SIMBS 2001 ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

NEW PARKS PLANNER TO SPEAK ABOUT ACCESS TO TRAILS
Come to the AGM and hear Don Watmough of CRD Parks as the featured speaker at this years AGM. We have asked him to speak to us because CRD is in the midst of writing their Master Plan for new Park that contain the most public land suitable for trails. What better way to learn about the issues that relate to mountain bike access to trails than to hear it from the bureaucrat that makes the recommendations to CRD.

We will hear about CRD's view of potential conflicts with other user groups. We will learn about the environmental issues that affect which user groups get access to what land. This will determine which trails we get to ride for the next five to fifteen years!
