Gabriola Health Care Foundation ("GHCF") 
Minutes of the 2022 Annual General Meeting 
November 22, 2022
The 2022 GHCF AGM was conducted by electronic mail. The following describes how the meeting was conducted.

Gabriola Health Care Foundation 2022 AGM Report
The GHCF 2022 Annual general Meeting was held, primarily, electronically. A brief summary of the meeting follows:
1. An introductory letter (copy below) was sent to members to describe the process and to provide links to the GHCF website where there were links to the various committee reports and instructions on how to nominate additional directors, ask questions, and how to vote.
2. 468 copies of the email instructions were sent electronically to those members that provided GHCF with their email addresses. (The number mailed is less than the number of members as some members share email addresses.) 327 of those emails were opened, some a number of times with 762 total opens. 75 individual members clicked through to the web site with a total of 145 clicks. Nine of the emails bounced, apparently because the address is no longer active or GHCF has been blocked. One member unsubscribed.
3. In addition, hard copies of the letter were mailed to the roughly 20 members that did not provide GHCF with an email address and about another 20 to members to whom emails had previously bounced. As a result, GHCF received about 4 corrections to our email address list.
4. If a member had a question, it was to be submitted to GHCF by November 14. GHCF agreed to distribute the answers to questions of general interest to the members. There were no questions.
5. Members were asked to vote on two questions:
a. To approve the slate of nominated directors, and
b. To adopt the minutes of the 2021 AGM
6. Twenty-six members voted, all in favour of the nominated directors and all but two in favour of adopting the 2021 minutes. Those two abstained because they did not participate in the 2021 AGM.
7. As a result, the following were elected as directors, each for a three-year term to 2025:
a. Don Elkington
b. Carol Fergusson
c. Harvey Graham
d. Marc Herrmann
e. Chris Loranger
f. Donald Sutherland
8. In addition, those directors continuing in their terms are:
a. To 2023
i. Dyan Dunsmoor-Farley
b. To 2024:
i. Diane Cornish
ii. Nancy Rowan
9. The AGM adjourned at 6:00 PM, November 22, 2022.

5.0 Presidents Report:

Jill Adamson, Vice-President, presented the 2011/2012 report. A copy is attached to these minutes in the GHCF Minute Book. Jill congratulated everyone, as we have built an amazing Community Health Care Centre. August 5th 2012 Opening and Ribbon Ceremony set a benchmark for community participation where the volunteer labour was completed for the Doctors to take occupancy June 10th 2012, just 10 months from the start of construction. Finalizing construction for the first floor, designed from the outset for sustainability by partnering with health related businesses, is now underway. Landscaping continues and volunteers are invited to contact Mike Phillips.

With the Foundation’s main purpose of a health centre for the doctors completed, the GHCF board is asking you, the members, to add to the purposes of the Foundation, to expand to pursue Community Health Care opportunities. Resolution #1, later in the agenda. Thank you to all of you who donated the $1.4 million to build the centre. Future donations will go to funds to maintain, improve and equip the Urgent Care Room, etc. The design and names on the Donor Wall, the Volunteer Wall and Rooms will be one of the first priorities of the new Board.

6.0 Treasurer's Report:

Harvey Graham, Treasurer, presented the financial chart overview for 2011&2012, showing the Funds for the GHCF. These included charts for the Balance Sheet -Assets; Balance sheet Liabilities & Equity, and Source of Donations & Pledges. A copy is attached to these minutes in the GHCF Minute Book
.
7.0 Building Committee Report: 
Chuck Connor, Building Committee Chair, presented the Building Committee Report. A copy is attached to these minutes in the GHCF Minute Book. Chuck noted that our preliminary design and cost structure was $1,383,229.00 ($1.4 to make it simple) and the actual cost came in at $1,165,787 with $217,442 under budget. Construction Estimate chart is attached in the Minutes book.

The 1st Floor which will be going to completion is costed at $207,336. So funds left will be $10,106. Chuck said there is a 20% contingency fund built into this phase of the construction also. There were no corners cut, and the quality was always the best. Estimated volunteer labour could be equated with the cost of the materials. Amazingly talented people came forward such as just recently, two people volunteered to set up the automated night landing lights on the helicopter pad and a system where the incoming pilot can trigger the lights to turn on 15 km out.

