Registration for the OWHC virtual General Assembly

Mrs. Mayor, Mr. Mayor:
Mrs./Mr. Official representative of the Mayor,

We now open registrations for the meeting. Please read the rest of this message carefully to complete your registration.

In accordance with the General By-Laws, during a General Assembly, each member in good standing of the OWHC shall be entitled to one right to vote. Please make sure your city is a member in good standing in order to exercise your right to vote. The member’s voting right is exercised personally by the Mayor or his elected representative from his municipality or in exceptional cases by a non-elected representative from his municipal administration.

Please note that as with onsite general assemblies, only two (2) people per member city can attend the General Assembly: the mayor or his official representative, as well as an accompanying person. In order to complete your registration, we ask that only one person per city completes the registration form: the mayor or his official representative. In the registration form, there is a section to add the name and email address of the person who will accompany you. We will make sure to contact the accompanying person to complete his/her inscription.

In order to confirm your city’s participation in this General Assembly and the delegates who will attend, please follow this link and fill in the form:

Important! The registration deadline for the General Assembly is 8 September at 8 a.m. (Quebec time). No registration beyond this time will be accepted.

Preparatory documents

If, as a member city, you have not received the call for registration, agenda and preparatory documents by email, please send a message to the Deputy Secretary General Ms. Andréanne Charest: [email protected]. If there is an item you would like to add under “Miscellaneous”, please send Ms. Charest an email about it before August 31. Given the virtual nature of the meeting, we kindly ask you to present only urgent or very important topics.

In item 4, you will find the presentation of the 3 candidates for the post of Secretary General. In addition, we would like to offer the possibility to the member cities of the OWHC to ask some questions to the candidates during the General Assembly. In this sense, we ask you to carefully read item 4 in the preparatory documents and submit a maximum of 2 questions to us via this link:

We look forward to seeing you all during the virtual General Assembly.
