With the AGM that was held in September, we now have a new Board of Directors. Welcome to those who are new to the board. We are looking forward to working with you and hearing your fresh and new ideas. I apologize that I am not there to get to meet and work together with you. I had to return to Ontario to help work on my family farm. I hope to work with you and to get to know you further upon my return.
It is with great sadness that I announce that Tracy Thomson, our Membership Coordinator and one of our dedicated board members, has decided to step down. Tracy has been a valuable member of the board who has been very dedicated. I was very much touched and blown away by her devotion to the community during the first stages of the COVID-19 pandemic. She organized the volunteers who went door-to-door to deliver flyers from the BTCA to announce our community support for those who needed it. Thank you so much for your contributions and your hard work. You will be missed. Tracy will continue as our Membership Coordinator until a replacement can be secured.
Would you like to see a cycle track in your neighbourhood? Right now, there is a petition circulating Banff Trail to build a separated cycle track along 20th Avenue NW (from Banff Trail Train Station) to 4 Street NE (Mount View School). More details are in this issue.
Do you have a Banff Trail Community Membership? At the 2018 AGM, your BTCA voted to set memberships to zero dollars. Yes, free. To get a membership, just provide your name, contact information, and let us know if you live within the Banff Trail neighbourhood boundaries to [email protected]. Memberships run from March to February and do not automatically renew. Please email to renew your membership for another year. For those interested in becoming a member for the first time, welcome!
If you have anything you’re interested in, don’t hesitate to get involved. Our meetings are always on the first Wednesday of the month from 7:00 to 9:00 pm. These meetings are now online via video. Feel free to call 403-282-2234. You are more than welcome to attend! The Banff Trail Community Association consists of a pretty awesome group of neighbours who are here to make Banff Trail a great place to be.
P.S. The Banff Trail Community Association needs you! We are in need of a BTCA Events Planner and a BTCA membership Coordinator. If you have any questions, please contact us!
