Sherry Yonkman
Sherry moved to Williams Lake in 2008 and has been a very active volunteer in the community. Strongly believing in supporting local businesses and organizations, she was very excited to join Downtown Williams Lake BIA in 2021. Getting to know the amazing people in the downtown community has been the best part of working in this office. With her family now grown, Sherry has more time for exploring the beautiful lakes, trails and golf courses that the Cariboo offers.
Event Coordinator:
Amanda Fuller
Amanda joined our team in November 2022. As a life-long resident of the Williams Lake area, Amanda is passionate about our community and the businesses in it!

We look forward to the fresh perspective Amanda is bringing to the Downtown Williams Lake BIA.
