PGRA Minutes of the Annual General Meeting – April 3, 2013
President Janine Gervais called the meeting to order at 7:04pm.
Janine welcomed everyone to the 2013/2014 AGM and introduced the Directors and Officers and Brian Crandell, BC Ringette Association Board member/Canada Winter Games Sport Leader for Ringette.
Sydney Irving and Justine Lamothe Team BC update. Thanks to PGRA for support and sponsorship of ice. Good luck!
Reviewed PowerPoint presentation with highlights from the Annual Report 2013/2014. Reviewed each Directors reports. Complete reports are in the Annual Report 2013/2014. Reviewed in detail the Income and Expense statement for the 2013/2014 Ringette Season.
Madeleine Crandell discussed the 2014/2015 Ice allocation to PGRA from the City of Prince George with respect to the 2015 Canada Winter Games. There will be NO ICE AVAILABLE from February 9th to March 3rd, 2015. We discussed ending the Ringette Season early due to only 1-2 weeks remaining in March and Ringette players may not return after the month long break. It was discussed and decided unanimously amongst all members that all those teams NOT competing at the Provincial level (U9-U12) will end their season at the last ice allocation in early February with a revised registration rate. The U14, U16, UI19 and Open teams will all need to be skating elsewhere during the month of February (tournaments outside of PG, Quesnel and Fraser Lake ice?) and will need to return to the ice in March to prepare for Provincial Championships.
