Here's a report on the progress of our new facilities, take from the club's February 2010 newsletter.

This was written by Dave Kaegi, President.

 

We are slowly marching ahead with our plans for the new Day Lodge, Custodian Residence and Maintenance Storage Facility. As you may recall, we have raised $350,000 ($75,000 from CBT, $125,000 from the CSRD Economic Opportunities Fund, and $150,000 for the City of Revelstoke’s Tourism Infrastructure fund). In addition, the Club will be investing $50,000 into the project. We have additional potential funding for wages from the Province of BC which at the time of writing, has still yet to be officially confirmed. However we are hopeful it will be approved.

 

We have officially submitted our development plan to the Province for review and approval of our proposed Licence of Occupation (LoC). The LoC is for a small area to cover the buildings and associated infrastructure. As one might expect, the process is taking longer than we would like but we are still hoping to begin construction this coming spring or summer. It is our goal to have the facilities up and running by the start of ski season next fall.

 

In the spring of 2009 the Directors asked club members about their preferences for future development at the Mount Mackenzie trailhead. Here are the results of the ballot.

 

 

The majority of members are in favour of moving ahead on this project. The results were as follows: Yes: 117 No: 37 "Yes" votes broken down by option: 93 votes, Option 4: Day lodge, maintenance storage facility, custodian’s residence, a trail-lighting system for Mickey Olson’s Trail and development of a mini hydro project on the unnamed creek that crosses the Mickey Olson trail. 5 votes, Option 3: Day lodge, maintenance storage facility, custodian’s residence, and trail-lighting system for Mickey Olson’s Trail. 10 votes, Option 2: Day lodge, maintenance storage facility and a custodian’s residence. 2 votes, Option 1: Day lodge and custodian’s residence. 7 votes: Voted "yes" but no option chosen.
