Becoming a member of the society gives you a voice toward ensuring that our programs and services continue to meet the needs of our community.
Our Annual General Meeting will be held Tuesday, June 27, 2023 at 7pm at the Chances RimRock Casino
(4890 Cherry Creek Rd, Port Alberni).
A review of the Alberni Valley Hospice Society (AVHS) Bylaws was conducted by the Governance Group in early 2022 and was further reviewed by legal entity to ensure that our Bylaws were in compliance with the updated Societies Amendment Act 2021.
At the Extraordinary General Meeting of April 26, 2022, the Special Resolution that the Bylaws of the AVHS be repealed and replaced with the new bylaws was unanimously approved by the membership.
