There is now an ongoing search to bring to the Panel another environmental expert, even though the Panel had the services of Dr. W. Staudt during the most crucial part of evaluation of the Risk Assessment approach.

The Panel will present an Open House in Turner Valley on June 14th at the Flare 'n Derrick, from 3:00 - 7:00 PM, and hopes to get input and response from the public, by way of a survey which will be handed out, as well as online.

Website Update – stats unavailable Barb will have year-to-date
numbers for our next meeting. Barb did advise that the site was hacked into.
She was on the site several times and noticed it immediately. Repaired right away.

New Business:

7Wonders of Canada – our submission was not accepted although it made the
deadline. Barb will try to resubmit

AGM – need to look at having the AGM in September with the new year end being June probably best would be the regular meeting date. Maureen will write an article for the Gazette with help editing regarding the TVOS and the AGM.

Jim has advised us that the sign for Dingman #2 has to be fixed after the wind storm.
He has asked Al Frick to put it back up as soon as possible. We will have to pay for
