A new Strata Board has been assembled as of

April 22, 2020.

Your new Board of Directors are:

Board President: David Bailey

Going into my second

year on the Strata

board, I find myself in

the Strata President

role. My initial thought

when I joined the

board last year was to

assist on various pro-

jects and be low profile, but here I am... The

current board members bring a good mix of

knowledge and experience, and I look forward

to working with them in the coming year.

Kim and I try to spend as many weekends and

holidays in the valley as possible. We like to

think we work in Calgary but live in Radi-

um. We spend our time in the summer golfing

or kayaking on Windermere Lake, and winters

skiing at Panorama or snowshoeing on the

trails in the area. When we drive through the

gap in the mountain created by Sinclair creek,

the stress just evaporates, as the sign says

when entering Radium “The mountains bring

peace to the people”. We have two children

(should say adults), our daughter also enjoys

her trips to the valley with us or with friends,

and our son lives in Toronto.

We have owned our place at the Peaks for

almost 4 years and our only regret was not

getting a place here sooner. I am originally from

B.C. growing up just outside of Penticton, so

the valley feels very familiar in many ways to

the Okanagan Valley. So yes, the Vancou-

ver Canucks are my favorite team.

The Peaks is a great Strata, and I will do

my best to make it a place all owners want

to call home.

Board Vice President: Darwin Baker

I am pleased to

be serving a

second term on

the Strata

Board. Kathy

and I are from

the beautiful

city of Saskatoon. When we meet people

in the valley and we tell them where we

are from the next question is always

“Wow how long does it take to get

here?”, well it is 866 km and it takes up

about 8 ½ - 9 hours. But as everyone

knows once you are here it is worth the

drive. We have 2 wonderful daughters and

a son-in-law (he’s ok too). We bought at

the Peaks in the fall of 2017 and have nev-

er for a moment regretted it, the Peaks is

a wonderful place and the quiet small-

town vibe of Radium is a welcome change

from the hoards of tourists in Banff and

Jasper. With access to everything we

could want for outdoor enjoyment, we

love to kayak the surrounding lakes and

enjoy cruising down the river from Inver-

mere to Radium. The hiking is endless, golf

courses are numerous and when we are

done our day we can have an evening soak

in the outdoor hot tub and maybe meet

some of our neighbors.

Board Members Continued Serving on the board is an honor and I

have learned a lot about what it takes to

run this Community we call the Peaks - we

really are all in it together. It is new to me

to be in a condo environment and one

thing you can’t deny is it is the people that

help make it a great place to be. We have

an experienced board, we are a diverse

group and most importantly we all really

care about our home, The Peaks.

Board Treasurer: Linda Nickerson

Linda Nickerson is

on the board for

the second year as

Treasurer. She and

her husband Doug

are original owners

in the Willow. Both

are retired and

Linda worked at Cargill Meat Solutions for

over 24 years in financial roles with the

last 8+ as the facility controller. Linda and

Doug reside fulltime in Okotoks, Alberta

near most of their family. Combined, they

have 5 grown children and 11 grandchil-

dren. They love the outdoors enjoying,

skiing, hiking, cycling, canoeing and camping

and whatever the grandchildren want to

do. They like to travel and have travelled a

lot since retirement. The Valley is a won-

derful home away from home that they

enjoy with family and friends.

Board Maintenance Committee

Liaison: Patrick Fitzgerald

My wife and I have

been bringing our

daughters out to

the valley every

summer for over

twenty years,

and Heather has

always said "we

must buy a property of our own". We

finally did four years ago and we are so

happy with our decision to own at The

Peaks. We have met so many lovely people

in Radium, who we now consider our dear

friends. We love the valley and plan on

retiring in here in the coming years as this

has become our second home.

Board Maintenance Committee

Laison: Wayne Loustel

It is my fourth year on

the board. I am retired

and married for 46

years with two chil-

dren. I have been an

owner at the Peaks

since the Birch was

built. I like to garden and I love old cars

and trucks. I help out with maintenance on

the buildings. I do not live there full time.

We also have property in Edgewater

where we spend some weekends in the

summer. Being on the board is very in-

formative. I learn a lot every year.

Board Member for Special Projects:

Joanne Bucklee

I moved to Radium in 2014 with my

Westie, Lachie. Since then we’ve been

kayaking, hiking, golfing, reading and travel-

ing. I split my time primarily between Cal-

gary and Radium although more and more,

Radium is my favourite. I look forward to

being on the board to learn more about

condo management and getting to know

other owners at the Peaks.

Board Secretary: Kelly McGovern

I am happy to be able

to help out again on

the Peaks Board. I was

a Board Secretary for

the 2018-2019 term

and I run our owners’

Facebook page as well.

I am a part-time Peaks resident with a per-

manent home in Airdrie. My husband and I

have owned our unit since June 2014, and

enjoy the outdoor pursuits available to us

in the Radium area. The Peaks is my happy

place.

Thanks for giving me the opportunity to

give back to our community.

T H E P E A K S

The Pool is Closed

Although this is

normally the time

of year when Peaks

staff ready the pool

for summer use,

due to provincial

guidelines, the pool

and amenities build-

ing will remain

closed until further

notice.

You may notice the

pool being filled.

This is to prevent

any damage to the

pool.

If circumstances

change and we are

able to open the

pool for owner use,

you will receive

notification via the

website, email, the

Facebook group

and the newsletter.

Safety Moment: Propane heaters, open fire pits

P A G E 3 O W N E R S ’ N E W S L E T T E R

Reminder that pro-

pane heaters or open

fire pits of any type are

not permitted on the

balconies or Strata

property.

Such items are not

safe for use on the

property and have

caused problems at

The Peaks in previous

years.

Particularly in fire sea-

son, use of these pro-

hibited items can be a

hazard to our sur-

rounding forested are-

as as well.

Also, remember that

propane tanks are not

permitted to

be stored in-

side the build-

ing.

Thank you!

You may notice work getting started on the

Amenities Building roof. Budget approval was

given at the last board meeting for the re-

roofing project to move forward.

Thank you to the Maintenance Committee for

all of their work getting this project organized.

plore enhanced security op-

tions, please let us know via

our email address. We thank

those owners who have al-

ready responded, and will

ensure their voices are heard

in our discussions. If a com-

mittee is struck, it would be

extremely helpful to have 3-

4 owners (in addition to 2

board members) sit on this

committee and help shape its

direction. Many hands make

light work, as they say. If you

would like to join the com-

mittee, please let us know.

All inquiries can be sent

to

stratacorp@radiumpeaks.com.

Please use the subject heading

PEAKS SECURITY.

There have been several

queries of the board with

respect to enhancing securi-

ty measures at the Peaks

complex. With that purpose

in mind, the Board members

are seeking input on forming

a committee.