8.0 Health Centre Management Committee:
Konrad Mauch (chair), Chuck Connor, Harvey Graham, Earl Miller, Mike Phillips, Inge Fretheim. Chuck Connor, presented the mandate of the Health Centre Management to meet Foundation goals regarding urgent care services, integration of health care services and financial sustainability of the Centre. These are; 1. Prepare the annual budget 2. Building Management, operation and maintenance costs. 3. Manage tenant relationships 4. Manage relationships with physicians to maintain and, if possible, improve the quality of urgent care services. See attached report to the 2012 minute book.
8.1. Questions from the Floor
A member asked about landing usage for the Helicopter Pad. Chuck said the Fire Hall has been restricted in using their Helicopter landing site as both would be in the same flight path. We will look at any emergency service requests such as the Police or Coast Guard usage and that is why the area will have lights on approach.

9.0 Special Resolutions:
9.1 SPECIAL RESOLUTION #1
Resolved that Section 2 of the Constitution of the Gabriola Health Care Foundation, (the “purposes” clause) be repealed and replaced with the following: “2. The purpose of the Foundation is to improve the primary health care services for the residents of and visitors to Gabriola Island, B.C. by:
(a) identifying the health care needs of those residents and visitors;
(b)working alone or in partnership with any qualified donees, as defined in subsection 149.1 of the income Tax Act (Canada), or with any Canadian government body to develop and/or deliver programs to address those needs;
(c) providing medical facilities and/or medical equipment to be used for the benefit of residents of and visitors to Gabriola Island and (d) gifting funds to qualified donees, as defined in subsection 149.1(1) of the income Tax Act (Canada).”
9.2 Questions from the Floor
A member asked if these programs would work collaboratively or would this become another non-profit organization. From the floor, Nancy Rowan said that any group can do a needs assessment, and once needs are identified they may choose to take on a project with themselves or with another group. There is a Health Care Forum October 20th 2012 coming up which is the second one that GHCF has initiated and we will see what recommendations evolve.
Nancy Nevison said as a tax beneficiary with Revenue Canada, when the GHC Foundation takes on more of a role with health programs this broadens their charitable role from simply landlord.
MOTION FOR SPECIAL RESOLUTION #1; Lawrence Spero/ Harvey Graham CARRIED 100%

9.3 SPECIAL RESOLUTION #2:
Section 25 of the by-laws currently provides for: -up to three representative directors appointed by their respective groups, and -a minimum of five and up to a maximum of eleven elected directors elected by the members of the society. This resolution would repeal the 3 representative directors from the Lions, Ambulance and the Doctors. Jill Adamson thanked them for their thoughtful participation during the conception and building of the Medical Centre.
Resolved that the provision for “representative” or appointed directors be removed from the Bylaws of the Gabriola Health Care Foundation by:
(a) repealing section 25 of the bylaws and replacing it with the following: “There shall be a minimum of five and a maximum of eleven directors.”
(b) by making all other changes to the bylaws as are necessary to remove all references to “elected” and “representative” directors. MOTION FOR SPECIAL RESOLUTION #2; Mike Phillips/ Dave Innell CARRIED 100%

9.4 SPECIAL RESOLUTION #3:
Resolved that Section 39 of the by-laws of the Gabriola Health Care Foundation (the Section dealing with the election of Directors) be amended by removing the words “shall be elected for a term of three years” and replacing them with the words “shall be elected to hold office until, at a maximum, the third following Annual General Meeting of the society.”
MOTION FOR SPECIAL RESOLUTION #3: Harvey Graham/ Mike Phillips CARRIED 100%

6.1 Welcome & Presidents Report:
( See attached report-Presidents Report.) Jill spoke on the gifts of 3 properties to build the clinic in 2011, with the board choosing the site at the top of Church Street, the gracious gift of Dr Bob Rooks. She made a quick summary of the 9 month process of the re-zoning process and success. Jill commented on the Public Hearing at The Haven Auditorium with 170 people present and the respectfulness in addressing the community with divergent views. The fundraising events in the last year have successfully raised $1,037,997.00 to date, approaching our target goal of $1.4 million. There is $380,000 more to raise. Jill explained that $1.4 million appears to be a small amount to build a clinic of 4,000 sq feet plus the basement and she complimented the tradespeople and crafts people who have made free donations of labour, supplies and skills. Arbutus Lumber has donated all supplies to the Clinic Building at cost. The Re-zoning was granted in July 2011 and Potlatch Company applied for the Building Permit so construction began immediately. We expect the subdivision and land title transfer before the end of October, 2011 from the Islands Trust. Jill Adamson showed building construction photos where the foundation has been completed, the framing started. (See attached Report 12,13,14,&15)
6.2 Jill Adamson announced the News of a third Doctor, Dr. Danielle Behn Smith, who will be starting part time at the clinic Oct 3, 2011 and begin full time May 2012 when the building opens.
7.0 Financial Report: Harvey Graham provided GHCF Report. (See attached report page 16)

