Results of Special General Meeting for Shareholders – November 7, 2012

Posted on November 10, 2012 by Valleycrest Pool

At the Special General Meeting for Shareholders held on November 7, 2012 at 7:00PM, shareholders present voted in favor to adopt the motion read (and previously distributed to shareholders via email) that allows Valleycrest to move forward with the Ville de Montreal for the building of a new aquatic facility. Those present were also given a first look at preliminary plans for the new pool and surrounding buildings.

It was also confirmed that Valleycrest will remain open for the 2013 season, and will also be hosting two NAA events during the summer – the Division A time trials, and the boys Waterpolo semifinals. It’s going to be a great summer!

Posted on November 1, 2012 by Valleycrest Pool

A reminder for ALL SHAREHOLDERS that Valleycrest Pool will be holding a Special General Meeting on Wednesday, November 7th, 2012 at 7:00pm. A previous communication was emailed to members that this meeting was to be taking place at the Grier chalet next to the pool, but due to scheduling conflicts this meeting will now be held at Holleuffer Chalet at 75 Charlevoix, in Kirkland (please click on the link for directions from Valleycrest pool).

On November 1st, all shareholders should have also received an email message from our pool president including documents attached for your reference as well as the agenda for this meeting. If you are a shareholder and you have not received this message, please email vycpool@vycpool.com so that we can forward this to you right away.

In an effort to be “green” we will not be providing printed copies of the agenda, or the other documents, the night of the meeting. We encourage you to print your own copies should you wish, or (if you are able to) refer to them on your smartphone, tablet or portable computer.
