Our Retiree Scrutineers

Congratulations to the new LL2468 (RRC) Negotiation Committee members!  Ivan Halar, Kim Greenwood and Sylvia Baard have been voted-in to become the three additional members of the LL2468 (RRC) Negotiation Committee, joining previously instated member Matt McGinn, VP of LL2468.

Please join me in wishing them success in their new roles!

Voter turn-out was approximately 65%.  That’s pretty much on par with voter turnout at federal elections and referendums for the past two decades, but we could do better!
