Trapper Creek Community Council has proposed to a minor change to the Council’s boundary lines to accommodate some residents who live on the fringe areas of the current boundary. The changes would be to extend the boundary line on Oil Well Road from mile 8.5 to Kroto Creek mile 14.5, and from Parks Hwy mile 132 to mile 136. Council believes the current boundary lines fall short to accurately reflect who resides in Trapper Creek on a full time basis. The only change this would accomplish is it would allow those in the boundaries as those within the current boundary to run for Council seat and vote on matters that are important to the community. Some have had questions regarding this proposal and the one often asked is (will this give people who do not reside here permanently the right to vote?) The answer is NO. As per Councils by laws and election criteria you must be a full time resident of trapper Creek not just someone who owns a cabin for recreational use and a weekend warrior Although Council has open meetings and allows anyone to comment you must fall under Council criteria to run for office and vote.

Thank You.
