Rescheduled Date for Annual General Meeting

Posted Jun 19, 2020

May 19, 2020

Dear Members,

On March 17, 2020, the Board of Directors announced its decision to postpone Lifesaving Society Manitoba’s Annual General Meeting (AGM) until June 2020.  This was due to the COVID-19 pandemic and public health recommendations.  The Board has carefully considered options to ensure the AGM is held according to The Corporations Act and is compliant with future public health recommendations.

We are pleased to announce that our AGM will now proceed Tuesday, June 23, 2020.  The Government of Manitoba recently enacted an Order that permits electronic service, voting and meetings that were otherwise not permitted by the bylaws.  As such, we have planned a virtual meeting.  Details are below.  Documents will be shared virtually with registrants.  We invite you to register as soon as possible. 

Finally, Lifesaving Society Manitoba has partnered with the Association of Regulated Nurses of Manitoba, which has offered to assist us in hosting our first virtual AGM.  We are grateful for their generous support. 

Sincerely,

Elizabeth Proskurnik

Chair, Board of Directors
