Notice to Members:

The Board of the Qualicum Beach Chamber of Commerce is currently doing a complete Bylaw review because of potential discrepancies within the current bylaws, which were last updated in 2010.

One of the discrepancies lies in the date of the Annual General Meeting.

After much discussion at the Board table it was decided to shift the Annual General Meeting date from November into March of future years.

Therefore, this is formal notice that the AGM for the Qualicum Beach Chamber of Commerce will take place at 5:30 on Wednesday March 15, 2017 at Milner Gardens and Woodlands.

If you have an interest in standing for election for the Board for Directors for a two year period, contact Evelyn Clark at 250-752-0960 by February 15, 2017.
