You are personally invited to attend CurlESP's Annual General Meeting (AGM) that will take place on Tuesday, November 17, 2026 in the 8 Ender Lounge starting at 6:30 PM. The meeting agenda will be available closer to the meeting date. For last year's AGM meeting minutes, see the link below.

      Click Here  AGM Agenda pending.

      Click Here to see the AGM Minutes from December 2, 2025.

The AGM should be viewed by our membership as one of the most important events in our curling club's calendar.

Who should attend? The AGM is open to everyone who registered for the 2024-25 CurlESP curling season. More specifically, that includes all CurlESP league members, including parents of children who are enrolled in the Youth Curling Program, and our affiliate curlers. Guests of members may also attend but they will not have the ability to cast a vote.

Why should I attend? Well, for starters, you pay annual registration fees so it's your money that is being used to run the club, to keep the lights on, and to help make our facility one of the finest in the province. Equally important, however, this is your opportunity:

• To meet your board members and club manager,
• To hear about the current status (financial and otherwise) of CurlESP, 
• To learn about future plans for the club,
• To ask questions of the current board members and club manager, and
• To offer YOUR suggestions about how we can improve your curling club.

If I attend the AGM, does that mean that I could end up on the board? The short answer is NO because you are in total control of your destiny. There are several steps involved in order for a club member to become a board member. The individual must (a) be eligible to become a board member, (b) he/she must be nominated by another eligible club member, (c) he/she must accept the nomination to become a board member, and finally, (d) his/her nomination must be voted on by all eligible members in attendance at the AGM.

An effective and efficient Board can only remain that way through a constant turnover of board members. New members bring new energy and new ideas, they help to fill board vacancies that may otherwise go unfilled, and they help keep the time commitment (i.e. life cycle) of a board member to something that members will find acceptable.

The CurlESP Board of Directors is always seeking additional support from members in our curling community. In particular, we would like to hear from dynamic individuals that can bring key skillsets to the club. Specifically, we are looking for individuals with talents in financial systems, marketing and merchandising, technology, social media presence, skilled labourers, and legal knowledge. If you are interested in joining the board or would prefer to offer your time as a volunteer for a specific role or project, please send an email to Kari Hemminger, CurlESP President. Click Here

There will be plenty of opportunities to donate some of your time to events and projects throughout the season.

As a valued member of our curling club, you have a right to attend the AGM. As a concerned member of our curling club, you have a duty to speak up and let your opinions be heard. And if you really want to effect change, let your name stand to be one of our next new board members!
