We need to take the time to discuss both of these and to develop strategies around them. </b></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Once we have taken the time to do that, I propose that we discuss as many of the other issues on the agenda as we have time to. However, I think we should begin with the following items since they are most pressing:</div><div class=""><ul class="MailOutline"><li class="">Business items but delay the organizational structure item to the next meeting</li><li class="">Hidden Valley - Gord Nicholls</li><li class="">Paris Pit Update & Paris-Galt moraine - Anne Ehrlich</li><li class="">Others, as time is available.</li><li class="">Set next meeting date.</li></ul></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">This is a time when substantial change is happening so it is essential that we make some plans. Looking forward to seeing all of you.
