HELPING OUR COMMUNITY GROW TOGETHER

OUR COMMUNITY GOVERNANCE

Incorporated March 20, 2001, Haida Gwaii Recreation is structured to pursue grants and additional funding from non-government and community recreation-based grants, program fees, donation and other sources. Commission membership and Society directorship are reviewed yearly at Annual General Meetings.

Community members interested in becoming a Commissioner or Member-at-Large must submit a letter of intent outlining their interest and experience in recreation to the Commission at least seven (7) days prior to the Annual General Meetings.
