Minutes & Reports

I have the honour to report on the actions of your board of directors since the last AGM July 18, 2020.  It has been a strange year with the presence of Covid and the restrictions on meetings in person.  We all learned more about how ‘to Zoom’ and work on Teams.  Thanks to Helen Wale for her technical support with this challenge.  I also want to acknowledge the passing from our community of long time resident and SIRRA colleague Harvey Janszen.  We will miss his assistance with our website and his other contributions to the Saturna community.
