Roland summarizes the meeting with Coast Mountain.
They clearly worked hard and prepared for the meeting. We met with CEO, COO, and head of training.
We should follow up and see if they will share some of the data with us, and perhaps ask about
how they communicate with the city in order to not be surprised by route changes.
We also need to ask follow up questions on their training programs, whether they are trained
to deal with people with barriers.

inspector is meeting with us this Friday - meet 11am at waterfront skytrain station to
discuss the two incidents mentioned earlier. Others are invited to attend. Sandwiches are
being made tonight and will be handed out on bottle block because there is a rumor that
copwatch are undercover. Woman was just taking out her pills, police cuffed her because
they thought that she was selling. Jamie filed two complaints based on pushing through
