Regional Restructuring

Scouts Canada is now busy restructuring its Regional organizations.

Alberta has already switched to this format, removing all Districts, and adopting a Regional/Area plan.

Effective January 2002, Quebec Provincial Council has started on this plan.

Effective September 2002, Ontario Provincial Council will implement this plan. Ontario Council has issued a Bulletin (#1) (through at least three of their Regions), outlining the process. Or, check out Press Release from one Region, and their Operation Change Information.

Now available, an Ontario Provincial Letter and Motions (April 14/02) and also, Bulletin #2.

Bulletin #3 is now available (May 21/02).

To date, six Regions have announced the restructuring. These are:

   - GTR (Already Area organized)
   - CER
   - SWR
   - Voyageur (This is a neat Powerpoint demonstration)
   - Tri-Shores
   - NWO (Already Area organized)

Effective September 2002, Saskatchewan Provincial Council (which voted 32 to 4) will start on this plan.

British Colombia (Vancouver Coast Region, at least) will start on this plan in September 2002.
