So.
16:34
[laughs] Yeah, I mean, uh, obviously projects, um, I think that's our biggest success, and the way that, you know, our members support through those raffles, that's kind of why I touched on the raffles a bit.
16:46
But all that raffle money goes on the ground, so that's why we've been able to do so much over the last seven or eight years and, you know, putting 700, you know, 700 to $780,000 on the ground a year in BC without any partner funding is because of our members and their commitment to buying our raffle tickets.
17:06
You know, and you touched on community and all that other great stuff, and that's, you know, all that pieces build to what we can do on the ground for sheep.
17:13
So, um, obviously we've kind of got three legacy projects on the go right now.
17:19
Obviously Fraser River is our main one.
17:20
That's our biggest one, 10 years in.

Mm-hmm
24:07
But, um, kinda wanted to touch on is, you know, just how this project started.
24:10
started.And, you know, it was a, a, a conversation in a bar.
24:16
Um, I'm not sure if... who else was with us, but it was myself, Chris Proctor.
24:21
I'm not sure if there was a couple other people, Chris, or not.
24:24
But, um, we were just sitting there and, and we were talking about what was going on in the Fraser and how can we help these sheep.
24:30
And that conversation, um, at one of our conventions, generated this project.
24:35
So for some- for a simple conversation to generate almost, you know, a two-point-plus million dollar project to reestablish sheep populations on the Fraser River, came out of a simple conversation and an idea of how we can help sheep.
