The Burnaby Lake Park Association invites you to join us for our 2023 Annual General Meeting (AGM) to be held at the Metro Vancouver Regional Parks Central Area Office.
The purpose of the meeting is to satisfy the requirements of the BC Societies Act by:
- Hearing the reports from the Board of Directors of the Burnaby Lake Park Association (BLPA)
- Presenting the financial statements of the BLPA
- Considering any Special Resolutions placed before the meeting*
- Presenting the results from the Nomination Committee and conduct BLPA elections*
We will begin the evening with a short meeting to conduct our AGM business before our guest speaker’s presentation. After the presentation, we will break for refreshments which will provide an opportunity for mix and mingle with your fellow stewards, nature lovers and a chance for you to meet the BLPA directors and other volunteers.
One of Burnaby Lake’s wildlife highlights of 2022 was Baby “Piper”, the Sandhill Crane. He was discovered next to Piper Spit at the end of May and we were fortunate to watch him grow over the summer, from awkward attempts to hop up on the boardwalk to flying lessons and finally stong enough to migrate with his parents.
With all the interest in Sandhill Cranes, we invited Myles Lamont to be our guest speaker.
Myles is a biologist, naturalist, and the principal of Terra Fauna Wildlife Consulting. He has worked in wildlife management and conservation with a variety of species but has a special interest in Sandhill Cranes and runs the Sandhill Crane Sightings web page for people to record their observations for his research. Along with an overview of the species, he will give an update on his surveys and population estimate of the distinct subpopulation of the Sandhill Cranes in the Fraser River Lowland.
We hope that you can join us. Click here for details, directions and to register.
*Please note, while all are welcome to attend, only members can vote.
