New Business:
1. Black Badge Course held on May 17 & 18 hosted by Dwayne K. went well overall. They appreciated the use of
the Indoor Range for Saturday as the weather was not great. They held a mini match at the end of the course
which was good practice for those attending the course. Non members paid for a guest range pass.

Narrow Lake Conservation Camp. MOTION by Larry C. to reimburse Carson Rokosh-Brick for his fuel costs to
attend NLCC as a counselor for one week this summer, seconded by Claire S., motion carried.
3. Narrow Lake Conservation Camp built a new kitchen last year and is now having issues with the piles the kitchen
was built on. We donated to help build the kitchen last year, Dwayne D. is going to gather more information.
4. Road and ditch work has been delayed; we may have to source another company to get the work completed.
Dwayne D. is handling this. Brick around the one archway post was damaged while the road was being graded.
There was a post laying in the ground by the archway post, that the grader blade hit which deflected post into
the brick on the archway.
5. There is one available position for a one-year director. MOTION by Jackie F. to appoint Claire Schielke for the
open director’s position which will expire at the next AGM, seconded by Daniel A., motion carried.

Committee Reports:
Memberships – 935 LDFGA, 419 Outdoor, 160 Indoor. With upcoming Alberta hunting draws and fishing seasons an email will be sent out with the reminder to renew memberships. We need to reach those who are not interested in fishing or hunting but share an interest in our conservation values. Carlo M. discussed there is also a running community that would utilize running trails if we were able to make trails safely avoiding the outdoor ranges. When we host events, it would be beneficial to have board members in clothing with our logo on it as most of the board members do not have anything. A marketing committee was formed with Bill A., Jackie F., Fiona M., Carlo M. and Marissa M., No chair of this committee yet.

Fundraising – There was a motion made prior to the Golf Car raffle. We still have the rifle, Dwayne D., will look for items to pair with the rifle. Jackie F. has some wildlife prints that could be donated if we would like them.
Youth Outdoor Activity Day – This year’s event is June 20 & 21. There are significantly less students applying this year, only 39 kids so far. It may be just a one-day event this year; Bill A. will manage this decision. Preparations are going well otherwise.

Conservation Camp – We have two youth to go to the Alberta camp which are Kori M. and Oakleigh G.

Scholarships – One application received but they are not attending for Environmental Sciences/Conservation so they do not qualify.

Merchandise – NR

Habitat/Gordon Leslie Project/Trout Ponds/Foster Property – Dwayne D. and Darrell P. will look into more water testing at the McDougall Pond. Will try to get the DO meter back and take more readings when we add chemical to the water. The porta potty has been placed at the West pond and will be there for 6 months. Fish will be coming from Cold Lake Hatchery May 27. Chemical was deposited into both ponds on May 25th. The air stones were moved back to summer positions. The aeration unit was not pumping properly; it may need to be taken down again. If any one is interested in being the steward for the AWF/ACA Gordon Leslie Property at Marwayne please contact Dwayne.

Fish Fry – Next event Thursday April 22, 2027.

Indoor Range – There will be a garage clean up organized by Dwayne D. soon. To get a monitor on the propane tank to monitor the propane level they can do it for a fee for installation and monitoring.

MOTION by Jackie F. to have the propane tank at the Indoor Range emptied, removed and install a new rental tank, seconded by Claire S., motion carried.

Outdoor Range – No report back from CFO inspection. Signs need to be put up with land coordinates etc. Keith has booked a Black Badge course on June 13 & 14; there are nine registered for the course. Dwayne D. and Marissa M. met and went through the reporting process for the fob system.
