Mahsi for that. Also, infrastructure highways went into the community to shore up the riverbank where it was about five feet from the road the access road into the community. And what I noticed that they did there was they just compacted the fill in that area. And that's right next to the river where the ice when you look on the riverbanks of in that area there, the ice really chews up, you know, the the banks there pretty you know, a significant amount. And why did infrastructure just put compact fill, knowing that when you do stuff like that it's going to slump anyways once the ice hits...

But there was other ones that I heard from the BeauDel, you know, education council members up there that they're saying well, all these changes we're looking at making on this first round, you know...
