8.      KRA Managers Report – Lorne Bumphrey

a.       Water report including meters and backup plan

The water system is running well and has been keeping up so far this season. There was some overheating of the pumps during the Folk fire, but there does not seem to be any permanent damage.

Water meters have been purchased and quotes for installation have been received. Klemp Plumbing & Heating is interested in completing the installation when it happens. No other interested bidders. It will be approximately $600 per household to purchase the water meter and have it installed. Lorne is still discussing how the billing and accounting will work for the water bills. Until this is finalized and KRA can manage the water bills and funds, the meters will not be installed.

b.      Roadway maintenance and signs

Grading will be completed as required.

Instead of graveling and dust treatment, reclaim will be placed on the roads in the community including McNabb. Lorne will talk to the Town of Regina Beach and the Golf Course to contribute to the reclaim placement. If they are not willing to contribute, the reclaim will start on McNabb at 4^th Street West.

The Town of Regina Beach completed dust treatment on McNabb near the Regina Beach resident homes. Lorne was not aware of this treatment being completed and would have had the road prepared properly before it was sprayed.

c.       Fire Bans

Lorne advised that he follows the Provincial Fire Report for fire bans.

d.      Tree trimming work bee

A work bee was completed in the community on May 9, 2026.

Let the minutes reflect that the report was received as information.

9.      Community Social Events

a)      A BBQ and concert is planned for Saturday, July 4^th. The BBQ will start at 4:30 and Kris Klyne will be the entertainment starting at 6:00 pm. These times will work well as the Regina Beach fireworks will be held that evening as well.

Please respond to info@kinookimaw.com if you are planning on attending so that food purchase can be coordinated.

b)      Social Coordinator is needed. Community members have indicated that they want more events planned. If you are interested in coordinating these events, please let any KRA member know.

c)      The Annual Christmas Party will be held on December 5, 2026. More details will come closer to the event.

10.  Lease Pursuit Sub-Committee

Craig Matt provided an update on the committee’s actions to date.

Lease Committee is comprised of Mervyn Lang, Scott Siemens, Garry Tramer, Michelle Bley, and Dennis Derkacht

The first meeting was March 5, 2026, and mainly information gathering.  The Sub-Committee has 4 current pathways in play

a)      Contact Wayne Morris and set up a meeting with the Chair of the KBA to discuss this matter and solutions. Dennis has been trying to set up a meeting with Wayne and the KBA with no luck to date.

b)      Mervyn discussed the topic of the lease with Andrew Scheer.   Andrew expressed interest in helping us so we would like to get a meeting with him. We know he's not our MP, but Fraser Tolmie has proven to be uninterested in our issue – so far. Mervyn has been trying to get a meeting with Andrew Sheer and although he's been getting positive responses, there has been no meeting date set.

c)      Documents have been released that the 8th band has been named a beneficiary of IR80, so the Sub-Committee have been in contact with Indigenous Services Canada to get more information about that announcement as well as any meetings after that, which we know of one from June of last year. Michelle has been emailing ISC for but hasn't received any responses to date

d)      Mandy Gull-Masty is the Minister of Indigenous Services Canada and will be directly involved in our lease situation.  One of our residents has a personal inroad to her Policy Advisor and has made successful contact with them but no meetings have been arranged yet.

The Sub-Committee want to see where these 4 connections took them before contacting other organizations.

If anyone has contacts or leads, they would welcome the help.
