We had a bit of a hiccup in that this report did not get into the meeting package. While I am assembling a report on the Provincials, AGM, etc. look this one over.

Particularly if you want to take and RO, CRO or TCI Course. Additionally, if you are already a TCI, look that part over too. Contact me soon for any of these sessions, thanks.
