Freshwater Mussels?

What is an Annual General Meeting?
Our Annual General Meeting (AGM) is a formal yearly, legally mandated meeting where members review the performance of the Owen Sound Field Naturalists, vote on key issues, and elect or re-elect board members. This meeting is designed to ensure transparency, accountability, and governance compliance.
The Annual Report of the OSFN is attached above. Please review the financial statements and board reports prior to the meeting.
Anyone is welcome to attend, however, only members are able to exercise their right to vote.
OSFN Indoor Meetings are normally held on the second Thursday of the month at 7:00 p.m. at the Bayshore Community Centre, 1900 3rd Ave E Owen Sound. There are no Indoor Meetings in July and August. Please see the individual event listings below for more details.
We invite speakers with a wide range of expertise from Grey/Bruce and other parts of the province. These evenings are open to the public. The auditorium is open by 6:30. The meeting gets under way at 7:00, and may include brief announcements by other organizations as well as OSFN club activities, club business, social time, nature sightings and reports.
The club also offers a full schedule of outdoor activities during the year. Through these outings, members learn more about the birds, plants, mammals and geology of this part of Ontario. We also keep a protective eye on our precious natural areas.
