Annual General Meeting

It’s that time of year again.

The Cranbrook Archives, Museum and Landmark Foundation would like to invite its members to register for our Annual General Meeting. Once again we will be holding our meeting virtually via Zoom. This year we will be using the Meeting format rather than Webinar so that we can see all our lovely members. Once you register and we check your membership status we will email you the meeting documents to review. These will include the Agenda, 2019 AGM Minutes and the Updated CAMAL Constitution and Bylaws to be reviewed and confirmed by the Membership (you may also view the documents below).

For our tracking for Societies BC it is important that each member register individually.
