I am on 8 committees, plus I chair the Parks and Rec.Operations Committee. Its all been a very steep learning curve and I have enjoyed every minute of it thus far.
I hope to add to this blog periodically, but my experience thus far has that if folks want to discuss an issue and want answers they prefer a discussion almost immediately, hence I have been dealing with answering people either by email or via my cell.

I have spent a lot of time initially dealing with the deer cull issues. And now I will be working with the deer committee on community outreach/education/compliance issues. We have a very dedicated group on the deer committee and I am extremely thankful for that.
The Nature Park committee also has many dedicated volunteers on it. I am looking forward to working with everyone to keep the "nature" in the nature park.
The Kimberley Transportation committee will be hosting a transportation review by BC Transit soon. It should be interesting to see if Kimberley taxpayers want changes to the schedules, especially the seniors in Kimberley.
The SPARK Society is gearing up to reach out to Kimberley youth, with many new initiatives and programs applied for. Volunteers were also busy shovelling off the rood of the Spark centre last week, due to some nasty leaks. Thanks to the volunteers.
The Mark Creek Integrated Water Management committee will meet soon. They are seeking times that all the members can meet. The agenda is packed with items for discussion, so this will probably be a full day meeting.
I have also been heavily involved in meetings to prepare for public open house meetings regarding the Mark Creek Flume Replacement project. That is a huge project and public meetings are about to start.
The Sun Mine process continues to move forward with Mayor McRae at the helm. More info on the status of the Sun Mine should be forthcoming. It's a very complex project as well, so every step of the way forward is slow and with caution. More on this soon, I'm sure.
When I get a few extra minutes in my life, I go skiing. What a great little town we live in.
Send me an email or call me on my cell if you have any questions.
Cheers
Darryl
