New President, Executive and Directors at Large Acclaimed to North Central Local
Government Association Board
Prince George, July 7, 2020 – During the North Central Local Government Association (NCLGA)
Annual General Meeting on July 3, Association members welcomed their newly acclaimed President,
Executive and Directors at Large.
Sarrah Storey, Mayor of the Village of Fraser Lake, is the new NCLGA President. Prior to becoming
the NCLGA President, she served as an NCLGA Director, Second Vice President and First Vice
President. Established in 1955, the NCLGA is the advocacy body for Local Government officials in
North Central British Columbia. As a non-partisan, non-profit association, the NCLGA aspires to
provide a voice for communities whose voices are often left unheard because of their size or location.
“Building on the actions implemented by my predecessors, my primary focus as President will be to
work with the Executive, Board and the membership to enhance alignment and advocate for solutions
based on the issues and opportunities identified in the 2020 NCLGA Resolutions. I look forward to
collaboratively creating new synergies that are linked to actions on issues that matter to communities
throughout North and Central British Columbia” said Storey.
