We are pleased to invite you to the Bruce Peninsula Biosphere Association Annual General Meeting, 2022 in review, at the Lion’s Head Rotary Hall on Monday, June 26th at 7 pm. This year’s keynote speaker will be Jenna McGuire.
Jenna is well known as an engaging presenter on topics relating to the natural world. She is an accomplished wildlife biologist, ecologist and scientific illustrator. Jenna will be presenting to this year’s AGM on another one of her passions, Geology of the Saugeen Bruce Peninsula. As an added feature, she is asking that participants bring in fossils to be identified!
The Annual General Meeting is an evening to find out about all the Biosphere Association’s programs and efforts over the past year. As a member, it is your chance to have your voice heard and to vote on motions forwarded at the meeting. All are welcome.
This year, the Board of Directors has moved to update the Purposes in our Articles of Incorporation. This is in part to comply with the 2019 Ontario Not-for-Profit Corporations Act (ONCA), and also to more accurately reflect our operations as a charity under CRA.
Members are entitled and encouraged to cast a vote on this and other motions brought before the AGM. For more information, contact Rick Roman, Operation Manager, at biosphere2525@gmail.com or phone 519-793-4687.
