Election of Officers

The following board positions will be voted on at the 2023 AGM:

  • President
  • Vice President
  • Small Towns Director
  • Urban Municipalities Director

The nomination period has now closed. Candidates can be viewed here.

Resolutions

The MNL Advocacy Committee is responsible for reviewing each resolution, determining whether the issue is municipal in nature, and recommending how MNL can best lobby for the issues identified or otherwise contribute to their resolution. MNL has instituted a Resolutions Classification system that allows each resolution to be assessed and given one of three priority levels. These levels help the Advocacy Committee and Board determine which resolutions are most important and require more attention. All adopted resolutions are also assigned to at least one of MNL’s Standing or Ad Hoc Committees to follow-up and monitor as appropriate throughout the year.

Submitted resolutions will be voted on at the 2023 AGM.

Bylaws

Following a bylaw review, the MNL Board of Directors has endorsed the revised bylaws, as prepared by law firm Stewart McKelvey, and is presenting these revised bylaws to the membership at the AGM for approval.
