4 YEARS AGO (2021): With the coronavirus pandemic going on for another year, Peter Skene Ogden (PSO) graduates said they felt they were missing out and were disappointed by the lack of any activities for the year. Emily Glen, who was one of the 2021 PSO graduates, said that it was going to be an interesting experience due to the pandemic. Students also expected that there would be a form of a reverse parade similar to 2020, as well as two photo booths where grads would take pictures with their friends, family, or date.
8 YEARS AGO (2017): Grade 10 students in 100 Mile House got an experience of what it would be like to die or suffer serious brain or bodily damage as a result of drunk driving. The Prevent Alcohol and Risk Related Trauma in Youth (PARTY) program had taken place, in which stations on brain injury, as well as testimony by brain injury survivors, were present. In addition, a mock crash scenario had taken place, followed by an emergency room scenario as well as an explanation of the procedures the coroner would take in case of a drunk driving death.
12 YEARS AGO (2013): Saibo Talic, the head coach of European Football School (EFS) as well as technical skills coach Igor Matic were in 100 Mile House between April 26-28 conducting a spring soccer camp for 62 youth from the 100 Mile House & District Soccer Association, as well as Williams Lake, Quesnel and Kamloops. EFS had a reputation as a soccer school of excellence and drew a good local response last year when a similar camp was held. Talic said that he put the focus of the camp on skill and imagination development.
16 YEARS AGO (2009): Construction on the new library in 100 Mile House was scheduled to start within a few weeks. The Cariboo Regional District (CRD) had awarded the construction contract to Mireau Contractors Ltd, based out of Abbotsford, the same company that helped build the South Cariboo Rec Centre in 2002. Al Richmond, then chair of the CRD, said that he was extremely pleased to award the project to them based on the quality of their submission and past experience. The library had cost $3 million, which had included demolition of the old library.
