September 2026 Update
Wow, can you believe how fast the summer has flown by? It seems like it was just yesterday that we were discussing the summer break and now it’s just two weeks to full re-opening. And with the September re-opening comes the need to start preparing for the AGM in November because nominations to the Board and resolutions (both ordinary and special) must be delivered with the meeting notice at least 14 days prior to the November 19th meeting date.
Join us in charting the future of the Centre. Nominations are now open to fill seven Board positions this year. There are two 1-year terms and five 2-year terms. Elections will be held for the positions of President, Vice-President, Secretary and four Directors at Large. Nomination forms can be picked up at the office.
Does the Centre seem busy to you – even through the summer? Well, the fact is that in the last nine months, activity fees have returned $32,509 which translates to over 16,000 people having used our Centre for activities. I think that’s remarkable given that the Centre is 100% volunteer operated. During the month of July, we posted a surplus of $2,199.33 which reduced our year-to-date deficit to $11,136 however, that will increase with the purchase of the final furnace – A/C system upgrade in August. Notwithstanding the year-to-date deficit the Centre has approximately $87,000 in operating funds plus an emergency fund of approximately $21,000 as of July 31st, and our financial position remains strong.
Respectfully submitted,
Bill Cuthill
