As the ultimate compliment an individual can receive from their peers, it publicly states they have given unselfishly, asking nothing in return other than their love of the game. ~ An anonymous life member ~ Sam Donaghey (1968) Peter Hancock (1982) Jim Fleming (1987) Bill Gilhespy (1993) Doug Redding (1994) Bert Goldberger (1997) Julie Hein (1998) Adrian Newman (1999) Pier Siccardi (2004) Peter Mackenzie (2005) Mike Traficante (2008) Sean Kiernan (2009) 4 PRESIDENT’S ADDRESS TO THE MEMBERSHIP: It has been an incredible year with remarkable progress - some annoying delays in process and some amazing creation of process – and all which brought many highs, lows and everything in between. The Board experienced an immense learning curve, causing us to rely heavily on our incredible ASA staff members, who are also on a steep learning curve. What we’ve created in nine short months is a mutual respect for each other and a trust that comes from living an exciting project together. The Staff and Board look forward to the coming year – so much that we’re busting out at the seams. We anticipate that our membership will feel elated at what ASA plans to offer our membership. Over the past eight months, the Board dedicated itself to becoming more of a governance Board and looked to other organizational structures to help us accomplish this. We’ve trusted in the staff and given them the empowerment they deserve – allowing them to handle their own work. Additionally, the Board ensured that our Committees have the same feeling of trust and empowerment by helping guide their work, rather than redo it. Committee Work The following list demonstrates the work that the committees have taken on in the last several months: Appeals and Discipline/Harassment Discipline and Appeals processes in place Arms-length relationship between Board and Panels to ensure member confidence in process Harassment officers in place for most of the year Competitions Committee Worked with districts to ensure outdoor provincials ran successfully Ensured proper sanctioning of tournaments and camps Promoted opportunities for players in other provinces and countries Worked on competition handbook and rules to ensure appropriate running of our provincial tournaments to meet standards for the level of play Referee Development Committee Successes of the past used as the template to continue to improve the program Vision for the future includes on-line learning, mentor scheduling and on-line registration Constitution and Bylaws Committee This year will bring some long awaited clean-up of some important issues that are essential to the well-being of ASA. Focus on By-laws and Objects! Starting to make the steps toward a set of ASA Governance Documents. Gathering and editing all policy documents for Membership approval Technical Committee Hiring of New Technical Director (Full time) Hiring of North and South Technical Coach (Full time) Hiring of 4 District Staff Coaches (Part time) Time to look at all three areas of the Technical Committee: o Coaching Development o Player Development o All-star Program The new structure will ensure appropriate focus in all of the technical areas with a focus on coaching development in the rural areas. New Long Term Player Development Coaching courses being introduced. Nominations Committee Put in place in October and will hopefully be able to attract candidates to the board. Moving Forward We anticipate that we will have at least two new and exciting committees for next year, including a Women’s Committee and a Business “ASA is now Development Committee. established as a Service The Board deeply appreciates organization the support, encouragement dedicated to and positive input we’ve providing received from ALL Districts in members value the past 10 months and commit for their dollars” ourselves to continue the path of full engagement of all members as we move forward.

