President’s report-

Athletics Canada. It would be important to build a partnership to get funding. Mike will continue to meet and discuss this matter with Athletics Canada.

- Mike has met with Andy Walker from Athletics PEI; they want to claim us as members. Athletics do not have numbers so adding us in would benefit funding. Fees should stay the same and we would have affiliation status.

- Training for Racers @ every level could be an example of what can happen with athletics PEI;

Trainers,coaching certification could be a paid position

- Timex Series – Possibility of RR coming on and using an existing 10K course or creating a new course to be part of the series ( 2015). There will be a new document coming for 2015.
