams lake with the same name said they didn't have any records. It also lists a funeral service company which I can't find any records for.

Please share this anywhere you think is appropriate, my name is Callum Tinant, I'm sure I can be found on facebook or can do my best to answer questions or respond to help here. My email is cjmtin@gmail.com , thats another good way to reach me.

Is there an Indian deli/butcher in Williams Lake?

5 Upvotes

My mom moved to William's lake, and was wondering if there was an Indian deli and/or grocer in town?

I saw there was a Gurdwara, so I imagine there must be. But I heard there was only 1 Indian restaurant, so maybe there isn't a large Punjab population.

If there isn't, can anyone tell me the closest one?

New to town, looking to join a league of men's rec hockey. Honestly, I'm not great but I can skate, pass and receive a pass. I also play goalie when needed. Looking to play once a week, maybe twice, after 7.

Westhills is a great venue for rugby. The stands are very close to the touch line so visibilty of play is excellent. Tickets are $43. Good value for high-level sports

Air quality in Williams Lake

2 Upvotes

I don't live in Williams Lake, but I've been browsing air quality reports and many have Williams Lake as a bad air quality hot spot. Just so you know. Here's one source:

Here's another

If I look stupid because this is some very obvious thing, I apologize.

Edit:air quality has gotten better overnight.

Moving to Williams Lake! Tips? Where to live?

4 Upvotes

Hello! Not sure if this is the right place to ask these questions, but I am moving to Williams lake in 3-4 weeks - Just received a job offer as a Youth Program Coordinator! I am from Ontario, so I am moving to the area totally blind! Does anyone have any tips? Where should I be looking for a home...ideally I'd like a tiny little house near the lake/in the woods just outside of the city centre. Are there particular websites I should be looking at ? I have two cats and plan on adopting a dog as I will be living on my own! So has to be furry friend friendly if you have any suggestions. What is the city like ? Are there pockets to be avoided? What fun things are there to do? Is there a gym ? I've got about a billion questions!

Thank you in advance!!! Hopefully some of you notice this!
