Snowdusters seek volunteers to fill executive slots

MANITOULIN—The Manitoulin Snowdusters annual general meeting was held in Providence Bay on Tuesday, April 18 with all executive and all coordinator positions up for nomination, but the meeting ended without filling the president’s and vice-president’s positions.

“Both president Dave Mack and I stepped down,” said Al Davey, who noted that many of the executive positions remain unfilled despite a turnout of 15 to 20 people at the meeting.

“We will be holding a meeting on June 14, location to be determined,” said Mr. Davey. “We are asking all volunteers to attend the next meeting.”

Mr. Davey explained the consequences of not filling out an executive slate. “If we don’t get a president and vice-president, it would mean that the club would slip to being a chapter of the Sudbury club,” he said.

The Manitoulin Snowdusters groom and otherwise maintain the snowmobile trail system on Manitoulin Island. The club recently inaugurated a new trail to Little Current named in honour of the late OPP Constable Marc Hovingh.
