Busy times for conference centre
Centre welcomes BC Land Surveyors next week C AROLYN GR ANT Bulletin Editor
Staff at the Kimberley Conference and Athlete Training Centre are preparing to welcome over 200 land surveyors and their partners next week from March 2 to 4. The Association for BC Land Surveyors will
hold their Annual General Meeting and professional development days at the Conference Centre. Of course with the location of the conference centre a stone’s throw from the chair lift, there will likely be a little skiing going on as well, says conference centre manager Grant Sharam. Many of the Association members are bringing J. RIGHTON PHOTO their families and plan to hit the slopes before and What a great way to start the playoffs. A big win over Fernie and, just prior to the game, receiving the banner as regular season champs of the Eddie Mountain Division. Above, Phil Iddon, VP of the Eddie Mountain Division presents the banner to Captain after meetings. See Page 4 Jason Richter and Nitros president Chad Koran.
