GREN Minutes – Dec. 8, 2016

Christmas Party and Discussion of Hidden Valley

At 5 Park West in Elmira



We had a short meeting before the party to discuss Gord Nicholls’ proposal for the Expansion of the Hidden Valley Protected Area. This document was sent out to GREN before the meeting. 

·        Various options for protecting the area were brought forward—land trust, making a business case, a whole-neighbourhood plan, etc. 

·        Noted that the City of Kitchener has struck a committee to discuss the matter

·        Noted that the Region has asked its road engineer to see how the LRT could fit in the area

·        Proposed that GREN invite someone from the Region to discuss Hidden Valley with us

·        Noted that GREN needs to decide what kind of management we would like and plan a strategy to achieve it

·        Yvonne agreed to be the point person for an informal steering committee, and John J, Deb S, Kevin T, Deaun M, Bob B and Gord N volunteered for the committee.



Then a good time, with good food, was had by all.  Merry Christmas, everyone.
