Our 1st Board meeting post AGM took place on May 6 at the St. Albert Legion. Welcomed were new Directors Riki Roy, Anne Meunier, Lorraine and Fred Carlson!
It was a pleasure to have a full complement of 10 directors for the first time in a number of years!
Bernd is working on finding new software for the production of our newsletter, AGM booklet, brochures and any other paper products we may choose to develop. It looks like “Canva Affinity” will be the choice. Good news – it is a free program unless we find that the AI component is a needed tool, in which case we would have to pay $146.00 yearly. It was moved and passed that Bernd be allowed to purchase this if necessary.
Riki pointed out that most people no longer use Microsoft programs for word processing and spreadsheets. There are free options available, of which Google Docs is one. Bernd will explore this option with Riki’s help and if this works for us then we can cancel our Microsoft subscription and save the $152.25 subscription fee, due in December of each year.
Reimbursement parameters were discussed without a final decision being made.

Next Board Meeting, Wednesday, June 17 at 1:00 PM
The AGM for the fiscal year November 1,2024 – October 31, 2025 was held at the St. Albert Legion on April 23, 2026. The AGM booklet which contained all the Committee reports and the financial statements for the preceding year, was distributed at registration for pre-reading. Lunch was served at 12:00 and the meeting was called to order at 1:30 pm.
Our business was very routine and dealt with in short order. Pat Murray, treasurer, reviewed our financial statement which were then accepted as presented. The highlight of the meeting was the nomination and election by acclamation of four new Directors to the Board!! The six incumbent Directors were also approved for another term. This brings our Board to full capacity of ten!
We are very happy and pleased to welcome the following members to our Board of Directors:
Anne Meunier Fred Carlson Lorraine Carlson Riki Roy
