Press Release - Tuesday, June 27, 2006

On Tuesday, July 4th 2006 the Whistler Skateboard Association will be having it’s inaugural board meeting. Anyone and everyone involved, or concerned, with the local skateboard community is invited to come observe and more importantly, contribute to the meeting. The WSA is involved in the creation and maintenance of the Creekside Underground Skatepark and at the meeting we will be discussing ways we can use the generous $10,000 grant given to us by the Whistler/Blackcomb Foundation. Also on the agenda is the election of our first board, with President, Vice-President, Secretary and Treasurer positions available. These positions will be open to anyone who feels they are qualified and will be elected by general voting. As well, we will be discussing ways to improve the skateboarder community’s presence in Whistler, which will hopefully lead to more events and facilities for us to enjoy.

Once again, anyone who feels they would be a positive contribution to, or even just wants to observe, this meeting is encouraged to come to Maurice Young Millennium Place on Tuesday July 4th 2006 at 7:30 in the boardroom. We look forward to seeing you there.

Lucky for us it was a nice bright cool day. Locals, tourists and campers came out to outdoor park to let loose and have a good time. The WSA brought out a BBQ and cooked up some hot dogs and hamburgers for the skaters and any one who was hungry. Local artist Stan Matwychuk even put a wheat canvas on the steep part of the 9ft.

Enjoy the pics.
