Well, these are certainly interesting times. Since our last newsletter, the world has seemed to turn upside down. I urge everyone to remain calm, use common sense, and wash your hands. We have decided not to lose our place for our Golf Tournament by delaying it, however as we get closer to the date, we will be monitoring the situation and at that time move it if necessary, but for now business as usual. It would be nice if we could say business as usual for the industry, but we need to be patient and hang on.

Here we are in a new year and a new decade. The last few years have not been the best for our province, but I believe we are all looking forward to better times as we enter this new decade.

We are once again moving into trying times with the new Energy Code. At our next meeting, the board will discuss the possibility of another informative session on this subject.

I am pleased to announce that after your request at the AGM to have additional training available we were successful in getting Metl-Span to host a training course in Edmonton this summer. I believe in talking to Metl-Span this could become a regular thing if the interest is there. We need to ensure that we fill the class and the AMBA board will continue with ongoing discussions with Metl-Span.
