For those of you still wanting to run for any of the positions (President, Executive Vice-President, VP Finance and VP External Affairs) you have until Monday October 24th, 2011 to send in your nomination. You can e-mail your nomination to davidgick@gmail.com. Please specify your name, year of study and the position you are running for.

We would like to remind everyone that if quorum is not made (15% of the students enrolled in the program at the time of the election) the votes that are casted will not count. Please show your support for your student association by participating.

Also – after the last day of voting (November 2nd) there will be a meet-up at The Standard Pub on Elgin St. beginning at 7:30pm. It’s a great chance to meet your new student association and begin planning for the year to come! The Standard also has awesome drink deals on Wednesday nights … not that that matters.

Thank you again for your support and cooperation throughout this process. We apologize for the delays thus far in the election process, and are hoping that things begin moving smoothly from here on in.

Sincerely,

Your CGSA
