A DARE course was scheduled in earl y December but was postponed due to a death in the fa mily of one of the instructors. The course will apparently be going ahead in mid february and we are scheduled to have one candidate on the course, however as of this date there has been no confirmation of this training course goi ng ahead.

The Alberta Water Council, Current policy permits this type o f transfer as long as th e water is sa fely available from the source and the new withdrawal docs not af fect existing licensed water users. "A recent water I icence application raised signifi cant pub I ic concern about the movement o f water from one sub-basin to another within the same major river basin," said A lberta Environment M inister Rob Renner. "A s this government is decl icatecl to ensuring safe, secure, reliable water supplies into the future, l have asked the A lberta Water Council to determine if the current approach is still valid and what, if any, changes should be made to this policy and under w hat conditions. " The A lberta Water Council was appointed in May 2004 to provide direction and advice to the government, stakeholders and th e public around Water f or Life: Alberta's Strategy for Sustainability . T he Council is expected to provide its recommendations to th e Environment M inister this fall. In the meantime, A lberta Environment will continue to accept and process Water Act applications. Transfers between rivers in the same basin are not considered interbas in transfers, which require special approval.

REQUEST FROM LINDA PARE TO INSTALL A LIFT OR ELEVATOR IN ARENA - FOR CONSIDERATION. 3. MINUTES OF THE RECREATION AND CULTURE BOARD HELD JANUARY 31 , 2007- COUNCILOR MACDONALD TO REPORT. Mr. Tim Ainscough, Director of Operations 4943- 53 Street, lnnisfail, Alberta T4G 1A1 Mrs. Linda Pare 3423-51 A Avenue, lnnisfail, Alberta T4G 1H4 403-227-4960 February 1, 2007 Mr. Tim Ainscough, Director of Operations I spoke to you on the phone and we talked about the possibility of putting a lift or elevator in the arena. The wheelchair ramp in the concession area was a nice jester but it is far from adequate. When you sit out there you are not part of the game or event. During playoffs people stand between the glass and the boards making watching playoffs out of the question for the people in wheelchairs. When the windows are blacked out it again makes it impossible for people in wheelchairs to sit inside where it is warm on the wheelchair ramp. This happens when the ice show is on and it also happened when the curling was on. I find it hard to believe this is acceptable. When you are in a wheelchair you have no place to sit except on the other side of the boards at ice surface, where it is so very cold and impossible to sit for very long. A person in a wheelchair already has decreased circulation and should not be exposed to the cold. When you are an avid hockey fan and in a wheelchair if you choose to sit out where you are a part of the crowd, you freeze and you cannot even see the entire net. This is very poor treatment for anyone in a wheelchair. If anyone thinks this is humane, I would challenge him or her to go in a wheelchair to a hockey game or any function at our area and see what someone in a wheelchair has to endure. We should be embarrassed when someone in a wheelchair comes out to a function at our area. There is the flat area at the top of the bleachers where both ice surfaces can be viewed. What a lovely place for someone in a wheelchair but they cannot get up there without an elevator or lift. I would be more than willing to help fund raise the money if this is what is needed to make someone in a wheelchair more comfortable at our area. I truly feel there is a real need for a warmer place for people in wheelchairs to enjoy our sporting evens. Would it be possible for Marlin Styner, Community Development Coordinator of the Canadian Paraplegic Association for Central Alberta and myself to attend the town meeting February 12, 2007 to voice any concerns on this matter?
