Electronic Newsletter
and
Communications
We thank all those members who have supplied us with their email addresses. Our website, electronic newsletters and email are the easiest, cheapest and most environmentally friendly way of communicating with our members and supporters. We are also looking at amending our original by-laws to allow notification of members of AGM’s by email rather than by ordinary mail. In order to ensure timely and effective communication and notices to our members, please continue sending your updated email addresses to bchorrey@telusplanet.net.

Thanks to our volunteer webmaster, Pat Marshall, our website continues to be our best way to communicate with our members and the general public. Check it for detailed information on Hugh Magill’s submissions to the City regarding the Canada Olympic Park and Adjacent Lands Area Structure Plan and the proposed Belvedere Ranch Development. Pat is always eager to receive updated photos of the Slopes. Any photos that you can email or send her would be appreciated and will help to keep our website fresh for visitors.
     
 
Vigilance
 
  If you become aware of any proposals, development risks or potential impacts to the Slopes, please let us know.
The City administration is sometimes not good about notifying us about proposals or plans and there are a lot of different departments and functions that could impact the Slopes.
People in the community, particularly in communities that border the Slopes are our eyes and ears to ensure that we are kept informed and involved.
Please phone or drop us an email if you see or hear of anything of concern for PSPS.
