Becoming a member of the society gives you a voice toward ensuring that our programs and services continue to meet the needs of our community.
Our Annual General Meeting of the Alberni Valley Hospice Society will be held at 7pm on Wednesday September 10, 2025 at the RimRock Casino located at 4890 Cherry Creek Rd, Port Alberni.
Everyone welcome to attend.
A review of the Alberni Valley Hospice Society (AVHS) Bylaws was conducted by the Governance Group in early 2022 and was further reviewed by legal entity to ensure that our Bylaws were in compliance with the updated Societies Amendment Act 2021.
At the Extraordinary General Meeting of April 26, 2022, the Special Resolution that the Bylaws of the AVHS be repealed and replaced with the new bylaws was unanimously approved by the membership.
In order to ensure compliance with PART II: MEMBERSHIP #4 of the ACT which states “a person may apply to the directors for membership in the Society and on acceptance by the directors is a member” the board has revised the application process.
