Welcome to the website RCMP VETERANS’ ASSOCIATION CONVENTION AND ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING (AGM) OTTAWA June 5 to 8, 2014 MESSAGE FROM PRESIDENT OTTAWA DIVISION MESSAGE FROM CHAIR, 2014 AGM OUR THEME PROGRAMME REGISTRATION ACCOMMODATION TRANSPORTATION DELEGATE INSIDER BADGE GUIDED TOUR – PARLIAMENT HILL GUIDED TOUR – ROYAL CANADIAN MINT Friendship. Support. Stay Connected! GOLF ACTIVITY SPONSORS PATRONS AND DONORS SUPPORTERS ORGANIZING COMMITTEE CONTACT - QUESTIONS 2014.04.23 Ottawa Tourism Friendship. Support. Stay Connected! Message from the President, Ottawa Division Greetings all: On behalf of the Ottawa Division, and our 2014 Organizing Committee, please accept my invitation to come and join us from June 5-8 at “Rendez-Vous Ottawa 2014”! Under the able leadership of Bill Lenton and his team, we are well on the way to preparing a unique agenda for you and those travelling with you. Make a point of gathering friends from within your own division - come one, come all. There is no better opportunity to connect and re-connect with those you've served with across this great country. For many of you, Ottawa is a place that will hold its own memories from earlier postings. For those of you who fashion yourselves fortunate to have missed or evaded a tour through National Headquarters, you have yet to discover the magic of the National Capital Region. Regardless of how long you have been a member of the Vets, if you have yet to experience a Convention and an Annual General Meeting (AGM), I can assure you that there are new friends and acquaintances to be made. And notwithstanding the social aspect of the AGM, you may just find the workings of the business agenda sufficiently compelling to get you thinking about taking a more active role in either local or national affairs of the Association! You will see from our “Rendez-Vous Ottawa 2014” messaging that we are clearly focused on the raison d'être of the Association which underscores the importance of friendship, support and connectedness. Do your part, register now! I look forward to seeing you here in Ottawa. Best regards, Graham Muir, President, Ottawa Division 2014.01.10 Friendship. Support. Stay Connected! Message from Chair, Convention and Annual General Meeting (AGM) 2014 Greetings: My team and I are really looking forward to welcoming you to the Convention and Annual General Meeting (AGM) “Rendez-Vous Ottawa 2014”. It was important for us to adopt a theme that would capture the essence of the RCMP Veterans’ Association; we are proud to promote “Friendship. Support. Stay Connected!” On the next page of this information package, you will be able to gain more insight on the composition of our theme. One key objective for us was to move forward with the Annual General Meeting (AGM) model and offer you a “conference- style approach”. Our Friday morning program, once finalized, will have an exciting series of presentations on issues that are of interest to Veterans, families and guests. Of course, all attendees are encouraged to take advantage of these informative sessions. For the AGM, there is significant business to be done, especially this year. The new Canada Not-For-Profit Corporations Act legislation will have a significant impact on our way of doing business and is coming into effect soon. A resolution will be introduced to adopt the required Articles and revised by-laws. On Sunday, the Ottawa Division will be proud to showcase its cornerstone project – the RCMP National Memorial Cemetery at Beechwood. This is an example of what can be done by RCMP Veterans when they take charge of a vision. The Beechwood Centre is ideal for our Sunday service while the beautiful grounds offer a magnificent setting. Of course, throughout we hope you spend time with friends, reminisce, make new friends and enjoy the beautiful city of Ottawa. We hope you come away with a sense of empowerment, collegiality and inspiration. Bill Lenton, Chair Rendez-Vous Ottawa 2014 2014.01.10 Welcome to the website of the 2014 AGM – June 5 to 8 Friendship. Support. Stay Connected! OUR THEME: Friendship - one of the underpinning concepts of our event but, more importantly, of the overall Association. Support - as an Association we willingly provide support – even beyond and besides friendship. This is particularly true for surviving spouses who may not see themselves initially as “friends” but will unequivocally receive support. We can’t wait to welcome you to Ottawa, Canada’s capital, and to offer you an exciting program of activities. June is a beautiful time to be in Ottawa. The average weather is 24 degrees. Along with many historic buildings and museums, the city offers you great scenery with the Rideau Canal and many parks located in the downtown core. Browse on line the Ottawa tourism website to view the video Stay connected - the Association is a vehicle by which retired and retiring members can maintain those valuable connections made during their career association with the RCMP. The dots – are indicative of today’s electronic communications and the ease with which we can in fact remain supportive and connected friends even over long distances – again a reality for many retired and retiring members. 2013.05.27 http://www.ottawatourism.ca/en/travel-trade/travel-trade-toolkit/videos Photo - Ottawa Tourism RCMP VETERANS’ ASSOCIATION CONVENTION AND ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING OTTAWA JUNE 5 TO 8, 2014 Draft Programme Transportation from airport, train or bus terminals will be provided as per requests on registration forms to the extent possible Thursday June 5 09:00 - 19:00 09:00 - 18:00 15:00 - 20:00 17:00 - 19:00 19:00 Information booth open Golf day activity - independent event (see details in info package) Pre-registration Ottawa Division President's Reception for all registered participants - Background music by Randy Demmon (cash bar) Dinner - individual responsibility Friday June 6 07:30 - 20:30 07:30 - 09:00 09:00 - 12:00 10:00 - 19:00 10:00 - 10:30 12:00 - 13:15 13:30 - 16:00 13:00 - 16:00 15:00 – 16:00 17:00 - 19:00 Rev 2014.03.02.
