4.1 Carry Over: Status of: Changes that were approved years ago by members at SP subgroup AGM, to be made to our subgroup bylaws. Those changes were submitted year ago to PIPSC bylaws Committee. To date, there has been no response by the PIPSC bylaws Committee (to the requested changes).
4.2 PIPSC promotional items that were being stored by Karen Hall, have now been transferred to the Vancouver Branch Storage locker. There is a tent, table and PIPSC banner being stored as well. The storage locker is near to Renfrew & Boundary in Burnaby.
4.3 Labour Day event was successful. A bean bag toss game was bought by our sub group and used at this event. The Executive expressed their preference for a location selected years ago, for the Labour Day, Swanguard stadium (near boundary road). And hope the Labour Day event returns to that location
