2019 Year in Review

Here's what being a soccer supporter on Vancouver Island looked like in 2019.

2019 Annual General Meeting

Annual General Meeting Announcement

         This is an official notice and invitation to our Annual General Meeting for 2019, to be held at the Greater Victoria Public Library, Saturday, December 14^th starting at 4:00 PM. Members of the Lake Side Buoys are entitled to nominate and vote for the Board of Directors that will govern the society for the next year, as well as vote on any special agenda items that the Board will present. This year, the Board would like the membership to ratify a new Constitution and By-Laws.

         Directly following the adjournment of this meeting, a pub crawl will commence. Dressing in club colours is highly encouraged.

          If you are unable to attend and would like to vote by proxy, you can designate any member of the Lake Side Buoys as your proxy simply by letting them know, and so that we’re all on the same page, let the board know by emailing  before December 12^th.

          The current Board of Directors for the Lake Side Buoys Society are:

          President:  Jason Armond

          Vice President:  Ted Godwin
          Secretary Treasurer:  Allison Armond (not running for re-election)
          Director:  Xavier Ouellette
          Director:  Adam Kostanuick (not running for re-election)
          Director:  Blake McStravick
          Director:  Ryan Arrowood

          During the nominations and elections portion of the meeting, there will be a brief interval where nominations can be made, though we’d prefer nominations be done via email prior to the meeting. Nominations must be made by members in good standing for members in good standing. Self-nomination is allowed. If there are competing nominations for a position, each nominated candidate will have 1 minute to address the group if they so choose before ballots are cast. Nominations can be made for members in absentia, provided that this is done in advance and that the candidate being nominated has communicated their acceptance of the nomination to the Board prior to the meeting.

          Any questions you have concerning the AGM or the new Constitution and By-Laws can be directed to .

A Moment of Silence

On September 19th, Pacific FC fan and friend of the Lake Side Buoys, Jacob Michael "Jake" Noseworthy passed away suddenly.

He was 22 years old.

In remembrance of him, we dedicated the 22nd minute of the October 2nd home game to him with a rare moment of silence.

We will remember Jacob for his passion and enthusiasm for the beautiful game and his contributions to sports journalism.

Ticket Donation Drive

Hello Lake Side Buoys and fans of Pacific FC,

As the inaugural Pacific FC season winds down, we would like to celebrate the club, the season, and ourselves with an act of charity.

As you probably know, season tickets include a pair of ticket vouchers, good for any match. Many people have not yet redeemed these, so we are conducting a ticket donation drive to allow some deserving folks from our community to attend a match. The tickets we gather will be distributed to the Greater Victoria Down Syndrome Society, a non-profit organization that offers services to individuals with Down Syndrome and their families on Vancouver Island.

What's more, Pacific FC has connected us with a sponsor that will be matching our ticket donations. That means that each voucher you donate will allow *TWO* people to attend the game!

If you would like to participate, please follow [this link] for instructions.

The deadline for participation is October 5^th.

Thanks,

Lake Side Buoys Board of Directors

The matching tickets are coming from a corporate donation program funded by these groups, we'd like to give them our sincere thanks:

• Listco Landscape & Irrigation
• Engle & Völkers Vancouver Island
• Custom Pro Exteriors
• Eric Kerr of Johns, Southward, Glazier, Walton and Margetts LLP
