Saskatchewan Physical Education Association **advertising**

-eecom ecotour: need final numbers (and room booking lists) by the weekend please. Lot's of room on the bus at last count, but have been holding rooms/campsites that might sit empty put will have to pay for anyway... Possibility of squeezing the odd person in after that, but no guarantees. Hope that all board members who can possibly make it will be there! -ideas for ecotour 2012? Athabasca has been floated, but this would be expensive and very limited numbers. Could still be a possibility (need an organizer and an outfiiter?), or, Athabasca could be a separate project from the ecotour. Other ideas? -other initiatives: some overlap with Education (thankfully); WOW; winter camping, Any interest in a winter camping session in the Craik area, maybe in conjunction with some sort of winter fair/activities (cross-country skiing, sledding, kiting demonstrations and/or lessons, snow/ice sculpture, etc)? Could use Eco-Centre and/or Praxis International School as a base/partnership. Possible dates or other ideas?
 * Public & Families (Paul S. & Allison)**


 * Education (Dennie & Nicole)**

- EECOM 2011 Host Committee update: Jo, Peta, & Audrey - Leave No Trace Masters Training canoe trip update - Winter Camping? - Upgrade storage -Wings Over Wascana -Envisage -Canoe update -Bring idea of Peta leading Strategic Planning to Full Board -Project WET & Flying Wild update

Outstanding from last meeting: Peta thinks we could become more involved in promoting trainings at the U of RWhat if you became the "broker" for all of these trainings that students and the faculty at the U of R (and maybe other institutions) want. You could introduce yourself as that and I think things would roll on throughout the year.... at each training event you could advertise the possibilities of other trainings and see what comes of it. I am not saying that we/you have to present each training - obviously we dont do that... but to be the go to place to sign up, and to register a training would be great. And this is a really valuable service for SOEEA to perform. Eventually people with resources might come to us fr listing as part of our repertoir/stable of options and possibilities. This would keep Lizabeth (or someone in that kind of position) busy... or if that position fell through - maybe Leah could take it on as it could be a simple online registration.... I think if you called Lee-Ann from SPRA you might find a way to incorporate this kind of salary into the grant!!
 * Below Zero**


 * Karen** had suggested to ask Sask Environment to help fund this program - who can ask them about this? Should we decide on a few notes to put into a letter to do this? – not discussed