7.2 Harvey broke down the donations further for 2011 on the attached Report Page 18 with $857,000 in donations directly from Gabiolans.
8.0 Building Committee - Chuck Connor
8.1 (See attached Report pages 19 & 20 written and pages 21 & 22 photos) To date although we were a month late due to the 4th Reading approval we have caught up and on time. The foundations taking less time than anticipated and the framing is now in progress . Roofing should be completed late October, early November. The design and engineering work are completed, it was a long and arduous task.
8.2 Construction Budget discussed by Chuck Connor - with clearer numbers and the unexpected cost areas. Chuck explained the large project cost areas in broad numbers (See attached Report page 23) Followed by a thorough break down explaining the unexpected cost areas. (See attached Report Page 24)
9.0 Operating Plan - Konrad Mauch (see attached Report 25 &26)
9.1 The Operating plan suggests the yearly operating expense with our brand new building will be between $30 - $40,000 dollars. In response to the question of would we pay property taxes? After many questions, written and verbal, the GHCF has been told that until the building is occupied the Taxation question could not be confirmed. However, many other Island Clinics do not pay property taxes.
9.1 Questions from the Floor A question was raised regarding fluorescent lighting which will be installed for cost effectiveness as LED lighting is too expensive. There can be adjustments with floor lighting and there are windows in each of the doctor’s offices and many skylights throughout. A question was raised regarding water wells and landscaping. The Landscape Architect plans to put in indigenous plantings and drought resistant plants. A question was raised whether there would be an office for the Auxiliary. The answer was that there would be a small office for the GHCF.

The survey is being developed in partnership with VIHA and Sustainable Gabriola as a tool to gather the views of Gabriolans on a wide range of health and wellbeing issues and use the results to guide community groups in planning and prioritizing services on the island. The committee has also been invited to share the results with the OCP review committee. Dave announced that Gabriola is now enjoying its second contract within the Integrated Health Network through VIHA. This provides funding for patients meeting specific criteria for chronic health conditions to be proactive in their health care by accessing a variety of wellness-oriented practitioners. Under the 2009 contract, 70 patients were referred for over 200 visits to 9 different providers of care. The 2010 contract is under development and will focus specifically on exercise.

4.0 Financial Report:
See the AGM Slides for the treasurer's report.

5.0 Building Committee:
Ian Brownlee reviewed all the potential building sites that have been considered by the committee. A key point is that the site must be zoned IN3 for medical clinic use and any land needing to be rezoned to IN3 requires a minimum of 1.24 acres in area. Thus far, no single piece of land studied has met all the criteria established.
• Firehall property – zoning is appropriate but the process for obtaining approval of this use is lengthy and the Fire Trustees are not ready to make a decision
• Don Powell property – zoning is appropriate but no ownership option (only lease)
• Commons – rezoning required and a lengthy process
• Women's Institute – rezoning required and parcel size is too small (0.89 acres)
• van Straten property – appropriate space but rezoning required
• Folklife Village – rezoning required and no ownership option (lease or strata)
• Co-op land – rezoning may be straightforward change, but cost $400K
Recently, the Coats family has approached with a generous offer of land off the corner of North & South Roads (on the ferry hill) for $100K. Rezoning would be required, but the location meets virtually all the selection criteria and allows for possible future needs. The committee is optimistic that the necessary rezoning could be achieved, especially since the site has the support of the fire chief and others. The Highways Department also indicated that it should be able to meet their access requirements. Moved (Brenda Fowler/Dave Innell): that the Gabriola Health Care Society and Foundation undertake the necessary approvals to secure the property at the corner of North & South Roads, known as the Coats Property. CARRIED

6.0 Auxiliary Report:
Nancy Nevison, chair of the Auxiliary, noted that, thus far this year, the Auxiliary has held 16 events/activities and raised over $38,000. Over 60 volunteers have logged over 4600 hours. Her written report is attached to the original minutes.

4.0 Harvey Graham presented a series of special resolutions on behalf of the board to amend the GHCF Constitution and Bylaws so that they better reflect the needs and policies of the foundation.

