2026 AGM
Annual General Meeting
As has been the case for many years, the CEC’s AGM is held as a hybrid event. Present at the in-person venue are CEC Board and Administration members, members of the CEC and persons interested in its activities. A video webcast is transmitted from the venue to allow the active participation of those who cannot attend in person.
The meeting is open to anyone wishing to attend (not just current members), but only CEC Permanent/Full Members whose accounts are in good standing, Patron and Honorary Members may vote.
- Information on becoming a member can be found here.

- The CEC is considering applying to the Department of Canadian Heritage for designation as a National Arts Service Organization (NASO). If approved, this would then allow us to apply to the Canada Revenu Agency for status as a Registered NASO. This would offer significant potential benefits, primarily allowing the CEC to issue official receipts for gifts or donations received with the same benefits as registered charitable organizations, which in turn provides the donor with a tax credit. This is potentially of enormous value to the CEC, as the SOCAN foundation funding that has allowed us to operate for many years will soon be coming to an end. Any members with questions or views about this proposal are welcome to raise them at this year’s AGM.
