Additional motions to be discussed:
Motion brought forth by Martin Launiere on 21 Sep 2023
Motion - To nominate Mr Gerald Gosselin (Past GCGH President) as the Chairman for this years AGM.
Reasoning - According to the current Bylaws article 10.07, the chairman of the AGM is to be the corporation's president. However, for this years AGM it would be best that a non member be allowed to oversee the AGM to ensure the order is kept and an efficient AGM is carried out. The member being proposed is the past-president of the GCGH and is selected due to their knowledge, understanding and proceedings of the corporation.
First - Marlo MacDonald
Second - John Bower
Motion Accepted to the AGM
Motion brought forth by Guy Lagace on 24 Sep 2023
Motion - To leave By-law 2 Article 3.03 c as is to a maximum of 6yrs.
Reasoning - It is in the best interest of the association and allows for new people on the board more often for a shared view.

Motion Accepted to the AGM
Motion brought forth by Guy Lagace on 24 Sep 2023
Motion - To leave By-law 2 Article 5.05 c as written such that anybody who has served one year past or current can serve as president.
