Local Government

“ATV and dirt bike complaints
With the good weather now upon us, the detachment is receiving more complaints of dirt bikes and all-terrain vehicles being driven on the road, in many cases, with no insurance and no helmets. The detachment will be concentrating some effort this summer to conduct patrols to deal with these types of complaints. Due to the nature of these types of complaints, some outside-the-box enforcement tactics will have to be employed. Charges will be laid, vehicles will be seized.”
Erosion
– Wes Funk (summary of a written report) Vast Resources will produce a draft Scope of Work and Remediation Plan for the North and South Beach Accesses by the end of April. This might provide enough time to solicit quotes for the work prior to the AGM.
Easter Egg Hunt (follow-up)
– Wendy Coombs We had over 35 children participate in the Columbia Ridge Estates Easter Egg Hunt this year. The Easter Bunny has 13 hiding spots that sent the children running all over the community for over an hour. Thanks to Yi-Nei Kao for getting things organized and all the parents for making this a great event. Wendy Coombs had a blast being the Easter BunnyÂ’s helper this year. This is a fun tradition that we can look forward to year after year. We may consider increasing the age limit, as some of the 10 year olds were already feeling sad about not being included next year. Great spirit!
