Treasurer Report

Executive Assistant Report Cheques signed Holidays Lizabeth's contract Retreat date Online payment Strengthening Recreation Organizations Grant Canoe Certification - 5 people - Paul and I both stopped in for avisit Lizabeth - Facilitator of the Year and CWRA Conference - The CWRA piece is in limbo until Ed Dean comes back so I really can’t deal with that right now anyway. It will have to be settled over the summer. The Facilitator of the Year Award is a proposal to CWRA which I still have to do and it will be this summer. It was discussed at the April meeting and approved in principal and is tied in with their conference in May 2013. The Facilitator of the Year Award for Flying WILD has already been nominated and the certificate will come in the mail. I will handle getting it framed (inexpensive document frame) and presented.

Other Next Envisage deadline June 20 To Make a Farm Screenings Treasurer search Getting SOEEA stuff from Mark Wilson Leave No Trace - Clearwater and SIAST - From Vin at Clearwater - I know your group had thought about paddling the sand dunes but how would they feel about maybe doing the Master Educator Course on the Mclellan Lakes Chain and staying a couple of nights at an Eco Lodge? First part of August is looking good for dates but, I will have to look a little closer. I can figure out pricing and the lodge would be Forest House (owned by my friend Ric) and you can find how amazing it is online. I am also working at getting Ric involved in Leave No Trace and he may have a couple of staff that would like to take the course. I know its a little further up north but, it should be on the bucket list of canoe trips. I do offer paddle canada courses and if you let me know what courses you would be intrested in we can definately arrange them, I also can do lifeguard courses, and wilderness first aid. We are also working with a group to get a canoe tripping instructors course done and if you have some folks interested I maybe could do a combination with the Master Educator depending on what my instructors are up too.
