They informed me of their focus for the I will be attending year and also gave me a second letter for the institution of a dog bylaw this annual meeting in for Quadra. This discussion has been going on for more than a year. Edmonton, this year to I now have two letters from two different heads of our detachment learn from my colleagues requesting the SRD to put a bylaw in place so they can enforce rules Sandi Spearing, photo by Don Mottershead across the country and to more effectively. The SRD is looking at this in this next year. The public share our experiences. I already have meetings lined up with Federal (even the dog owners) and the Safety Council have been asking for this officials including BC candidates in the next election and Justin Trudeau for some time. So it is time to at least look at it. to talk about the absolute need to get our ferry system back into the Ministry. The FCM policy wholeheartedly endorses this position in their policy papers. Communications (Internet, cell/data, phone) will also be high on my priority list.
