UPDATED ON MARCH 23, 2020
In compliance with civil authority directives regarding gatherings, we are postponing the AGM on March 28.
In order to stay inside of rules of the Not-For-Profit Act, we will convene a short meeting on March 28, with only a couple of directors at camp and others via tele-conference. We ask other members not to participate, as the sole purpose of the meeting is to pass a motion to reschedule the AGM.
UPDATED AGM AGENDA
- Establish quorum (bylaws dictate three members minimum)
- Motion by Board of Directors to defer the meeting, with a time and place to be announced in the future.
- Adjourn
