Eric. |
|
Minutes |
The amended minutes
were accepted on a motion from David and seconded by Don. |
|
Treasurers Report |
As provided by Don. It
includes the latest rink costs. The rink grant is not in yet. Overall the
balance shows a slight deficit as a result of the rink grant not received
yet. The budget was approved on a motion by Don, seconded by Eric and
carried. |

MPP McNeely’s Report |
·
The utilization
of the beach at Petrie may be low this summer. ·
Phil suggested
the FCA might want to look at pursuing a Trillium grant to kick-start the
Beach project. |
|
Counselor Jellett’s Report as provided by
Louise Lapensee |
·
The proposed
City budget would cut rinks and Canada Day grants. ·
Paul proposed
to write a letter to the City indicating the Fallingbrook Community
Association does not support outdoor rink cuts from the budget. The motion
was made by Paul and seconded by George and was carried. |
|
Newsletter |
Don took the two - day course on Quark
express. The newsletter is on 11X17 paper. The electronic format will require
a new layout for a standard page size to view on the website. Don will try to
do a newsletter for mid March at this point. If Don has enough to fill 4
pages he will go ahead. |
|
Canada Day |
·
David gave a CD
of the Canada Day pictures to George. ·
The net cost of
the City not providing funding for Canada Day is about $6,000. ·
David provided
an aerial map of the Avalon site as well as the Trinity lot as a possible
location for fireworks and rides. ·
The partial
owners of Trinity seem to be open to the idea of having the rides. ·
The fireworks
could be launched over the pond. The pond is 400 meters across. |
|
Rinks |
The weather is
cooperating and things are running smoothly. Every rink has at least 4 rink
attendants. Paul provided the rink grants check to Don for $7,716, which
includes $750 for special events. The only pleasure rink is at Fallingbrook. |
|
Open Discussion |
·
Eric offered to
help put a Trillium grant proposal together, if the FCA is interested. ·
David will get
in touch with the Maple Ridge City Custodian to see if the FCA papers are
stored there. ·
The Citizen
Advocacy group sent an email looking for volunteers. We will include the
request in the Newsletter. Volunteer Awards: Zybina will check with
Ray Friel regarding dates in May. David and Paul volunteered to be on the
nomination committee. Zybina will confirm dates by email. |
