The Regular Meeting of Council was held on March 14, 2023 at the Village office and via Zoom. 9 people attended in-person.

Pump Track. Council authorized the usage of a portion of 221 Shepherd Road for the purposes of constructing a pump track to be funded and coordinated by volunteers of the Youth Action Committee on Village property located behind the Art Holding Memorial Arena. Council also directed staff to obtain any necessary agreements or insurance – with an estimated cost not to exceed $800 – and stipulated that any fundraising amounts that exceed the cost of construction be allocated towards insurance and signage costs.

Chase Environmental Action Society – Committee Structure. Council established the Chase Climate Action Committee as a Select Committee of Council and appointed Councillor Herman and Councillor Connett as Council liaisons. Council also directed staff to advertise for five members of the public to sit on the committee and requested that the Chase Environmental Action Society review applications and provide recommendations for Council’s consideration. Council also directed the CAO to work with members of the new committee to draft terms of reference to be adopted by the committee and forwarded to Council for ratification.

Chase Canada Academy – Support Letter Request. Council approved the issuance of a letter of support to Harwinder Sandhu, Parliamentary Secretary for Seniors’ Services and LongTerm Care, in support of Chase Canada Academy’s request for $185,000 in onetime seed funding from the province and directed that the letter be copied to the MLA for Kamloops-South Thompson.
