To Members of the Swim Community:

We are entering an exciting era in our sport. Our athletes, our coaches, our staff and our volunteers are strong and getting stronger.

To meet the needs of our vibrant sport, we are in the process of updating our bylaws to better meet their needs.

In the weeks since the bylaws were first presented for comment, we have received a lot of positive feedback. Thank you. We have also heard some concerns and many of those concerns have been addressed in changes we have made in advance of March 20 special general meeting.

We are fully committed to ensuring that there is a full and transparent process for proceeding on these proposed changes. This is your organization. Your views and input are essential.

Anyone who has concerns about the proposed bylaws is free to attend our board meeting at our new office at Sport Manitoba (145 Pacific Avenue just behind the Manitoba Museum) Tuesday evening starting at 5:30 p.m.

Those who can’t attend in person can participate by conference call. Email us for more details.

We recognize there is short notice for this invitation.

Anyone who can’t participate and is still interested in having their views heard can contact Swim/Natation Manitoba(925-5779, swim.ed@sportmanitoba.ca) and we will facilitate another forum before our special general meeting.

Thank you for your interest and patience.

It is our sincere hope to build our sport together.

Peter Dalla-Vicenza
Secretary
