Annual General Meeting

An Annual General Meeting (AGM) is held each year so  Cooperative Memorial Society (CMS) members come together to:

• Hear Updates – Learn about CMS’s activities, finances, and plans for the future.
• Vote on Important Decisions – Members have a say in key matters, including electing the Board of Directors.
• Ask Questions & Share Feedback – It’s an opportunity to engage with CMS leadership and help shape the direction of the organization.

As a member-run cooperative, CMS values your participation. The AGM is your chance to stay informed, have your voice heard, and ensure we continue serving our members effectively.

Our next AGM is February 28, 2026.