Special Resolution #1: Resolved that the definition of those who are members of the society in the Bylaws of the Gabriola Health Care Foundation be amended by:
(a) replacing paragraph (1) of Section 4 of the bylaws with the following: “All individual residents of Gabriola Island, B.C. who assent to the purposes of the society and who are at the time at least 19 years of age will be members of the society unless such person has ceased to be a member as provided herein.”
(b) amending paragraph (2) of section 7 of the bylaws to the following: “unless he or she became a member under the provisions of section 4(2), by ceasing to be a resident of Gabriola Island, B.C. ” CARRIED

Special Resolution #2: Resolved that certain directors may be elected for a term of less than three years if this is required to more nearly equate the number of directors whose term will expire each year by adding the following to the end of section 39 of the Bylaws: "In addition, a director or directors may be nominated and elected for a term of less than three years if the nominations committee determines that this is desirable in order to more nearly equate the number of directors whose term will expire each year." CARRIED

Special Resolution #3: Resolved that the procedures for electing directors as set out in the Bylaws of the Gabriola Health Care Foundation be amended by:
(a) repealing section 40 of the bylaws and replacing it with the following: "If the number of directors nominated for election is less than or equal to the maximum number of directors to be elected, as determined by the nominations committee, their election may be by acclamation. However, if requested by a member present at the meeting, the election must be by show of hands or, if requested, by secret ballot. In that event:
(1) The first ballot or show of hands will be to elect, or not to elect, all nominated candidates (the "slate" of candidates). (2) If the majority of the votes are in favour of the slate, then all candidates will be declared elected.
(3) If the majority of the votes are not in favour of the slate, then a separate ballot must be held with respect to each candidate. Each candidate that receives more favourable votes than unfavourable votes will be declared elected.
(4) If the sum of the number of directors so elected and the number of directors whose term did not expire at the particular meeting is less than the minimum number of directors provided for in these bylaws, then sufficient number of the unsuccessful candidates necessary to bring the number of directors up to the minimum number, selecting those with the most favourable votes, will be declared elected."
(b) repealing section 41 of the bylaws and replacing it with the following: "If the number of candidates nominated exceeds the maximum number of directors to be elected, as determined by the nominations committee, then a single ballot must be held:
(1) Each ballot paper must contain the names of all candidates.
(2) Each member present at the meeting will be entitled to vote in favour of up to the maximum number of directors to be elected by making a mark of some nature in the appropriate area of the ballot. Ballots with an excess number of votes will be considered invalid and the votes thereon will not be counted.
(3) The candidates will be ranked in accordance with the number of valid votes received, and the number of candidates equal to the number of directors to be elected at the meeting, starting with the candidate receiving the largest number of votes and working down the ranked list, will be selected and declared elected."
(c) adding a provision to set out procedures to be followed in the event of a tie vote by adding a new section 41.1: "41.1 In the event that two or more candidates receives the same number of votes in any ballot for the election of a director and the tie is relevant in determining whether a particular candidate is elected the winning candidate(s) from those candidates with the same number of votes will be determined by lot, or by coin toss, as determined by the nominating committee."
(d) repealing all of old section 42 except for paragraph 42(3) and re-numbering old paragraph 42(3) as new section 42. (e) removing the requirement that scrutineers must be appointed for every ballot regarding the election of directors by adding the words ", if requested by a candidate," after the existing words "of these bylaws will" to section 43, and making a corresponding change to section 44. CARRIED

Special Resolution #4: Resolved that the society formalize the members and roll of the Executive Committee by adding a new Part 9.1 to the Bylaws of the Gabriola Health Care Foundation, to read as follows: "Part 9.1 Executive Committee 62.1 The officers and the immediate past-president, if still a director, will constitute the executive committee. (1) The executive committee will:
(a) act on behalf of the directors for those matters and during those time periods for which the directors have passed a resolution delegating action to the executive committee, with the condition that action taken will be reported to the directors, and
(b) act for the directors in situations which, in the opinion of the executive committee, require immediate action prior to the next meeting of the directors, and report to the directors on any action taken.
(2) The quorum of the executive committee shall be three members. In the event that a quorum of executive committee members is not available at any particular time, the executive committee may invite another director of the Society to temporarily become a member of the executive committee.
(3) The executive committee may conduct its affairs by telephone or by electronic means, provided all members of the committee are able to participate in all exchanges of information related to a particular decision or action." CARRIED

Gabriola Health Care Society Annual General Meeting
Monday, May 29th, 2008
Women's Institute Hall, Gabriola Island


Attendees: Lawrence Spero (presiding), Tracie Der, Harvey Graham, Don Butt, Brenda Fowler, see attached audience sign-in sheet

Proceedings:
The meeting was called to order at 7:03 pm.
1.0 Lawrence welcomed everyone to the meeting and reviewed the agenda. He then announced the upcoming Community Workshop scheduled for Friday, June 20th and invited everyone to attend and participate – learn what has been happening and share their ideas and visions for Gabriola health care. On behalf of the GHCS & GHCF, Lawrence thanked everyone who has contributed to the achievements thus far – those who donated funding, time and physical labour, as well as island organizations and businesses. He also thanked the boards for their teamwork and enthusiasm.

