Persistency has paid off for Area C Director Jim Abram.
Thanks to what Abram himself described as a “smack” to a provincial minister, the Strathcona Regional District has finally secured long-awaited funding for seismic upgrades to Quadra Island’s Emergency Operations Centre.
After being turned down twice for senior government grant funding, the regional district discovered in late March that it will receive $500,000 to carry out seismic improvements at Quadra’s Community Centre, which serves as the area’s Emergency Operations Centre during catastrophic emergencies.
