TLC’s 2021 Annual General Meeting will now be held virtually via Zoom at 1 p.m. on Saturday, September 25. While we had previously hoped that we would be able to hold the meeting in person, our board of directors has pivoted to protect the health and safety of our members and donors given the current COVID-19 situation.

To receive access links, call in details, and a secure passcode in the week prior to the meeting, please RSVP to membership@conservancy.bc.ca or call 1-877-485-2422.

Please note that our board of directors’ election and nominations details remain the same as previously communicated; you can view details and procedures on our website at www.conservancy.bc.ca. As announced in the spring, a Nominations Committee was struck to recruit and put forward candidates for the board of directors for your consideration. The maximum number of Directors is 13. There are currently eight Directors. Four Directors (whose terms are not ending) will be continuing. They include Jeff Sheldrake, Andrew Stewart, Tom Watson, and Sara Wickham. There are nine positions open to nominations. Marika Smith has completed her term and will not be standing for re-election. Mel Lehan, Lori Roter, and Frances Sloan Sainas have reached the end of their terms and will be standing for re-election. Kelly Fretwell and Paleah Black Moher have been nominated by our Board and stand for election for the first time. In keeping with TLC’s bylaws, as we have fewer nominations than vacant positions, nominees will be elected by acclamation. Successful candidates will be announced at the AGM.
