A member’s motion, presented from the floor of the 2021 AGM on November 20, 2021, requested that the organization move into a trusteeship of three leadership positions with the purpose to organize a Special General Meeting (SGM) in January 2022 to elect a full board.

This motion passed successfully and the membership in attendance elected Andy Glydon, Rosie Shaw, and Peter Savoie to hold the organization in trust until the SGM.

The trustees are currently working on resuming control of the organization, including working with the auditors to obtain financial statements for the SGM. They will then begin to plan and gather the other necessary documents, strike a new, independent nominations committee, solicit nominations from the membership, engage an elections official, and prepare for a smooth transfer of power to the new Board of Directors.

The SGM will be held virtually via Zoom to provide greatest accessibility for all members, and in accordance with current provincial Public Health guidelines.
