Annual General Meeting 2025
Building Our Future, Together
It’s that time again — when we gather as a Chamber community to reflect, reconnect, and look ahead to another exciting year in Cowichan. Join us for our 2025 Annual General Meeting as we celebrate the milestones of the past year, welcome new and returning Directors, and share ideas for the year to come.
We’re delighted to welcome Renée Olson, CPM, MBA, Interim CEO of Khowutzun Development Corporation, as our guest speaker. Renée is known for her optimism, leadership, and ability to bring people together around shared goals. She works closely with Quw’utsun Citizens to support their businesses and projects, building stronger partnerships across the region. A champion for women in trades and former Education Director of the Women in Construction (WiC) Victoria Chapter, Renée brings a unique mix of private-sector insight and community spirit to every conversation.
What to Expect
Enjoy a delicious appetizer buffet from Vancouver Island Event Catering, topped off with desserts from Duncan Garage Café & Bakery. A cash bar will be available.
Members in good standing will elect or acclaim the 2025 Board of Directors. Please ensure your membership is current to participate in voting.
We’re also collecting non-food donations and cash for the Toys, Toiletries & Toques initiative — a simple way to bring comfort and care to local families this holiday season.
