A crowd of almost 60 people attended the BNIA’s annual meeting of members last Sunday. They approved a BNIA member dues increase beginning in 2026, and discussed other association business.
A new “Open Forum” format prioritized member questions, rather than reports and addresses from the front. As one member said afterwards: “If I’m going to give up half of a beautiful day to come to a meeting, I at least want to know that I have a voice!”
In addition to BNIA members, also attending were the new Executive Director of the Georgian Bay Association (Meredith Denning), our Township Reeve (Bert Liverance), and the new Township Chief Administrative Officer (John MacKinnon), plus two young staffers from the Georgian Bay Biosphere (Emma Berton and Emma Christenson).
