TAKE NOTICE THAT THE MAYNE ISLAND CONSERVANCY SOCIETY Board of Directors will put
forward ONE Special Resolution at an EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING at 4:00 PM PST on
Sunday, September 27, 2026, at Dinner Bay Park, followed by a Volunteer Appreciation event.
Since its founding in 2003 as the Friends of Mount Parke, The Mayne Island Conservancy has grown
considerably, and has taken on new responsibilities along the way. These include land-based and marine
conservation activities, public education and advocacy along with our expanded partnership with the
W̱SÁNEĆ Land Trust; a relationship that recognizes the key role Indigenous groups play in land
protection. To maintain our charitable status with the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA), our obligation is to
ensure that:

A. The MICS Charitable Purposes accurately describe the organizations’ current activities and,
B. The wording aligns with CRA’s current definitions and conventions.

Special Resolution #1:

To revise the Constitution to read as follows:

The purposes of the Mayne Island Conservancy Society are:

a) To conserve and protect the ecological values of Mayne Island’s terrestrial, freshwater and marine
ecosystems, and those of the surrounding region, for the benefit of the public;
b) To acquire, secure, manage and otherwise deal with lands, interests in lands, and associated natural
and cultural features to protect these features for the benefit of the public;
c) To hold and/or administer conservation covenants, or other legal tools, for the establishment,
protection, and management of ecologically significant areas;
d) To receive, manage and disburse funds, donations and bequests;
e) To support public awareness of the value of conservation, stewardship, and the natural environment by
offering seminars, workshops, ecological tours, and educational programs;
f) To undertake research and restoration projects related to Mayne Island’s ecosystems, and those of the
surrounding region;
g) To provide expert advice related to Mayne Island’s ecosystems, and those of the surrounding region;
