Progress Update

This update was sent to all Facebook fans

*Community Meetings*

We're almost through the first round of information sessions. Be sure to check out the summaries and photos of all the meetings on our news feed: http://statimchydro.posterous.com/

The second round of meetings will start in February, and all the locations are being posted to the website, and flyers are going out to communities as we get nearer to the dates.

*Community Coordinators*

We're pleased to announce that the community coordinators are now in place. The coordinators work in each of the 11 communities and are in charge of getting information out to members. We're very excited about this!

*Toll Free Number*

Some people reported that the toll free number was a fax number. We found the problem - the wrong number was on the website! That is fixed. We also added a cell phone, so anyone who calls the toll free number will first go through to the office, and if there is no answer the call will go through to the cell. The plan is to have someone answer at all times, as much as possible.

*E-mail*

The info@statimchydro.ca now goes through to a shared e-mail that we all have access to - so we'll be answering questions better (it used to forward to all our emails, now we all share one email).

*Website*

We added pages for each community at http://www.statimchydro.ca/communities

The website will be undergoing a HUGE UPGRADE over the next 4 weeks. We'll be making it even more visual, adding a lot more content, and make it even easier to navigate.

*Future meetings and plans*

The meetings have gone very well, and we've received a number of requests for more meetings. Here are the plans so far:

  • We will be adding a few extra urban meetings, and are still inviting interest for a potential meeting on Vancouver Island
  • We will be holding a youth-only meeting on Feb 19th in Lillooet and may have more in other locations
  • We will plan a conference call and/or online chats for members who live far from home, and can't make a meeting
  • Individual communities will be holding their own meetings to go over their settlements in detail, and to discuss ideas and plans for their future
  • The last few meetings have been *very* well attended, and future meetings will be better prepared for large turnouts

Thank you for your time, and thanks for your support as we widen our communication.

Regards,

Jacob Beaton
