Materials for the Special Meeting and Annual General Meeting will be distributed to the CanSIA member's designated voting delegate on November 7, 2019.
As background, the member consultation process with respect to the proposed formation of a new multi-technology industry association (NewOrg), through the amalgamation of CanSIA and CanWEA is now complete.
All input received has been reviewed by the CanSIA and
CanWEA
boards and a final proposal is being brought forward for a vote by CanSIA members.
If this proposal is endorsed by the memberships of the two associations, NewOrg's purposes will be to:
- Maximize opportunities for solar energy, wind energy and electricity storage to contribute to the deployment of a clean, affordable, safe and reliable electricity system in Canada;
- Ensure that solar energy, wind energy and electricity storage are able to compete, individually or together, on a level playing field for the opportunity to meet the needs of a clean, affordable, safe and reliable electricity system in Canada; and
- Demonstrate that different combinations of solar energy, wind energy and electricity storage are a cost-competitive way to provide a clean, affordable, safe and reliable electricity system in Canada.
All CanSIA members in good standing as of September 29, 2019 are now eligible to vote on the amalgamation proposal.
The Voting Package will be sent out on November 7, 2019 to the CanSIA member's designated voting delegate as part of the Special Meeting and the Annual General Meeting materials. These materials will include a full overview of the amalgamation proposal and will provide all the information and tools your delegate will require to cast a vote. Proxy and in-person options will be available, and the Voting Package will specify procedures and deadlines associated with each. This is a vitally important proposal and we urge all CanSIA members to make their voice heard.
DATED this 29th day of October 2019
BY ORDER OF THE BOARD
