Dear members, as we approach our last meeting of the year, our May AGM, we are planning the Election of Officers and Executive Members for 2022/2023.
The members of the executive would like to extend a personal invitation to each of our members to consider attending the AGM, which will be in a hybrid format (via Zoom and ‘in person’). The business meeting will start at 9:45 am, followed, at 11:00 am, by the speakers’ program!
Here is how the hybrid model of our AGM works. The Zoom link will be sent out to all members along with the May AGM Agenda + Reports package, one week prior to the meeting. The ‘in person’ meeting will be held in the BCPVPA Office (Address: 525 10th Avenue Bikeway, Vancouver, B.C.).

Hearing 101: Love your Ears
submitted by Eileen Phillips
Please join us at 11:00 a.m. on May 11 for the final session of this year. The presentation will be given by a team from HearingLife. They will be Zooming in from Toronto.
This will be an interactive session and is titled Hearing 101: all you need to know. You will leave the session knowing how to “love your ears” and all the things that hearing makes possible. You might even win a prize since there will be prizes awarded for questions answered. Doesn’t this sound informative and fun? Please join us for the AGM on May 11 and stay for this presentation at 11:00.
Thank you to the members who join us for our Speakers’ Series. Most of our speakers donate their time and expertise to us and they appreciate having a live audience for their presentation.
