**Due to the ongoing concerns about spreading the coronavirus, the AGM and Agent Q&A have been cancelled. All registrations will be cancelled and refunded. Elections for the new board will take place online. Be sure to check the newsletter for voting times.
All members of the WCYR are highly encouraged to attend the AGM to participate in the election process for the new board. The AGM portion of the meeting is free for members. Simply Register for the “AGM only” ticket below.
Keeping the WCYR thriving can only be done through volunteer work, and member participation at events like the AGM where your vote is incredibly important. At this time we are still desperately looking for volunteers to take on board positions. If these positions are not filled, the WCYR risks collapsing. Please help support this amazing organization.
