We have continued to grow, starting several new projects and programs, and we have solidified and strengthened our existing programs and internal structures. The year started off with a packed AGM and a competitive board election where 12 board members were elected. We began with a weekend-long training shared with QPIRG McGill, where we learned about QPIRG’s mandate and operations. Later in the fall, we also attended a conflict-resolution training hosted by the Centre for Community Organizations (COCo). As a board this year, we were involved in every part of QPIRG’s functioning, including programming, finances, the resource library, policy development, CURE, Study in Action, and various hiring committees.
