Membership in Alliance Quebec is open to all and there is a membership form available right here where you can read about the Alliance's mission statement and objectives.

The annual general meeting of the Upper Laurentians Chapter took place on Friday evening April 24 1998 at Holy Trinity Church in Ste. Agathe. Approximately 45 people attended.

10 new directors were acclaimed and 8 delegates to the Provincial Convention were chosen as well as a youth delegate.

The Delegates going to convention are:

George Barker
Robert Girard
Christopher Goodfellow
Owen Hughes
Eleanor Maxwell
Robert Morgan
Barbara Rowley
Katherine Weary

Youth delegate - Jay Dell

The 10 New Directors are:
George Barker
Robert Girard
Chris Goodfellow
Eleanor Maxwell
Robert Morgan
Jennifer Patton
Robert Rankin
Heather Stephens
John Walker
Katherine Weary

The resolution proposed by Christopher Goodfellow to allow voting by proxy was passed 30 in favour, 3 against. The new Board will now proceed with formulation of an amendment to the constitution. Since the membership is geographically dispersed and there are many senior citizens who simply cannot get out, a system of voting by proxy will do much to make the ULC more inclusive and allow all members to express their views on issues and elect directors and delegates.

At the Provincial Convention policy matters are discussed and the delegates elect a President, Treasurer and a Board of Directors for the Alliance. We will be posting information about the candidates for President and their policy statements elsewhere on this website and we hope there will be a real debate and examination of the issues facing Alliance Quebec.
