Building Community, Through Climbing
Annual General Meeting 2023
POSTPONED
Year-end financials take a while to prepare and, despite best efforts, this year is no exception. As we don't want to meet only to have to call everyone back just to vote in financials, we've made the decision to POSTPONE our annual general meeting until we can present a complete report of 2022 to our membership. Please watch this space for the new date.
Annual General Meeting Update
July 2023
As you may remember, last year FBC was required to become a licensed daycare provider. As such, we are required to break the camp/"daycare" side of things off into a separate company. The first steps were taken last year by the interim Executive Director (while Jennie was on mat leave), and although none of the financial side of things were broken out yet from the main company, the accountants (very last-minute, well after the AGM date had been set and triple-checked with their approval!) deemed it necessary to completely separate the 2022 financials. This was unforeseen and very frustrating! This means the main company retroactively charging the new entity for expenses, identifying all daycare-specific revenue and expenses, creating new bank and bookkeeping accounts, creating CRA accounts, and all kinds of stuff.
Luckily, Jennie (Executive Director) was recently able to deliver a key item to the accountants and hopefully should be hearing back from them soon to see where we're at and if we can get a more solid idea of when the statements will be fully prepared in order to present them to the membership.
