YRL holds an annual Trustee Orientation session for Board representatives and their alternates. This orientation normally takes place in late January after the fall organizational meeting. However, Board members are always welcome to discuss any questions or concerns with Kevin Dodds, YRL Director, in person, by telephone (780-962-2003 or 877-962-2003, ext 226) or by email (kdodds@yrl.ab.ca).
