2023 ICCT Annual General Meeting
January 28 @ 2:00 pm - 3:00 pm
The Icelandic Canadian Club of Toronto (ICCT) Annual General Meeting will be held on Sunday, January 28th, 2024 at 2 pm in-person and online on Zoom. It will be a ‘hybrid meeting’ so you have the option to join online, but we hope to see you in person where you can enjoy some traditional Hangikjöt, Vinarterta and coffee.
Attendance requires registering on the link below. After registering, you will receive a confirmation email with a Zoom link to the Annual General Meeting and/or the address for the live event. Our in-person meeting is in a downtown Toronto location easy to access by public transportation and with parking close by.
At the event, we will be pleased to have a chance to speak to a representative from Icelandic Roots and hear about their amazing resources for discovering your Icelandic ancestors. Icelandic Roots (IR) recently launched a new directory. Over the past five years, their volunteers have uploaded all the records from the Vesturfaraskrá – the book listing the names of 14,268 emigrants who sailed on various ships from Iceland to North America. Many of you will remember at our Thorrablót last year, we brought the ICCT’s hard copy of Vesturfaraskrá and members connected the farms their ancestors journeyed from to their North American homesteads.
At the AGM meeting there will be a call for election of Board members. The ICCT Board needs new volunteers, so do please consider joining the Board. Many hands make the work light – and fun! It is a great way to get to know other Icelandophiles and to learn more about your Icelandic heritage. This coming year is exciting as it is the 150th anniversary of the Kinmount Icelanders who came to settle here in the cold winter of 1874.
The AGM documents, including the Agenda, Director’s Reports, Financial Statements and Draft Minutes from last year’s AGM will be available by request and will be presented at the AGM meeting. They will then be posted with our online records after the AGM.
If you can attend the AGM, please register in the space below! We are looking forward to seeing you there in person, or in the Zoom gallery online.
On behalf of the ICCT Board,
Gwen Sigrid Morgan
ICCT President
