We have also contacted Alberta TrailNet. We (The Village of Beiseker) will try to help the museum get itself going in any way except financially! We cannot afford to support the museum with an injection of cash! As far as recovering the site goes, we're in a holding pattern at the moment. Stay tuned.Ray Courtmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13643220772745933250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3774469681419460608.post-65609335062544497932014-04-25T18:46:09.855-06:002014-04-25T18:46:09.855-06:00If the society's executive is as hard to get a...If the society's executive is as hard to get ahold of as you say, one must assume that it's inactive - or at least, lacking in members.<br /><br />But if the society were to dissolve or go kaput, what then? That seems to be the direction they're going. Would the village have to try and recover the site - or would Alberta TrailNet be left to clean it up?Rhyshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00933971231139659284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3774469681419460608.post-44579004790231808352014-04-24T16:46:08.064-06:002014-04-24T16:46:08.064-06:00Fred keeps referring to a "society" in t...Fred keeps referring to a "society" in the Rocky View Weekly interview so we must assume that it is a registered society. Any contingency plan would have to be drawn up by that society and Alberta TrailNet who were given the land on which the museum sits. The Village of Beiseker has nothing to do with it except that we issue the building and development permits and the structure and collection in its present state and location contravenes a number of village bylaws!Ray Courtmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13643220772745933250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3774469681419460608.post-52974777819515967412014-04-24T14:23:30.000-06:002014-04-24T14:23:30.000-06:00It almost appears as though Fred Walters is the so...It almost appears as though Fred Walters is the sole remaining person involved with this museum project. Is their society still registered?<br /><br />While the project has progressed quite a bit already, it may end up being abandoned all the same, due to a lack of interest. What sort of contingency would there be in that event? It would be a shame to have this collection fall further into disrepair and become a more serious eyesore, right in the middle of the village.Rhyshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00933971231139659284noreply@blogger.com
