Who
We Are
The
Friends of the Rossland Range is a non-profit charitable organization which
must be operated without financial gain for its members, and all earnings
and donations must be used only for promoting the Society's purposes.
On
December 1, 2009, at the Society's AGM, Section 2 of the Constitution was revised by Special Resolution
to align the Society's stated purposes more accurately with the
intention to be inclusive of all those concerned with the diverse values
and uses in the Rossland Range. The
Section 2 of the Constitution now reads as
follows:
2.
The purposes of the Society are:
a) To increase public awareness of the importance of natural values,
including recreational, scenic and environmental values, to the people and
communities touched by the Rossland Range;
b) To increase public awareness of the cultural and historic values that
make the Rossland Range and its communities unique;
c) To work with all stakeholders for responsible use of the Rossland
Range, and particularly for use that is appropriate to its site, that
respects conservation values and the needs and sensitivities of other
users, and that provides appropriate integration or separation of uses;
d) To work with stakeholders and governments to preserve important
natural, recreational, cultural, historic and economic values in the
Rossland Range;
e) To act as a catalyst, and where feasible as a facilitator, for the
creation of appropriate plans and other official instruments (e.g. bylaws,
regulations, tenures) to give formal recognition of, and security for,
natural, recreational, cultural, historic and economic values in the
Rossland Range;
f) To enter into agreements, hold tenures, and undertake any other
activities to further the Society's purposes as set out above.