There have been significant changes over the last year and the highlights were:
• April '07 – the GHCS signed a lease with Twin Beaches Centre to open an interim clinic
• June '07 – the Tour de Gabriola
• July 1st – the interim clinic opened and Dr. Francois Bosman joined the practice
• August through November saw a successful fundraising quilt raffle bull; August 25th – the Official Opening of the Interim Clinic, attended by local dignitaries and politicians
• October through December saw active discussions with VIHA over pertinent issues, including MOCAP.
• January '08 – a new Chief Medical Officer for VIHA came on board and actually came to visit Gabriola Island and personally see what was going on
• February '08 – board members met with Minister George Abbott of the Ministry of Health; the Gabriola Health Care Foundation was formed to become the fundraising arm for Gabriola Health Care, looking to raise money both locally and through larger, philanthropic organizations; the Gabriola Health Care Auxiliary was officially formed.
• April '08 – a Memorandum of Understanding was signed by the Ministry of Health, VIHA, the GHCS and Dr.'s Hoffmann, Bosman, Harding and Mackenzie; Lawrence read from the pre-amble of this landmark agreement:

Solutions for facilitating a sustainable primary health care for Gabriola are to be based upon the following criteria:
• Meet the access and health outcome needs of patients (permanent residents, summer residents and visitors) of Gabriola
• Support the health and wellbeing of the family physicians • Use appropriate facts and an evidence based approach • Provide a potential model for other comparable rural communities
• Take a population based approach
• Be open and transparent Lawrence pointed out that the Ministry is starting to see Gabriola as a place where we can try to apply the best of both worlds – what works from the old medical system and some new ideas to explore. It is also a goal to increase our equity with the other gulf islands and there may be an opportunity to gain another on-call physician through the Family Physicians for BC program.


• May '08 – the Auxiliary holds a successful Clinic Fund Run ($3000 raised); a pre-planning meeting with a professional facilitator took place to establish the format of the community workshop coming up on June 20th. Those unable to attend this workshop will also be offered a variety of ways to contribute to the formal record, such as via the website, letters, etc. The goal is to create choice and homegrown Gabriola options for healthcare.

Gabriola Health Care Society
Annual General Meeting
Monday, March 26th, 2007 Women's Institute Hall


The meeting was called to order at 7:11 pm.

1.0 Welcome:  Vice-President Lawrence Spero (President pro tem) welcomed attendees and started the meeting by offering the board's thanks to outgoing president, Fred Geater, for his leadership and vision in initiating the society. He will be presented with a Norfolk Pine and it is hoped he will be able to return to participate as his health allows. Lawrence then provided a brief report of the activities thus far:
•Everybody involved in the clinic from physicians, to VIHA and individual Gabriolans is contributing to making this enterprise a success. The unprecedented support from donors and volunteers on the island has amazed the board and has greatly impressed VIHA.
•We have agreement from VIHA on the nature of the interim clinic. We have discussed workload and overhead costs, etc. in the interim facility with the health authority and the physicians involved and have arrived at what all parties think is a workable arrangement to get the interim clinic up and running.
•We are awaiting the documentation confirming VIHA’s share of the rent in the interim clinic that was agreed to in principle in Victoria earlier in March.
•Other aspects of this plan, relating to potential VIHA use of the clinic also require additional information from VIHA before we can give board approval for the renovations to proceed. We hope to get this in the next 10 days.
•As guardians of the money donated to GHCS we have a responsibility to ensure that we minimize risk and maximize the benefits to the health of Gabriolans. Working with government never proceeds at a fast enough pace. We thank everyone for their patience. We are almost there.
•We also have VIHA agreement on the vision for the permanent clinic. Gabriolans will own and operate the permanent clinic. VIHA and the Health Professionals who operate out of the facility will pay rent which will cover the operating costs, building maintenance, etc.
