Report from the Board

Bruce Cody, President

  • Fire & Safety: the Fire Truck was sold and a new Fire and Safety trailer is now equipped. A new AED has been purchased and installed in a temperature-controlled enclosure.
  • Budget to extend the Emergency Alarm system has been approved and will be implemented. Currently 6 medical volunteers assist with first aid — reminder to always call 9-1-1 first in an emergency.
  • Investigating a new email alert system with a separate notification for first aid only. Fire safety training continues to be offered.
  • Snow clearing was provided to the main KVCA roads last winter; a question from the floor about plowing side streets was answered — KVCA has only plowed main streets and will continue to do so. Street sweeping and weed spraying still being investigated.
  • A request from a volunteer to take over KVCA social organization — a committee would be most beneficial.

Report from the Green Space Development Committee

Leanne Gress-Blue

  • All 3 motions put forth from the GSDC were defeated — possibly an issue with how the motions were worded in the Strata 771 SGM. Nothing can move forward unless development is approved by Strata 771.
  • Discussions continue with Strata 771; the next Strata 771 AGM is in the fall.
