Notice of the 2023 Annual General Meeting of ON/NO was sent to members on October 8, 2023.

In light of rising costs, a new pool and attendance level changes, the Board will be seeking approval from members for changes in the Maximum Admission Fee that it can charge for swims. The admission fee for swims is set by the Board, based on pool costs and anticipated attendance, at an amount (not to exceed the Member-approved Maximum Admission Fee) intended to recuperate the cost of operating swims without generating a profit.
The Board is not proposing any changes to expenditure limits. Whereas the expenditure limits currently in effect were approved “until changed by a future vote”, and whereas the Board is proposing no change in the amounts, it will not be necessary to hold a vote on this matter at this year’s AGM.
An election will be held for six positions on the Board of Directors. Five positions are to be elected for a two-year term and one for a one-year term. Members are encouraged to submit nominations (including self-nominations) for candidates for the election to be held at the AGM. Nominations may be submitted in advance to president@onno.ca or in person at the meeting.
Instructions on how to join the meeting using the Zoom Meeting app will be sent to members in good standing shortly before the meeting date of October 19, 2023.
