Hello Fellow CDW Civitans, welcome to 2023 and the second quarter of this Civitan year.

As Governor of Canadian District West, I want to acknowledge we all collectively work and live on traditional First Nations, Métis, and Innu lands. We as a district are pleased to be in a relationship with Water First.

I hope you all have had a chance to reconvene safely to carry on the business and projects of your club.

The District has been working with the Dundas club to bring you a Spring convention, on May 27. As soon as the board has a chance to go over the details we will be sending out the registration form, at the end of Feb/early March, via our Communications Chair Lyle Armstrong.

The board is here for you, if you need help with an event, access to awareness funds, or support in some way please don't hesitate to contact your Area Director, Governor-Elect Pat, or myself.

The board/volunteer committee will be working this year to bring bylaws and policies up to date and to be in compliance with Ontario's new not-for-profit/charity laws. Please consider joining the board for positions that will be open for 2023/24. Forms and advice for running for these can be obtained via Past Governor Darrell, or on this site, including job descriptions and duties, in the policy book.

Sincerely,

Pauline
Governor, 2022/23

Please read the thank-you letter from WATER FIRST in respect to our recent donation of $6,500.00.
