REMINDER: Upcoming Special Assembly to implement Province-wide Plebiscite results
As a reminder, the MNO Special Assembly is just 30 days away. The meeting details for the Special Assembly are as follows:
Date: Saturday, June 17, 2023
Time: 9:00am – 4:30pm (EST)
Location: Delta Airport Hotel (655 Dixon Rd, Toronto, ON M9W 1J3)
As set out in the formal notice, this Special Assembly has been called to follow through on the Registry Review process that was initiated in 2017, and based on the 2022 MNO Annual General Assembly’s direction and the clear results of the MNO’s province-wide Plebiscite. A complete copy of the Special Assembly notice package, including copies of the agenda and meeting Guidelines, is available here.
At the Special Assembly, a single Special Resolution will be considered that, if passed, will amend the MNO Bylaws and the MNO Registry Policy, as well as adopt a Citizen Removal Appeals Policy, to allow for the removal of citizens who do not meet the current requirements for MNO citizenship. A minor typo to article 51(c), previously corrected by the PCMNO, would also be approved if this Special Resolution passes. A copy of the Special Resolution, including copies of the proposed amendments and policy are available here.
For more information, please see the MNO’s designated Special Assembly webpage, which includes a special message from MNO President, Margaret Froh, and a list of Frequently Asked Questions. In addition, questions can also be sent to specialassembly@metisnation.org.
We look forward to seeing you there.
