AGM – West Carleton Snowmobile Trails Association

UPDATE: Annual General Meeting Oct 13

On September 24, 2021 / AGM, Feature, West Carleton Snowmobile Trails Association

This is an update on the WCSTA AGM on Wednesday October 13, 2021. Our meeting will be held in the large hall at the Kinburn Community Centre.

This is a City of Ottawa owned facility. They now require that people attending the AGM have been double vaccinated for Covid and have proof of the vaccinations to show at the door. They also require that we collect the names and contact information for those that attend. We will have a volunteer at the door to collect this information in accordance with City of Ottawa and Provincial direction.

Volunteer Needed for Secretary Position

We have not yet identified a volunteer to assume the role of Club Secretary. The main function of the position is to participate in and maintain records for Club meetings. Other associated thing in assisting with the running of the Club will also be involved. We meet once a month in the evening.

If you are interested in this role and helping your Club, please contact me at president@wcstai.com

If you enjoy snowmobiling, please consider the importance of becoming involved in your Club.

Volunteers Needed to Assist in Map Advertising

Each year the Club receives a large portion of its sponsorship from the sale of advertising on our Club map. This also provides valuable information to snowmobilers when we attract a wide range of services you can use on or off the trail.

We are looking for several volunteers that will help us with approaching our existing advertisers with this year’s sales package. You can also assist in identifying and attracting new advertisers. The money from this initiative is what keeps your trails open and groomers running.

This function occurs mainly in October to December. If you have an interest, please let me know.

Very important general meeting! We need a huge turnout.

This is a transition year for our club becoming part of District management under the MOTS (More On The Snow) program. And there is a potential for big changes to our club’s management with a very important election of officers. We need West Carleton Sledders to voice their opinions and concerns to make sure the executive and volunteers can continue to make our club great. This year it is possible that major changes will occur to your Board of Directors and Officers.

We need your support at this one annual meeting.

Also, there will be an update on the great success we have had with securing the County Rail Line as a brand new trail. There has been a huge amount of work by several club executives (including all of you who voiced political support) to make this exciting project happen.

Please join us at the West Carleton Snowmobile Trails Association Annual General Meeting – Tuesday September 5th, 7:00pm, at the Kinburn Community Centre.
