== PCSAR President's Report ==
{{member|Igor Grujic}} presented an oral report.

Igor thanked the many people that kept Pincher SAR functioning as it and we all were stressed by the pandemic.

There were 16 incidents last year.

These numbers are about twice as high as previous years.
We anticipate numbers to stay high as new people enter the backcountry due to the pandemic.

{{member|Sabrina Ryans}} presented the financial statements.

'''Carried.'''
===Auditors Report===

The auditors have not yet had a chance to conduct the audit but the membership will be emailed when complete.

== Questions and Answers ==
A question was raised about what has happened about the ideas brought forward during the recent critiques.
Brett reported that we use an independent critique chair who prepares a report including all the suggestions for improvement.
These are forwarded to the board and the identified committees.
The preplan committee has reviewed the suggestions referred to it, prioritized them and started to develop a work plan on the highest priority.
The board has not yet been able to consider the suggestions, but will likely start to address at the next meeting.
All suggestions are recorded on the web site under the critique for the incident, and members can track the discussion and action on individual suggestions.
Nick noted that there has been individual discussions on specific suggestions, including the development of an alpine specialty team
and creating an online platform for learning.

Brett was asked about his involvement on the SAR Alberta board.
He reported that he was recently re-elected as the Deputy Director for the South Region for a two year term.
He returned to the board a few years ago in order to make sure that there was a voice on the provincial board
for teams like Pincher SAR.
Historically the perspective of rural teams like Pincher SAR have at times been missing at the provincial board
resulting in policies that have a significant adverse effect on our team.

== Elections ==
'''Moved''' by Lucas, seconded by Nick, that {{member|Sabrina Ryans}} act as Elections Officer.
'''Carried.'''

* PCSAR President: {{member|Nick Morantz}}
