We want to thank Akash Gill for her service as Recording Secretary. Akash has been critical in our advocacy, most notably our seconds count campaign which saw over 11,000 signatures, billboards, thousands of views on social media, and helped communicate who we are, what we do, and why it matters to government, stakeholders, and the public.

Full details will be sent out when nominations and voting opens. If you have questions or concerns please email executive@ecpbc.ca.

In solidarity,

Donald Grant
President
