• Options for money, TACL asking for money for youth centre for pots and pans. Rossland is proposing we share the proposal for basinettes for KBRH foundation (13,000). KCTS has to requalify for gaming funds so we can consider them once they do.

• Program Doug Swanson from the Kootenay Columbia Trail society. (KCTS)
• Their mission is to build and maintain recreational trails. Multi-use trails for non-motorized use. Benefits are many. Have well maintained trails with as few distractions as possible. Horse riders are included.
• Webster Trail in Beaver Valley, they are building a bike descent. Bikes can share uphill trails but on downhills bikes can get very fast and like to have different trails. Ruala will put up a map (when they have a good one) showing local trails.
• Wants to do some sort of electronic handshake across from antenna trail to Webster trail at May days next year.
• Want to make sure environment is not damaged and that environmental concerns are managed. Trails are built to withstand local weather conditions.
