We need your input and ideas for the trails in the Salmo Valley. The board of directors is putting together a plan for the next 3-5 years and we want to know what you would like to see more of. To gather your feedback, we’re using a tool called Thoughtexchange. All of our voices matter, so your participation is crucial and valued.
Click here to participate: https://my.thoughtexchange.com/scroll/253073817
You’ll be asked a few multiple choice questions, one open-ended question, then to consider and assign stars to some of the ideas shared by others (20 to 30 is ideal), and learn what’s important to the group. You can rate as many thoughts as you’d like before moving on to Discover where you can see all the thoughts sorted by the average star rating.
Your thoughts and stars are confidential. You can come back as often as you’d like to participate and, in fact, we ask that you do come back to star some of the new ideas shared since you first participated. The ratings will help us understand the most important areas to focus on for trail development in the coming years
Participation will be open until the end of the day on January 17, 2021 .
If you need technical help, please call Thoughtexchange at 1-800-361-9027 ext. 4 or email help@thoughtexchange.com
Thank you in advance for your help and input.

In lieu of this year’s DOT Night, the RDCK is creating a public engagement tool from MAY 1 – MAY 11.
Please support the Trail Society and other local non-profit societies by giving your feedback.
More information:
Public engagement is an integral part of the CBT CIP/AAP process. In light of the current restrictions on public gatherings, the RDCK staff have worked closely with the Columbia Basin Trust to develop an online engagement tool to ensure the grant process moves forward.
This tool with allow for the public to give their feedback on proposed projects for the area in which they live. Please note that this is not a voting system, but a way for the public to provide the feedback on projects they feel are most important to the community in which they reside.
The public engagement period will be from May 1, 2020 at 8:00 a.m. to May 11, 2020 at 8:00 a.m.
The public engagement tool will be available on the RDCK website at http://rdck.ca/cip-aap.
