May 3^rd	We See
	Humming Birds last week

I don’t know the name of the shrub but it gets the humming birds every year – located on 1^st West

I saw 30 at once in this shrub

	Circus in town over weekend
	http://www.westcoastamusements.com/index.html All the rides etc on line plus the 50 year history

	Tennis Courts – nets up
	Within hours of the city crew putting up the tennis nets there were people in there playing – and have been most the times I have passed since then

	So where are the signs??
	How much did that meter cost? – It has been in there quite a while – now looks to be activated – but no signs telling people they have to pay – and no one is so far as I could tell – approximately 20 cars and none with tickets in window

	Kootenany Field as garden??
	KAPS was at City Council asking to use this field both for recreation and for a garden area I will return to this later – but more generally there are lots of unused city lots (laneways and undeveloped streets etc) that could be made into gardens – but as KAPS was asking there must be some sort of structure for doing this --- Rentals? Fences? A garden club per site?

	Kid Friendly town?
	That was another group at council --- I think they wanted to set up a committee that would scrutinize upcoming by-laws and policies --- but what exactly was not evident – yes if the City were doing a new subdivision – but I would suggest the Budget was really the place to get the inputs --- more later

	Measuring up
	Here is an example of a policy that did work – not only audible street light signals – but easy access as here where the wheel chair did not have to go over the curb but had easy ‘drive way’ – But the idea would be for the Kid Friendly to give City specifics that need changing over time. More later
