Well here we are in another year, soon to be heading into Festival season.
We just held our “Board Camp” on the weekend of January 11/12 in North Vancouver.  Now I don’t camp, and certainly wouldn’t in January, but for some reason that I am not aware of that is what we call our full Board meeting.

We had full attendance and accomplished a lot that weekend.  The biggest thing was the reinstatement of the Skeena Zone.  Last summer at the Mainstage meeting we dissolved the zone as there had not been a SKZ festival for 4 years. Our rationale was that if there were clubs that wanted to participate in festival they could do so with the CIZ festival.

Since that decision we have been working with Marianne Brorup Weston and Allison Haley to consider reinstating the zone with new zone board members.

At Board camp the Board voted to reinstate the Zone and to provide funding assistance for an instructor tour.

Since the Board meeting Marianne has been elected as the new zone chair.  Plans are coming together for the instructor tour, and planning is already underway for the festival.
