Special Resolution was voted upon and received unanimous approval at the Special General Meeting (SGM) held on Monday, November 23, 2020:
The Winnipeg Metropolitan area (and surrounding regions) were elevated to “Code Orange/Restricted and more recently elevated to “Code Red/Critical” on the Province of Manitoba’s Pandemic Response System which has resulted in a restriction of gathering sizes. This directly impacts the Association’s ability to host an AGM. After discussions with directors and board members at our previous board meeting, it was agreed that a virtual or video conference AGM might alienate and/or exclude some of the Association’s members who would otherwise attend at and participate in the AGM. Due to the gathering restrictions, and with the safety of our members in mind, the Association ought to delay the scheduling of the Association’s Annual General Meeting (AGM) until it is safe to do so. This is a time sensitive matter as the Association is otherwise required to hold an AGM within 90 days of the fiscal year-end (90 days within October 31, 2020).
The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic in our community has been unprecedented and a timeline for a potential AGM date is unknown. The decision of when it will be “safe” enough to hold an in-person AGM ought to be decided by a further Special Resolution and request for a SGM. The Special Resolution and request for a SGM may be submitted by the President, Vice President or be signed by a minimum of 10% of the Members in Good Standing (as per the Association’s governing documents).
Electronically signed by Nihar Kaushal, President.
We have received advice from a veterinary office that we are in the midst of a very serious outbreak of kennel cough. With our dogs in mind, we wish to advise that we will be postponing our bbq event until it is safe for our dogs. We will reschedule as soon as it is safe to do so.
Many thanks to our volunteers, vendors and for the donations and prizes received to date. Our rescheduled event will be great.
Thanks for your patience and understanding. Stay posted for updates.
On Tuesday July 30th from 3:00pm until 7:00pm (or until the chips are all spread) come out and help move some of our piles of wood chips around to where they are needed. Bring a shovel and/or a rake and a wheel barrow if you have one.
We need to put some around the benches and on muddy spots on the paths.
IMPORTANT REMINDER: The path in this area is not a formal trail and is not part of the pathway network, and neither Maple Grove Park Dog Owners’ Association nor the City of Winnipeg condone use of the riverbank.
