Since our last AGM in July 2014, our volunteer staff has concentrated on designing, integrating and implementing two effective management control systems - finances and customer relations. This focus has been successful, but had a detrimental impact on our outreach activities and our ability to respond to client needs. Rapidly and effectively addressing client needs is our next step, but we need help in getting there. Please consider volunteering to help in the growth of a community-owned Internet Services Provider.<br class=""><br class="">
We anticipate that the new Societies Act will require us to maintain public access to financial statements. Accordingly, the Statement of VIFA’s Financial Position for the 14 months to December 2014, to be tabled at the AGM, can be found here:<br class=""><br class=""><a href="http://www.victoria.tc.ca/financial/VIFA_Year_End_Financial_Report-201412.pdf" class="">http://www.victoria.tc.ca/financial/VIFA_Year_End_Financial_Report-201412.pdf</a><br class=""><br class="">
