Members! Hiking season is finally back again, and our attention is certainly focused on the hikers about to set out on the GDT this year. But the board is also looking to get a jump-start on planning for the Fall Annual General Meeting.
Save the Date: Monday, September 28, 2026; online*
(registration details will go out soon after the hiking season)
As a registered Canadian charitable organization, the GDTA has a legal obligation to present members our financials and have them vote to approve them. This has traditionally been done in September each year and has also been the venue used to provide updates on the year’s activities and vote for new board members.
We want to hear your thoughts:
- what do you want to hear about at the AGM?
- are there people you think deserve recognition this year?
- are there updates you’ve been hoping to hear more on?
- are there issues you want to make sure are on the board’s radar?
- what would make the AGM more useful for you as a member?
Email your thoughts to: agm@greatdividetrail.com – We’ll do our best to address the comments we receive during the AGM.
Sincerely,
Your Board of Directors
* Note: The AGM moved virtually a few years back due to planning, costs, and technical challenges of hosting in person so close to the end of the hiking season. Furthermore, our membership extends well beyond a single region, so hosting virtually provides equal access to the material. But have no fear, the board appreciates the value of in-Person get togethers, which is why you saw a good number of meetups last year. We’ll be doing the same again this year
