All participants, coaches, officials, and volunteers who were actively
involved in 2018 programs are welcome to attend. An Agenda will be posted

minimum requirements recommended by Sport Manitoba
• Classes of individual membership related to paddling discipline have
been eliminated

disciplines (sprint, dragon boat, marathon/adult paddling) will become
NOS (not otherwise specified) positions with duties as decided by the
Board
• Votes are awarded to club & corporate members, and to individuals
named to the Provincial Team in November of the year preceding the
election; individual members of MPA or MPA clubs who are not
named to the Provincial Team are not awarded voting privileges
• Following discussion at the AGM, members will vote to approve or
reject the revised Bylaws
• The proposed draft Bylaws will be posted on the MPA website
(www.mpa.mb.ca) for review prior to the AGM
