Our Unit Annual General Meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, May 27th at 4:30 pm, at the Baxter Creek Golf Course. The main business items are motions to change the Unit by-laws and elect the 2026-2027 Unit Executive.

If you are interested in serving your colleagues by standing for election to any applicable Unit Executive positions please complete this form and email president@pvncoecta.ca this form by May 8th, 2026, so that it will appear on the ballot at the AGM on May 27th 2026 at Baxter Creek Golf and Country Club.
