Lunar New Year 2022: Welcoming the Year of the Tiger!

On February 1, 2022, the year 4720 begins.
It marks the first day of the Year of the Tiger in the Chinese calendar.
The Lunar New Year is celebrated during the second new moon after the winter solstice, usually between January 21 and February 20 on the Gregorian calendar.

January 31 - Chinese New Year's Eve
This is often viewed as the most important celebration as it includes the family reunion dinner, and staying up until midnight.

February 1 - New Year's Day.
New Year's Day is spent visiting family, and giving presents.

February 15 - Lantern Festival
This day marks the end of the Chinese New Year when lanterns are lit and hung, and people watch dragon dances in the street.

May the Lunar New Year bring healing and joy with the Year of the Tiger!

Seeking Governance Study Committee Members.

The RDCO is looking for 7 to12 community members interested in serving on the committee that will conduct our governance study.

The study will expand on the 2017 work and provide us an opportunity to explore the possibility of an area boundary change and how it would affect our ability to better address critical services such as:

Roads
Schooling
Ambulance
RCMP
Forestry etc...

There will be an opportunity for the community to engage in discussions about the ways in which the current structure of governance is and is not meeting the needs of the community and the identification of common issues facing residents and property owners. 

Complete an application and email it to info@rdco.com

Applications must be submitted by 12pm Tuesday, February 15th.

Study committee members will be selected based on their experience and interest expressed in the application, upon the recommendation of the Electoral Area Director and approved by the RDCO Board.

Please visit the RDCO page for further information.
