In-person Attendance
You will be required to register for the AGM in advance of the meeting if you wish to attend in-person. The deadline for this registration is April 14, 2022 at 5:00 p.m. Central Time.

A cash bar will open at 5:30 p.m. and dinner will be served at 6:00 p.m. The venue for the in-person attendees will be the Delta Hotels at 350 St. Mary Av, Winnipeg.

The gift card/certificate will only be available to those who provide an email address during the meeting through the virtual attendance platform (Zoom) and express a willingness to accept the gift.
Additional grand door prizes will be provided to three (3) randomly selected members in attendance. All members who attend – virtually or in-person – will be eligible to win one of these grand door prizes. These prizes will be gift cards/certificates valued at: $150, $100 and $50. The draw for these prizes will be conducted after the elections and prior to the adjournment of the AGM and the winners must be able to verify their attendance at the time their names are announced.
The Group Executive intends to conduct the normal requirements of our AGM in this hybrid environment including elections for vacant positions on the Group’s Executive; Article 7.3 of our Constitution requires a minimum notice of four (4) weeks for elections. As indicated in Article 6.2 of our Group’s Constitution, elections will be conducted for the positions: Vice President; Treasurer; and two (2) Members at Large.
I would encourage you to consider nominating a colleague, or perhaps yourself, to one of these four positions to form a strong and complete Group Executive to help guide our Group and its Membership. The Election Committee for this year’s elections will be Katy Schram (kschram@pipsc.ca) and Eric Watters (ericwatters@live.ca). To nominate someone or submit your nomination, please fill out the Nomination Form found on the Grooup's website.
All voting for the upcoming vacant positions on the Group Executive will be conducted during the AGM using the Zoom platform as well as in-person ballots.
We look forward to your participation at the AGM. Should you have any questions or need any additional information, please do not hesitate to contact any member of the Group Executive.
In Solidarity,
Harald Larsen
President
