Prince George mayor defends record

Our Daybreak DJ theme is now songs with a little bit of country. Get in your favourite country twang song and you too could be sipping cowboy coffee from a Daybreak mug. Call 1-866-340-1932, email daybreaknorth@cbc.ca, or Tweet us @daybreaknorth.

You can also enter to win Ian Tyson tickets the same way-- just share your cowboy poetry and you could see the Canadian country legend at Vanier Hall on May 9 in Prince George.

Donations can now be made to the Lakeland Fire Assistance Fund through the Prince George Community Foundation online at www.pgcf.ca/ or by calling (250) 562-7772.

The United Steelworkers union has also set up a separate help fund, cheques can be mailed to the union's Prince George office, directed to the "Lakeland Tragedy Fund."

Tax receipts will be issued.

"We Remember Lakeland Mills" wristbands are also being sold, with proceeds going to the assistance fund. Information can be found on Facebook.

On May 15, students from the College of New Caledonia's culinary arts program will be holding a fundraiser barbecue and silent auction from 11 am to 2 pm. Information also on Facebook.
