Hello Members and friends of Whitewater Ontario:

I am very pleased to introduce the WO 2012 Executive and Board of Directors as decided at our Annual General Meeting held last Saturday at the Roger Parsons Centre.  A big thank you to all who attended and to those who put their names forward to serve on our board for the next year.  We are particularly pleased to see some new faces in our directors and members-at-large. While we still have two vacancies to fill, the board will be looking to appoint individuals to these positions on an interim basis or for the duration of the one year term.

With the support of the board and in order to comply with Pan Am 2015 protocol, we have added a board position specific to this major international event for at least the next four years.  Watch for the next WO Update to learn more about our involvement with the 2015 Pan Am Games and the Canoe/Kayak Slalom event scheduled for the Gull.

I feel privileged to continue as WO President and look forward to working with our new board on behalf of Ontario's whitewater paddlers.

-Jim
