=== Advocacy Committee Report ===
*Keith, Tom, and Sarah had a meeting last month re: snow and ice.
*Reinier talked to Mark Connolly of the Cycling Guide App-- wants to come to Edmonton, needs volunteers to try out the routes and would need $10k to work on bringing it to Edmonton and $36k total. Rainier was skeptical at first given that there are many navigation apps, but he says it's based on a bicycle comfort score for each route and an algorithm that works with Open Streetmap. Has a lot of monthly users in Ottawa. Rainier will get feedback from those in Ontario and work on connecting them with Edmonton partners.
*OSFM reached out to us about making the bike valet happen again. They don't have a lot of money; but we could work together to get OSBA on board again and look for grants. A few thousand dollars would be a nicer-looking and more-secure fence. They'd like us to be open for 4 hours on Sunday in addition to the 8h on Saturday.
*Reinier, Marcel and Karl have agreed to prepare a season report in the next 2 weeks. We may need some advocacy committee budget (up to $200) to make the report pretty and give in-kind payments to volunteers for helping us.
