*Presented at the North Shore Safety Council meeting Dec-4 about HUB's School Education programs that are available.
* Met on January 29 with Natalie Corbo at City of North Vancouver to understand how HUB ride programs were funded at schools in the City. 
* Next steps are to set up meeting with Communications Manager at North Van School District and with Transportation Planner at DNV to see how we can get school buy-in and funding in the DNV.
*Communication Managers at SD44 are now Maria Spitale-Leisk and Taralee Hallson.   They took over for Deneka Michaud.  Meeting was to be scheduled at the end of April, but this has now been put off until the next school year.  
*Samantha Morrison – NVRC – has obtained grants previously for physical literacy.  She suggested Viasport.ca, a provincial non-profit advocacy group for sport, as a possible source for grants.    
*Paul set up a meeting with DWV, Emily Willobee, Transportation/Engineering; Policy and Planning –
**Tammy and Paul met with Emily on March 13, 2020.  DWV has programs that it funds and offers to schools.  The programs are defined by what the schools are interested in.  Emily encourages NS HUB to meet with SD45 to provide an overview of their bike education programs.  Emily is willing to be present.
*Due to COVID-19, all discussions with schools are on hold.  
*The May HUB newsletter indicated their Learn 2 Ride course will be an on line course, possibly in early June. Sign up for notification is available.  This is a modified  course designed for ages 9-12 years old and covers cycling safely and confidently around your neighbourhood.

**Anthem Seymour Estates - Lytton Ave (opposite Ron Andrews Recreation Centre ) scheduled for public hearing September 14. This will be the first reading. To participate, send email to James Gordon, Manager of administrative services, gordonja@dnv.org 
*Seymour Estates redevelopment proposal received DNV Council approval to proceed to a public hearing.
**The public hearing was conducted virtually due to Covid but because of technical glitches was aborted halfway and is now postponed to 15 December. 
*Lower Lynn Development 
**Redevelopment applications are in the pipeline for Oxford Street. Expect some of these to be approved in the new year as they will be market rentals and below markets apartments. Being close to Phibbs, they will minimize parking requirements. A proposed redevelopment at 1515-1555 Oxford St with 134 units on six storeys with 114 underground parking spaces and 216 spaces for bicycle spaces for residents and visitors. Ebike charging was mentioned at the council presentation. The project got a good reception.
**Oxford Street will have bike paths both sides connecting with paths on Mountain Hwy. 
**It was noted that these developments will be concurrent with the Phibbs Exchange upgrade which suggests it could become a significant bottleneck.
