Thank you to all who participated in our Annual General Meeting (AGM) in October. We knew that this year’s meeting would be a challenge, and very different from the social gatherings we have enjoyed in prior years. I know that many of us missed the opportunity for our traditional wine and cheese! We are grateful that all Directors whose terms were expiring agreed to let their names stand for another term. We look forward to another productive year, and hope that Zoom meetings will soon be a memory.
We have implemented a new system for the purchase of memberships on our website. If you are not yet a member, please consider signing up to be part of your community association. It can be done online from our website with a credit card and is only $15 per family and free the first year in the community. We understand that this year has been a challenging one, and we have not been able to hold many of the events that we enjoy as a community. However, we will return to these events as it becomes safe and possible to do so and want to be able to connect with as many of our community residents as possible.
In that regard, we are hoping to start our community skating times at the Sportsplex this month. Traditionally, those have been on Tuesday and Sunday afternoons. Please check the MPCA website for updates and details. We will take all required precautions under COVID-19. This includes having contact tracing in place, and so it is likely that you will need to pre-register, or perhaps scan in with a QR code, rather than just dropping in to skate. At the time of writing, the City regulations require you to wear a face covering when you enter the building, but not when you are skating. Also, as a reminder, you do require a current MPCA membership to take advantage of this opportunity.
