This Convention Call is issued under the direction of the Dominion Executive Council in accordance with Section 901 of The General By-Laws. 2. PROGRAM A detailed program is enclosed, however, the following is provided as a summary of activities: Registration Commences Saturday, 11 June 2016 at the St. John s Convention Centre and concludes Sunday, 12 June 2016 Workshops Three sessions are scheduled for Saturday afternoon, 11 June 2016, at the Delta St. John s Hotel Opening Ceremony Sunday, 12 June 2016 at the St. John s Convention Centre Business Sessions Commence following the Opening Ceremony on Sunday, 12 June 2016, St. John s Convention Centre and conclude Tuesday, 14 June 2016 Installation and Closing Ceremonies Tuesday afternoon, 14 June 2016, following the close of business 3. DELEGATES a. Branches: To determine your branch representation: every branch is entitled to send one accredited delegate for every 100 voting members or fraction thereof, which includes ordinary, life, associate and affiliate-voting members (Subsection 903.a). branch representation is based on the number of paid-up voting members at the end of the preceding calendar year (Subsection 903.b). However, every delegate to a Dominion Convention must be paid up to the end of the current year (Section 905). Delegates, therefore, must be members in good standing and paid up to 31 December branches formed on or after 1 January 2016 are entitled to send one delegate to the convention; the delegate must have their dues paid up to 31 December 2016 (Subsection 903.c). 4 CONVENTION CALL // 46TH DOMINION CONVENTION

5 It is vital to the successful organization of the convention that branches pay particular attention to the above constitutional requirements. b. Dominion Executive Council: Voting members of the Dominion Executive Council who are not accredited branch delegates shall be accredited delegates to the convention (Subsection 907.a), however, they may only carry proxies if they are an accredited branch delegate as defined in Section 911 of The General By-Laws. c. Past Dominion Presidents: All Past Dominion Presidents who are not accredited branch delegates shall be accredited delegates to Convention (Subsection 907.b), however, they may only carry proxies if they are an accredited branch delegate as defined in Section 911 of The General By-Laws. 4. DELEGATE ACCREDITATION: CREDENTIAL CERTIFICATE To become an accredited delegate, branches are to complete the enclosed Credential Certificate and forward to your Provincial Command office. Additional copies may be obtained from your command office. It is important that the Credential Certificate be completed properly. The Convention Credentials Committee must ensure that individuals registering as delegates are properly accredited; if incorrect or incomplete information is received, the member s accreditation could be jeopardized. Provincial Commands will provide delegate lists to the Convention Credentials Committee prior to the opening of registration. Important: It is extremely important that only delegates accredited by their branch be permitted to take an active part in deciding matters of policy at a Dominion Convention. The Convention Credentials Committee does not wish to turn away any properly accredited delegate; neither does the committee wish to permit unauthorized persons to vote on matters of Legion policy. 5. VOTING AND PROXIES Only accredited delegates may vote at convention (Section 914). Each delegate will have one vote; when an election ballot vote is required, however, proxies may be used. any delegate, accredited by the branch of which he is a member, may carry, in addition to his own credentials, up to four proxy credentials. These proxies may be from any branch or branches within his own Provincial Command (Section 911). proxies must be registered at the opening of the convention and may only be used when an election ballot vote is required (Section 912). Every proxy, to be valid, shall include a credential certificate naming the delegate entitled to register such proxy (Section 913). A branch that wishes to be represented by proxy must complete a Credential Certificate in order that the delegate designated as the holder of the proxy can make use of the vote(s) at their disposal. Strict attention to this requirement will prevent delay and possible disappointment when credentials are being examined by the Convention Credentials Committee. Important: In order for a delegate to carry proxies, the person must be an accredited delegate of their own branch. 6. REGISTRATION PROCESS Delegates and observers will register at the St. John s Convention Centre. Upon payment of the registration fee, delegates and observers will be provided with a delegate kit and meeting book; they will then be directed to their respective Provincial Command desk where they will be issued a nametag and ballot book(s) as applicable. 7. REGISTRATION FEES The fees, payable in cash only at the time of registration in St. John s, are: Delegate: $60 Observer: $20 46TH DOMINION CONVENTION // CONVENTION CALL 5

We anticipate that this book will become a much sought after souvenir by the convention attendees and anyone who appreciates the sacrifices made at Beaumont Hamel. Of course, all this cannot be done without your support by purchasing advertising space in our book. To complete this book, we are anticipating sending all content to the printer on March 31, Therefore we offer the following selection for advertisements: Full Page - $1, Half Page - $ Quarter Page - $ Business Card - $ We are also offering a number of options on layout and size as well as a few special pages. We will offer the back cover, inside cover pages, bottom of a page banner, and possibly a front cover banner. The booklet size will be 8.5 x 11 inches. I hope that you can help with this rewarding project. We anticipate these books will be in high demand, even for non delegates. Don t miss this opportunity to be associated.
