Last meeting before summer break!
Our next Members Meeting (and last before summer break) is coming up quickly, on Thursday, May 30 at 5:30pm. We're still holding these meetings virtually, at https://meet.google.com/zqg-qbvz-tvt
This is our chance, every second month, to get caught up on some of the things Engage and our partners have been up to, and hear from our members.
Members can access the draft Agenda and updated details in the Forum at https://www.engagebarrie.org/forum/member-information/members-meeting-thursday-may-30-5-30pm-virtual
Meeting Highlights
Guest Speakers
We'll have two guest groups joining us this month. The first is Barrie Riders, a brand new group advocating for better Public Transit (something we know many of our members are also interested in!). The second is the Allandale Neighbourhood Association, who have been leading the charge against the destruction of the Southshore naturalized area for a synthetic sports field.
Updates
There will also be updates on the four rallies taking place this week (or three, depending on whether folks can get back on time from the fourth), information on an investigation into the (many) questions surrounding the Mayor's Advisory Task Force, and the recently-received report from the Integrity Commissioner on the election-time slander that nearly disrailed our all-candidates meetings. Lots to talk about, hope you can join us!
Get Engaged
If anyone else has info or updates to share, or support you'd like to request from our members, please ask to be added to the agenda – you're also welcome to spontaneously share, we just don't want to miss including you!
As always, friends of the organization who share our mission, mandate and values, and founding principles are welcome to join us, but in order to maintain a safe space for all, must identify themselves, remain on-camera, and follow our anti-harassment policy – anonymous lurking is not allowed.
