I can’t thank Tracey enough for the dedication she has for this organization. This year we will say goodbye to Steve Scherrer, Erica Armstrong, and Jim Stevens. Together we have been a great team of volunteers doing the best we can for our Ontario athletes, coaches, officials, and volunteers. It is like a family and we will miss you but know you are still around. You can’t get away that easily. A warm welcome to Sean, and Susan to our Skate Ontario Annual General Meeting and a long day and a half of planning for the upcoming season. Janet Balkwill, will you please record the minutes of today’s meeting. Thank you. P a g e 7 | 70 I want to thank all the directors and committee chairs for their support and commitment this year. Tracey worked tirelessly this year as she took on a few extra funding submissions that hopefully will assist us with offering many great programs to our athletes and clubs. With Janet in the roles of secretary and treasurer this year it has certainly lightened all our loads. I understand how busy Sections Chairs can be and Janet is a great resource to bounce ideas off of. At this time I would now entertain a motion to allow Tracey McCague-McElrea, Sean McKinnon, Marion Dyke, Susanne Morgan, and Susan Fisher to have a voice at this meeting, but not to vote.

President’s Remarks Skate Ontario continues to take on more and more projects thanks to the great work Tracey does submitting grant proposals. Tracey has put together a quick synopsis of the funding Skate Ontario has received during the past five years. Each year shows growth of funding and therefore also indicates increased activities and hopefully it also means increased visibility within Ontario and indeed the country too. P a g e 9 | 70 Increased contact and work with Skate Canada certainly took place this year. This is largely due to the change of leadership at the national level.
