Director Allan Patton informed the Parks Board that the Regional District had concluded an agreement for maintenance of the hike and bike path with the provincial government. The agreement provides some limited access to the dyke area to cut grass along the path. Removal of trees, limbs and debris would remain in government hands.

In the conversation it was mentioned that the directors of the disbanded Hike and Bike Society have $50 thousand in their bank account that could be used for the expansion of a paved area from Rd 9 to Rd 22 but this would be a project for the future.

Background item from May 24 meeting:

A delegation of two staff members of the provincial government appeared as a delegation speaking to the issue of a license of occupation for the hike and bike trail. Shaun Reimer from the Lands and Forest Ministry stated that a simple agreement could be hammered out with the Regional District in a couple of weeks and everyone at the meeting looked forward to that day when the Park Board could provide minimal maintenance on the paved trail.
