Discussion Item - A proposal to increase membership fees for junior players
The following motion was received after the deadline for including motions and providing the requisite notice. It can be taken up for discussion at the Spring meeting and depending on the results of discussion may be taken up at the AGM in August.
I like to submit motions to increase our revenues as follows:
- Increase Jr. membership fees to match adult membership fees.
- Increase Jt. Rating fees from $0.50 to $1.00
- Increase YCC qualifiers fees to $5 per player, and $2 of this go to general revenues
I believe the chess parents will not object to increasing membership fees $1 a month. It is insignificant relative to the cost of educating their kid for lessons and other activities.
With the extra money we can do more things.
See the stats:

Jr Members are almost as many as adult members in total.
We have more paying Junior members in Ontario than adult members. 555 vs 486
We put more effort in organizing the juniors.

Discussion Item: Complaint about the rudeness of CFC president Vlad Drkulec toward Ne
I hereby submit the following motion:
Whereas on November 24th at 2:25PM, Vlad Drkulec, President of the Chess Federation of Canada, publicly compared someone to a person with autism as a form of insult on the chesstalk message board, and continues to repeatedly use public forums to insult and attack the character of persons;
Be it resolved that this behavior is not acceptable of the person representing the public face of the Chess Federation of Canada, and that the President should post a public apology for his actions, or step down from the Office of President of the Chess Federation of Canada.
