In the hopes that we will be able to play this summer, we are happy to announce that TEAM and PLAYER registration is now open for the 2021 Season.

ARE YOU INTERESTED IN PLAYING SOCCER THIS SEASON?

Then please sign up! There is no payment required at this time, but we would love it if we had a list of players and teams so that we are ready to go when we get the OK.

We have just moved to a new registration system (Hello, TeamSnap!) and need updated information from all our players and teams.

So Sign In, Sign Up, and help us be ready for the 2021 season!

SUBJECT: Notice of Special General Meeting

FORWARD:

As part of the original Amalgamation Agreement between PGWSA and NCSSL, a three season period was a grace period to determining success as an amalgamated Association. Upon a three season period (2021) the membership will vote at a Special General Meeting to solidify the permanency of the amalgamation. This vote will occur right before the 2021 AGM.

If the membership determines that the amalgamation was a success and to continue as an amalgamated Association, all assets and liabilities will become as one.

If the membership determines that the amalgamation was not successful and vote to ‘revert’ back to the original form as separate Mens and Womens Associations, the Board will prepare for the process to do so.

Pre registration is required. Pre registration email to follow closer to the date. This assists us in pre qualifying registration and maintain a count of attendees (same as signing in at an in person meeting).

In accordance with Prince George Soccer Association (PGSA) Bylaws, please accept this email as formal notice of a PGSA Special General Meeting to be held:

DATE: Monday, January 18th, 2021 (AGM to follow at 7:30pm)

TIME: 7:00PM (check in begins at 6:45pm)

LOCATION: Virtually via Zoom Video-Conferencing

PURPOSE: To vote on solidifying the permanency of the Amalgamation between the Prince George Women’s Soccer Association and North Cariboo Senior Soccer Association as one organization, namely the Prince George Soccer Association.

NOTE: The meeting will be facilitated through electronic means using Zoom conferencing with an online voting platform (details and access to be provided closer to the Special General Meeting date). Pre-registration will be required.

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to email me.

Thank you

SUBJECT: Notice of General Meeting

FORWARD

2020 has had a profound impact and we were not immune. We saw a suspension of all soccer activities from the Health Authorities, National and Provincial governing bodies, phased approaches to return to modified play and ultimately a cancellation of our 2020 season. As a result, Prince George Soccer Association does not have a registered, 2020 voting membership for the 2021 AGM.

Your Board of Directors is requesting the 2019 registered membership in good standing be carried forward as valid 2020 voting members for the 2021 AGM. The vote will take place, virtually, via Zoom, at a General Meeting on November 24th.

More information and registration details will follow closer to the General Meeting date.
