On Sunday, November 26, 2023, AGM Chair Paul Cardegna called the 104th Annual General Meeting to order with a warm welcome to the more than 800 delegates.
The assembly observed a moment of silence to honour members who had passed away since the previous AGM. Pursuant to a resolution at the 2014 AGM, delegates proudly stood at attention for the Canadian National Anthem.
As delegates prepared for business, the Chair reviewed the rules of procedure and the Code of Respect and led the delegates through the initial items on the agenda, including the disposition of the 2022 AGM resolutions.
