Notice: Special Meeting of the Members of Ontario
WE NEED YOUR HELP Following the support and request from members in Ontario, the CSIA Ontario board has called a Special Meeting of the Members March 23rd at 8PM to change the CSIA National Board representative for Ontario.
There are many organizational issues that have led to our region calling this meeting, amongst them:
The National Board member for Ontario (and National Board Chair) recorded (without permission) private in-camera sessions of the National Board and posted those videos to the public internet. These videos breached the privacy of the other National Board members, and showed a board that is dysfunctional, conflicted and not able to exercise their oversight, fiduciary, and strategic planning duties. Despite numerous attempts to handle this situation privately which have been declined, the situation has now risen to a level that we must inform the membership and meet to remove the National Board representative for Ontario.
There are two ways you can help get the organization back on track:
1. Register to attend the Special Meeting of the Members and vote for a new direction for Ontario.
A virtual meeting will be held (on Zoom) by clicking the button below you can register. Once you have registered and your active member status in CSIA Ontario has been verified you will be sent online voting and meeting details. ZOOM MEETING REGISTRATION 2. Submit a Confidential Proxy Vote if you are unable to attend in person.
Every member of CSIA Ontario can help change our direction. You can submit a proxy to the Secretary of the board to vote on your behalf or to a member that will be attending the meeting in person. You easily submit your proxy by clicking the button below: SUBMIT A PROXYAdditional resources relating to the need for this meeting, it’s purpose and outcomes will be circulated in the coming days.For any issues registering for the meeting, submitting your proxy or other questions you can email: board@csiaontario.com or call: CSIA Ontario Director Antony Niro, P.

Les programmes du dimanche son terminer, un gros merci à tous les moniteurs, un autre Samedi à faire.
We will be busy with the march breaks for the next two weeks, thanks to all who signed up to be here and teach. We will be doing privates until the 26th of march.
Remember the Award will be on the 15th of April between 5 and 7 pm. Parents and alumni are welcome.
How we finish the season is what is remembered .
Special message to all of our Ontario CSIA members.
Between March 15th and April 15th this spring. The Ontario region is holding and election for the next person to represent on the national board of the CSIA.
One of our Camp Fortune Alumni is running for this important volunteer position. Many of our past instructors will remember Gunars Kazaks, he began his ski teaching career as a TA, then as an instructor and at on time was my assistant director. His career has brought to various hills, he is now a Level 4 CC skiing out of Calabogie.
Gunars is deserving of your support, there are important decisions being made that affect our organization and I believe Gunars is worthy of our trust. I believe he has at heart, best interests of instructors and the ski industry in general.
All Ontario residents need to do is Vote. Should you want to ask a question. Gunars Kazaks gunarskazaks@gmail.com
In due time I will forward a link to facilitate voting.
All for now
