Resolution #1: Be it resolved that the Alberta Women’s Institutes request the Canadian government to look into requiring improvement of the construction of the poles that hold the netting around trampolines so that they are strong enough to hold up in strong winds rather than falling inward or breaking, and so posing a risk to people using the trampoline.
