Time rolls ON!

A little cooler today but still nice for this time of year in Alberta, almost 19C (65F), we are just happy to not have snow! The first camper’s are arriving today and things are ready, Woody found trees down on the trails but has not had time to cut them up, many people frequent the trails in this park on a daily basis but most are okay with stepping over trees, but will take the time to report any fallen trees they come across which we are appreciate as whenever there is a wind you can bet there are trees that have fallen. The rule is if it crosses a trail buck it up and throw aside or gather it up for firewood, if it falls in the bush leave it there for nature to process naturally back to soil. Josie dropped in today with the summer schedule and a quick visit, Norm will be over later for a meeting with Woody regarding new guidelines for volunteers, etc, that have been set up by Alberta Parks and Recreation who oversee this park, the money donated by the person who donated the land for this park and also fund projects, etc. for this park (Onoway Fish and Game Association Manage the Park) meaning they do all the work as well as fund raise for this park but are bound by Alberta Parks and Recreation. Not sure I have made that clear but at any rate Onoway Fish and Game Association are our boss and Parks and Recreation are their bosses in a sense. Onoway Fish and Game have secured some funds to build a garage this season and that is exciting news, we will be able to store the tractors and other items here at the park which will be so much easier than always having to drive them down to the Gun Range, thank you Onoway Fish and Game. The trees that will be needed to take down are already marked and the contractors to get the area ready are all set to go! The garage will be completed by July 31st for sure as that is a requirement of the funding it is special chunk of money from another Alberta Government Department. AWESOME!
