SOCIETY of CANADIAN CINE AMATEURS

for Amateur, Student, and Professional Film and Video Makers

Annual General Meetings

The Annual General Meeting of the Society of Canadian Cine Amateurs are held every year in Stoney Creek, Ontario. In addition to the required discussions and votes concerning legal matters, we use the AGM for the Presentation of Awards and Winning Videos.

     The meetings are held in the Council Chambers at the former Stoney Creek City Hall. This beautiful new building was suddenly made redundant when Stoney Creek was forced into the New City of Hamilton, and currently houses several departments of Hamilton City Hall (which didn’t need to be located downtown) and a local branch of the Hamilton Public Library. The municipalities forced to submit to annexation have been allowed to continue to use their own names for postal purposes and proud traditions, and the building now has two very different signs in front of the building, Stoney Creek City Hall and Hamilton Public Library Stoney Creek Branch, which is mentioned here so that those looking for it won’t be confused.

     The AGM includes the Presentation of Committee Reports, Elections of Officers, and members’ discussion of questions raised from the floor by Members will follow. This portion of the Annual General Meeting usually concludes within the hour. We begin the next part of the day with a screening of selected old films from the CIAFF Library, which has proven very popular since it was introduced in recent years.

     At 5:00 PM we adjourn and go to a local restaurant (about a kilometer) for supper, and then reconvene at 7:00 PM for the Screening of Winning Videos from the 2006 SCCA Annual Competition, and the Presentation of Awards. We expect to conclude the evening before 10:00 PM.

     The maps included here should make it easy for everyone to find the Stoney Creek City Hall. Those coming from Brantford, Toronto, and Niagara will most likely come via the Queen Elizabeth Highway, and will find it very easy to take Exit #83 from either direction, turn south (away from Lake Ontario) onto Fruitland Road, and turn left at the second traffic light onto Highway #8, heading east. Stoney Creek City Hall is at the intersection of Highway #8 and Jones Road.

There is plenty of free parking! And NO ADMISSION CHARGE!

     We hope you will be able to attend, but urge all those who can’t to PLEASE MAIL IN YOUR PROXIES. The SCCA is a Federally Regulated Charity, and can’t legally conduct our legally required meeting without a quorum!
