We have received quite a bit of interest from Members unable to attend the Annual General Meeting, being held at 6:30PM on Wednesday, April 29th, 2026 at the North Bay Public Library (Auditorium), to otherwise vote.

Members who cannot attend the meeting in person have two options for voting. A Member can either appoint a proxy (a person who will vote on your behalf, either with requested instructions for voting, or as they see fit), OR Members can vote directly themselves for board positions in advance using the Absentee Voting Form (for all or some of the positions).

Members who wish to appoint a Proxyholder to vote in their place must submit the attached Proxy Voting Form a minimum of 48 hours in advance of the meeting.

Members who wish instead to submit their vote in absentia will need to fill out the attached Absentee Voting Form, indicating the candidate that they have decided to cast their vote for beside each position, a minimum of 2 hours in advance of the meeting. Members do not need to vote for every position if they choose not to.
