CHF Canada annual meetings

CHF Canada’s annual general meeting is a much-anticipated event held in a different Canadian city each year. Here is full coverage of the 2009 meeting, held in Victoria, BC from May 28—30, 2009.

The 2010 Annual General Meeting will be held June 9—12, 2010, in London, Ontario. Each meeting features:

• training for co-op volunteers and staff
• a business meeting with spirited policy debates
• a youth forum
• caucuses for the members in British Columbia, the Prairies, Quebec and the Atlantic Provinces, and groups that add diversity to our membership
• the annual meeting of CHF Canada’s Ontario Region, including reports, resolutions and the election of the Ontario Council
• lively elections for positions on the regionally representative Board of Directors
• social events that bring together hundreds of co-op leaders and members from across Canada
• simultaneous translation or a French-language alternative for all activities

All members are encouraged to send a delegate (at least) to the AGM. To help with the cost, CHF Canada offers a discounted delegate registration fee, help with heavier delegate airfare costs, and a wide range of registration possibilities for other participants. Billeting and other less expensive options are available to reduce the cost of accommodations
