Due to our financial situation, which remains difficult, CRIAW’s 2011 Annual General Meeting will be held using a conference call. The meeting is scheduled for Tuesday November 15th, 2011 at 7 p.m. EST. We are inviting all current CRIAW members to participate in this call. We hope that some members will be able to meet together to call — that will be possible in Ottawa, and perhaps other communities.

Only members will be able to vote. Please contact CRIAW for details on participating.
