Excellent FireSmart Event - many people who could really benefit from the program, were not here.

As time permits, I will compile my video footage for those who did not attend the FireSmart event.

Congratulations Jessica for winning the 50/50 - taking home $68.

Lots of good information. Of particular interest for me was the presentation by the OIB Forester who is working on the prescription for extending the spacing project on Baldy Road up to the ski area, and into the dead standing in the ski area. No timeline yet for the actual work, but the wheels are turning in that direction. FESBC has been awarded more funding - remains to be seen how that is allocated, and which applications are accepted.

Prior to the event, OIB Forester Aaron walked some of the ski area terrain with our own forester James. At a location approximately the elevation of Tower 5, between Powderkeg and Eagle Chair, there were many deer prints, and a very large cougar print.

I am currently assisting an owner who lives overseas. I took a series of photos for him to assess what needs doing on his property. Too many owners only look at their property when there is snow on the ground.

Carlene explained the RDKB programs including the rebate program that may be applied for after getting your free assessment, and doing a work plan/completing the planned work.
