Monday evening, 26-Sept, Wayne and myself spoke to the Fort Macleod council. Basically it was a thank you for allowing us the privilege to use the Fort Macleod airport for the 2016 SASC season events.
•Thank you for allowing the SASC the privilege to use the airport venue for our 2016 events. 12 successful event days this year, over 100 different participants from across western Canada, in excess of 360 participants over the 6 weekend events.
•The SASC implemented measures in 2016 to address previous concerns. 10:00 am start times at all events, 93 db sound limit on participant vehicles, port-a-potties, and zero tolerance to off site stunting, speeding, general bad behavior in and around the town. Sue (Chief Administrative Officer) commented that there were zero complaints this year to our activities. Nice to hear.
•And in closing we invited all council to come out, see what we’re all about, this Saturday at our Fort Macleod Appreciation event. An ad has been placed in tomorrow’s Macleod Gazette inviting public at large as well.
All in all, we were well received, as such the venue is tentatively secured for next year, good work everyone. We need to continue to be outstanding users of the airport.
