Entry: The Child Care Resource and Referral Toy Lending Library catalogue looks like every child’s wish list with Lego, puzzles, rocking horses, work benches, books and videos, almost more than anyone can imagine.
The Toy Lending Library is a wish that can come true. Parents can join to sign out toys and equipment for children ages birth to five years. The toys come in themed kits with suggestions on how to use them for fun and learning. There are also larger items like toy cars, strollers, tricycles, wagons, play pens and baby gates. Parents love this and it’s great for anyone who has children visiting, for care providers and for play dates and birthday parties. These are good quality toys that are well-maintained and people respect them and take good care of them. The Child Care Resource and Referral office provides a variety of services for families and child care providers, including workshops and assistance with completing child care subsidy forms. Membership in the library is $20 per year. Registration is at Child Care Resource and Referral at the Boys and Girls Club.

Entry: This is the 7th season our committee has been "Keeping Spirits Bright" in our community. We work with a huge number of various organizations and groups in organizing events and activities during the winter months. It amazes us the support and participation we get from our citizens, young and not so young, in making Williams Lake a unique, fun and active community to enjoy in the winter. They do not need any encouragement to participate in our indoor or outdoor activities. We invite everyone from far and wide to visit our community and experience some truly unique cultural "Cariboo Hospitality.
