* Hasn't been updated recently
*
* Crowdfunding or social media donation appeals - launched crowdfunding in October
** Chris to continue pushing that out
** Important to push this out in summer months when people are using our services and generally feel positively about Bike Edmonton
* Casino
** Very successful, despite difficulty finding volunteers to be there
** On the register for holding another casino 2 years from now (Hoping to have the casino one quarter of the year earlier)
* Tune-ups
** Fewer requests for tune-ups from community organizations, though commercial requests have not decreased
* Alberta Transportation Grant Received
** Expected to report fully on our programs
* Canada Bikes
** Paths for People applied for a grant, and after a reshuffle, passed the grant to Bike Edmonton.
** We'll try to meet the goals for that grant, through our current programming and services
* EcoTrust
** Leveraged Canada Bikes grant to apply for EcoTrust grant
** A scavenger hunt will be held to support the goal of Explore Edmonton
** Could consider partnering with Edmonton Tourism for the scavenger hunt
* Courses
** Doing very well this year
* Corporate sponsorship
** Working with Edmonton business to provide support to YESS to sponsor bike building in youth
** Contributions for Bike Edmonton's programs that might involve an addition to the program name (i.e., the Spoke - sponsored by ____).  Could be good for income for the programs, but less good for optics. If we want money, we might need to go outside of our comfort zone.  Sponsorship year-after-year is unlikely for Bike Edmonton, due to the fact that we're not charitable. Should revisit this topic, specifically in the context of the corporate sponsorship (talk with Mark).
