AGM March 14, 2024

The new year begins a new cycle in our governance as a community. We have an incredible board that is elected by the members of the community to represent and guide us but part of the new year is preparing for our annual general meeting. Along with reports from our various staff and committees, we will review the financials for 2023 and approve the budget for the coming year.

This year, dinner will be provided. We will eat together at 6:00 and then shift into the business to conclude by 7:45 PM.

Childcare will be provided.

You're welcome to join us whether you are a voting member or a friend of Commons. 

If you’re not a member and would like to be, our First Steps classes happen online on Monday nights. All four classes need to be completed to become a member. You can sign up for a class online.

The AGM is scheduled for March 14, 2024. Register below to join us in person or online.
