<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Thanks for the good Zoom meeting on Thursday afternoon. It sounds like a plan is coming together for the year ahead and the issues that we need to address.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Attached below please find a copy of the Region of Waterloo report opposing Greenbelt expansion from back in the Spring.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">As discussed - I will reach out to Regional Chair Karen Redman to see what I can learn</div>
<div class=""><span class="x_x_Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"></span>- I will reach out to Ella in Brant and Mike in Guelph to better understand their future needs</div>
<div class=""><span class="x_x_Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"></span>- I will drop the cheque from the Greenbelt Foundation to Greg so he can deposit it in our account</div>
<div class=""><span class="x_x_Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"></span>- I will draft an update to the GREN membership and circulate it for your feedback in the next day or two</div>
<div class=""><span class="x_x_Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"></span>- I will continue to work with Scott Wicken on our GREN website update (he hopes to get the next version working within a week)</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Let me know any questions or ideas.</div>
