LL99 President, Wade Zenchyson
To all members:
I’m sure you all are curious to know the results of the Local 99 Election. I’m sorry to say that after issues with the absentee ballot we will be performing another complete mailout of absentee ballots to the membership. Below is a brief explanation of what transpired and what we will do to rectify the situation:
After reviewing the proofs of both the envelopes and ballots, they were mailed out to the membership on October 25th . On November 9th it was brought to our attention that the address on the return envelope was wrong (a clerical error made after the proofs had been reviewed):
107, 10741 -178st, T5S-1R5 Edmonton Alberta
instead of:
107, 10471-178st, T5S-1R5 Edmonton Alberta
We contacted both the printing company and Canada Post to see what could be done, Canada Post pointed out that the bad 107, 10741-178st address didn’t exist and that they would do their best to catch the return envelopes and have them sent to the printing company if they did not make it to our 10471-178st address. Yesterday our tellers were sorting out the returned envelopes and we had received an abnormally low return of those envelopes. ...continue reading
Local Lodge 99 Executive has committed to traveling beyond Edmonton to get face to face with the members in 2024. To do so we will be holding a membership meeting in different locations throughout the year. As per Local 99 Bylaws, membership meetings will be held on the second Wednesday of every month. We will do our best to update as we move through the year.
Reminder: 20 members must attend “in person” to qualify for quorum.
It’s understandable that some members won’t be able to attend due to personal or work-related reasons however, we are trying to ensure all members have an opportunity throughout the year to attend with our 2024 schedule. To accommodate all our membership, we will be maintaining a Zoom option. Members looking to attend virtually can click here or use the QR code below:

After having concerns that the Absentee ballot list was lower than expected, local 99 Executive made the decision to mail out a Ballot to all of Local 99's membership. Ballots were mailed out to our members last known address (including those who filled out an absentee request) on October 25th and will be accepted as eligible if returned or received by the end of the day December 7th.
Local 99 Executive would also like to point out a clerical error on the Trustee Ballot for the "Finning Main Contract": the word "Trustee" was left off the ballot, that being said the Ballot is still valid and the nominees are correct. Please fill out all ballots and return ASAP.
