Exciting Decisions Ahead

Vote on the future of the LSTAR Building & Modernized Bylaws at the AGM!

We are pleased to announce that our upcoming AGM will include two key motions. One of the motions proposes the sale of the LSTAR building at 342 Commissioners Road West to secure a new office space of up to 7,000 square feet, preferably in a suburban location. Another motion seeks approval to modernize our Bylaws and to ensure they align with ONCA (Ontario Not-for-Profit Corporations Act).

All Members in Good Standing are entitled to attend and vote, either in person or by proxy. Registration and proxy forms are available here:

Unique AGM

Part A - June 23, 2025, & Part B - October 2025

This year's AGM will be divided into two parts, with the first meeting taking place in June and the subsequent meeting in October. This division is necessary to align with the Ontario Not-for-Profit Corporations Act (ONCA) requirements, particularly concerning the election of the Board of Directors. By splitting the AGM, we ensure that all regulatory obligations are met and provide ample time for a thorough and transparent election process.
