AGM 2012 Recap
Thursday 29th November was the night. The NSMBA’s Annual General Meeting took place at Jaycee House, North Vancouver. Our intention this year was to join our AGM and our end-of-season party together; seeing as our AGMs are already social affairs, it made sense to crank out the powerpoint slides and the tunes on the same night!
With that said, we were extremely impressed with the turnout for this year’s AGM with well over 80 people in attendance, all eager to hear of the past year’s progress and learn about next year's plans. We would also be voting in our new directors to the board – but more on that later.

NSMBA Trails Forever Campaign
We're very pleased to announce the Trails Forever campaign. A generous donor has offered to match donations to the NSMBA up to $15,000. That means, if you donate $50, your donation will be matched and the NSMBA will receive $100. 2012 was a great year for the NSMBA but please donate today and let's make sure that 2013 is another great year!
NSMBA Builder Academy 2012 Season Complete

Of the attendees, 20 are from the WMBC in Bellingham, 20 from FVMBA in the Fraser Valley and 20 from the NS Hikers/BCMC/Friends of Cypress Provincial Park/Old Growth Conservancy.
