News and Reflections: AAMS AGM 2021 -- October 6, 2021

The 2021 AAMS Annual General Meeting (AGM) was held at the Salmon River fire hall on September 25th, 2021. The AGM is normally held the first Sunday in March but due to Covid-19 restrictions it was delayed until such a gathering could be legally held. A much scaled down AGM had to be presented to remain within the confines of provincially imposed restrictions.

AAMS Director, Gaétan Dugas (Caraquet N.B.), opens the AGM. Also pictured are Joseph Jacquard, (Wedgeport) First Vice-President, and Marcel d’Entremont (West Pubnico) President.
