Beaver Hills Initive Study - BHI
There are actually 2 studies going at the same time
Survey.[/B]
1 - Beaver Hills Initive Study - BHI
2 - County of Strathcona Trail Strategy Vested Stakeholders Group. See link to Strathcona Trail thread
These studies have both already gone to Consulting firms and we did receive a study package for review and comments. We have been invited to sit in as an ORGANIZED sports group for consultation process on both studies.
The first rounds of discussion started in November and will run though to the spring of 2011.
On that note this is a very structured process and I will try to keep everyone in the loop and up to speed. I will post what I have received but the first meetings are closed door for only the selected ORGANIZED sports have been invited for input.
Meeting times and locations will be given out when the consultants ask for general public input - Possibly Early December
