Based on a recent survey, and your feedback, we are excited to deliver on something many of you have requested. Starting in 2019, we will be mailing out two printed issues per year – a Spring/Summer and a Fall/ Winter – instead of just one. Plus, we will be moving all of the great content from the digital flipbook version of the magazine into a much easier-to-use between February 13 and February 26, 2019. Advance voting will be available online, by phone or email, or at a service location. For more about BCAA's AGM, board nominees, resolutions and voting, please visit bcaa.com/agm. BCAA's financial statements will be available at bcaa.com/agm or by request to corporate.secretary@bcaa.com or 1.888.663.2222.
