The Regional District of Fraser-Fort George is changing the way they issue public notices.
At their Regional Board Meeting on Thursday, the District adopted a new bylaw where statutory public notices will be posted by two methods; directly on the Regional District website and on Facebook.
There is also a new policy where newspaper advertising can be used as an additional method of notification.
According to the Regional District, the bylaw and policy were developed after conducting a survey of electoral area residents and considering methods most widely available within the region.
Residents will continue to be mailed public notifications of land use applications and public hearings in accordance with the Development Applications Procedure Bylaw No. 3268 and the Local Government Act.
The City of Prince George did away with using ads in local newspapers last year.
At the time it was estimated it would save the City about $100,000.
