Spring 2010 Events

KTTC Annual General Meeting
Saturday, April 10, 2010
Riverview Park & Zoo Orientation Centre
Each year the KTTC has an annual general meeting to update its members on the activities of the past year, as well as plans for the coming year. 2009 was an eventful year for us, with a move to a new centre and a new vet we will have lots of news to share at this year's meeting. The annual general meeting is also necessary for the members vote in a board of directors, review and approve financial statements and a budget for the coming year.

See the agenda for more details, including directions to the zoo and guest speakers!
