Hi,
I have some exciting news for our first update of the year. We’re now legally incorporated as a non-profit entity called the Mountain Valley Express Collective Society. This positions us well to organize and advance our mission and vision.
Thanks to those who have completed our mailing list subscriber survey. If you haven’t yet, you can still do so here.
The MVX Collective is based on a number of core principles as laid out in our Bylaws:
A belief in implementing high speed passenger rail within the South Coast of British Columbia for the betterment of all stakeholders.
The goal of building an information and fact-based communications campaign to educate all British Columbians on the importance of having economical, efficient rapid transit within the South Coast of British Columbia.
The goal of developing a like minded network of individuals and organizations to help with a growing public information and advocacy campaign.
The importance of remaining non-partisan in regards to political affiliation.
The importance of not entering into any commercial agreements with any commercial entities.
The Society will operate in a manner accountable and responsive to its directors.
I’ll also be introducing the option to join as an official member of the Society. Joining as a member entitles you to attend meetings, and elect directors to serve on the board. A nominal annual membership fee of $10 applies. I’ll have more information about how you can join in a subsequent update. If you acknowledge the Society’s principles, you can be a member subject to board approval.
Welcome aboard,
Alex
On behalf of the MVX Collective Board
