Annual General Meeting 2021

Typically the first Tuesday in January of the new year the Bytown Railway Society hosts an Annual General Meeting (AGM).

However, 2020 has not been a 'typical' year. The board has made the decision to temporarily postpone and reschedule the AGM later in 2021 so they can use the extra time to research hosting an AGM which includes proper proceeding (like voting as one example) while following COVID-19 Pandemic protocols.
