Background
As of July 1, 2026, clubs in District 99 will realign into new Districts. All clubs based in Alberta will become part of the new District 208, while all clubs based in Saskatchewan will become part of the new District 210. As a result, there will be no District 99 elections in 2026. Instead, separate elections will be held for District 208 and District 210. There will, however, be a final District 99 Council meeting on May 2, 2026, held during the District 99 Annual Conference taking place May 1 to 3, 2026.
If you have any questions, please contact Ken Tanner, DTM, D208 Transition Chair at kentann@telus.net.
