·        Player Movement Alberni Valley: -        Bantam Player to peewee, small girl, played novice last year because of size. Would like to play one year of peewee before having to move up to bantam next season. David Hiltz, Lissa Punnett M/S/C

·        Saanich- has 2nd year player, wants to address where he plays. Lives in the Saanich catchment, but parents claim they live in JDF catchment, with is currently a cement slab waiting for a future home to be built. Motion that we the commission direct this player back to his proper association (Saanich) to register for this playing season. Carmen Schmidbauer, Steve Sharples M/S/C. Saanich abstained from this vote.

·        Kerry Park Bill. This bill is from last season’s play-off in Kerry Park, which no one seems to want to pay. Please pay it as Tammy is getting creditors phoning her for this bill as well as letters from creditors.
