Annual General Meeting - 2023

Sep. 10, 2023

What is the AGM?

The Annual General Meeting (AGM) is where the Association reports to its members. It gives members an opportunity to respond, react and provide input - becoming part of our solution to provide better baseball for the youth in our community.

Hello Kanata Baseball Families,

This year's Kanata Baseball Association (KBA) Annual General Meeting (AGM) is scheduled for October 17th at 7:00 p.m @ the Tony Graham Recreation Complex (formally the Kanata Rec Complex, KRC) at 100 Charlie Rogers Pl; in Hall A. We are excited to hold this meeting in person for the first time since 2019 ! Please come and enjoy some much needed face to face fellowship within our baseball league. (I heard there will be snacks!!! :)

KBA members are invited to attend this meeting to hear updates on our programs, operations and finances, to participate in the election of KBA Executive Board members, and to recognize our outstanding volunteers from the 2023 season.

We Love our Volunteers! (and need more)

Our 2023 AGM will be our first in-person meeting since 2019 and we want to take this opportunity to recognize the volunteers who work tirelessly to get our kids on the baseball fields!

For our upcoming season there are a number critical one-year director, convener, manager and committee positions that need volunteers. Remember, the KBA is 100% volunteer-driven and we need help to provide a positive baseball experience for all our players. In the past few years we have increased the scope of our program offerings, (winter skills, girls baseball, fall ball etc) and we need a lot of help to run all of these programs.
