Branch President's Reports
Update – Nov 2025
York Branch Fall Meeting was held on Oct. 7, at the Aurora Legion Hall. A good group showed up at the Hall, with some more coming in via Zoom. As usual, there were a few hiccups with the videoconferencing (still a work in progress), but it worked! The guest speaker came in by Zoom too, which turned out to be technically easier.
Members were updated on Association news, which included the organizational upset with likely the longest Annual Meeting of Members (AMM) in Federal Retirees history! The meeting will resume, and finally end, on Nov. 19, when delegates will finally elect someone to a position which was called Association president, but has been renamed national board chair. This change involved another bylaw update which the 2026 AMM could review.
Our guest speaker was well received. This was a presentation from Connected Canadians, entitled “Logging Out: Preparing Your Digital End of Life”. One does not often think of the internet presence one will leave behind at some time, but the issue is more and more important, and relevant. Connected Canadians also provides help to us in navigating our digital world.
As always, your Branch needs new blood. The jobs are not unduly onerous, but need doing, and some Board members are getting worn out. One possible volunteer came forward during the meeting: more would really be welcome.
