2.  Work completed to date

• Grant writing and presentions
• Approval from Recreation Sites and Trails BC for the land to put the building on 
• RDCK approval to start site prep
• Revised building size from 40' x 80' to 40'x 70' to allow more room to move at site. 
• Site Prep complete and getting close to ground breaking on footings. 
• Many volunteers and volunteer hours to get to this point thanks to everyone so far.

3.  Whats Next

• We are very close to digging footings.
• Acquire a building permit
• Still asking for any help with project be it through donations or in kind labour.  Our hope is to have someone that would be willing to coordinate the build of the shop starting with footings. If you can help with this please email [email protected] thank-you. 
• Thanks to all that have stepped up to date with funding and in kind labour donations as without your help we would not even be able to consider a project of this size.
