BURNS LAKE - Residents of the Lakes will now find it even easier to access government services with the official opening of a brand-new FrontCounter BC office in Burns Lake.
FrontCounter BC is a single-window service for clients of the natural resource sector. FrontCounter BC was created in 2005 with eight locations, a dedicated call centre and online applications.
