CWM Electronic Mission Conference

The Canada West Mission Centre will hold its first Electronic Mission Conference on Saturday, February 3, 2018. Initially we will plan on it taking about 2 hours beginning at  10 a.m. PST, 11 a.m. MST, 12 p.m. CST.

The conference will operate according to the electronic conference procedures approved at the 2016 Mission Conference in Ribstone.

Agenda items will include the following at minimum:

- Canada West Mission Centre contribution to support World Church

- Acceptance of 2014 Audited Financial Information

- Potential amendments to the Electronic Meeting Procedures

Additions are expected to the agenda. If your congregation has an item to add to the agenda, it must be received no later than two weeks prior to the conference.

All congregations should plan to elect delegates for this conference just as are elected for regular conferences.

It will be Internet based so Internet access will be required for participation. If a congregation does not have Internet access in their building, another location may be used (home, business, hotel conference room, etc.). Please: only one location per congregation.  Two or more congregations coming together in one location will certainly be acceptable.

Non-resident members may be represented in a business meeting in a similar ratio from each province. Delegates may be appointed by the Mission Centre President at least 2 weeks prior to the business meeting. Non-resident members can “volunteer” to serve as delegates with notice to the Mission Centre President no later than two weeks prior to the business meeting.

Much more information will be shared between now and the date. Watch for it!

I know it may feel early, but I encourage you to reserve your            hotel rooms as soon as possible.  Labour Day weekend is a                huge football weekend in Regina, and all of the hotel rooms                  will be sold out soon for the Saturday night.  We have a group           rate at the Ramada Plaza use code

CGC0C4 email regina@saskramada.com or call 306-569-1444

1Queen bed – $117 p/night 

2 Queen beds $124 p/night

$12 per 3rd and 4th adults in room (children are free)

$15 per night parking

This hotel is 4.5 km from the Regina church.  There are other          hotels closer to the church, but the rates were substantially            higher and we wanted to make this weekend affordable for        everyone who would like to come out to see President Veazey.        Please feel free to book anywhere you like but again, we urge            you to do that very soon.  You can always cancel your room             closer to the conference if needed.