The sanctioned academies and camps for 2010 – 2011 are listed below and show that the system continued to struggle for credibility during this fiscal year. In the 2009 – 2010 Annual Report the ASA stated its desire to conduct a review of the sanctioning process in order to get the proper support of the districts and provide proper value to all parties involved in the process. In 2010 – 2011, the ASA was able to conduct a review that has led the Association to rewriting the camp sanctioning process into an endorsement system. The members were clear that a system of endorsement and support for the camps is the important part of the system that needs to be provided by the ASA. Currently the ASA is working on a revamped system of Academy, Camp and Special Event endorsement that will allow groups to fit into the different models of soccer development. The ASA still expects that the standards set for participant safety and proper risk management are met by all endorsed groups, but that every camp will meet a different level of technical training based on their desired endorsement level. It is the expectation of the ASA that a proposal for the districts will be available for April 2012 with an eye towards a fully functional Camp Endorsement system being ready for the summer of 2012. The list below outlines the Sanctioned Camps and Academies in 2011: District Player Development City of Spruce Grove Summer Camp Grande Prairie Soccer Association Summer Camps CASA Summer Camp EMSA Youth Impact Academy Red Deer City Soccer Association Summer Camp Club Player Development Red Deer Renegades Soccer Club SW Chinooks Elite Soccer Academy Calgary West Soccer Club/BFUT Summer Camps Victoria Soccer Club U10 Player Development Victoria Soccer Club U12 – U18 Player Development Academy Calgary West Soccer Club/BFUT Soccer Academy Edmonton Drillers U10/12 Fall Development Camps Edmonton Drillers U10/12 Winter Development Camps Endorsed School Academies Archbishop O’Leary High School Soccer Academy St. Francis Xavier High School Academy Green & Gold Vimy Ridge Junior & High School Academy Education Institution Based Player Development University of Alberta – Golden Bears & Pandas Soccer Camps, Green & Gold Soccer Academy Private Academies Soccer Central Training Centre Summer Camps Special Events Dinos4Hope Christmas Camps FC Edmonton Winter Camps Spruce Grove Grande Prairie Camrose Edmonton Red Deer Red Deer Calgary Calgary Edmonton Edmonton Calgary Edmonton Edmonton Edmonton Edmonton Edmonton Edmonton Calgary Calgary Edmonton 17 2011 Sanctioned Tournaments 14 12 12 10 8 8 6 6 6 3 4 2 1 1 3 4 2 2 1 2 2 3 1 0 TRAVEL PERMITS As in 2010, 2011 saw almost 300 teams travel to tournaments and training camps outside Alberta. Most teams stayed close to home – traveling to tournaments in Western Canada, such as the White Caps College Showcase, the Kelowna Canada Day Tournament and the Peach City Classic in BC and the SUSC and SISCO Premier Tournaments in Saskatchewan. Several teams traveled a little further – heading to the United States and attending major international tournaments such as the Mayors Cup in Las Vegas, the Surf Cup in San Diego, the Schwan’s USA Cup in Minnesota and the Nike Crossfire Challenge in Washington. In addition to participating in North American competitions, a number of teams attended tournaments and training camps in Europe. Alberta was represented at the Arsenal International Tournament in England, the Gasteiz Cup in Spain, the OSA Soccer Academy in Italy, the Torneo Daniele Pecci in Italy, the Agropoli Cup in Italy, and the Gothica Cup in Sweden. 18 Technical TECHNICAL DIRECTOR ADDRESS TO MEMBERSHIP It is with great pleasure that I write this as I have been the Technical Director of the Alberta Soccer Association for 2 ½ months and the time has flown by and exceeded my expectations in relation to what is required to move the Association forward from a Technical perspective.

Shaun Lowther, ASA Technical Director 19 PLAYER DEVELOPMENT Provincial Training Program Alberta Soccer held its annual Provincial Training Program at the Edmonton Garrison Military Fitness Centre from November 2010 to March 2011. In accordance with the Long –Term Player Development (LTDP) model, the program once again aimed at being more parent and player friendly. Team Competition U15 Girls Dallas International Girls Cup U15 Boys U16 Girls Dallas Cup University of Texas at El Paso Training Camp Dallas Cup U16 Boys Keys to the Provincial Training Program: 1. Provide age appropriate instruction with the Long Term Player Development Program (LTPD) 2. Offer and further enhance player development opportunities 3. Identify and train the best Alberta Soccer Prospects (U13, U14, U15, and U16) 4. Increase the players’ repertoire of technical and tactical experiences 5. Introduce players to the “Alberta Style of Play” 6. Focus on four specific requirements: a. Technique on Demand b. Speed of Play c. Decision Making d. Physical Play As with prior years, the players were invited to three weekend sessions which focused on possession, playing out the back and high pressure. Alberta Soccer invited over 430 players to the program and would like to thank all of them for participating. Spring Trips Winter training culminated with the U15 and 16 Boys and Girls teams going on their annual spring trips in April. The teams traveled to the following competitions/destinations: The trips afforded the players and coaches the opportunity to participate in high level competition and training as well as to compare the Alberta teams against standards from other parts of the world. On the eve of Regional trials, these trips provided the staff additional opportunities to assess the players under realistic game pressure situations. The U16 Girls took part in training and competed in exhibition games against a number of Texas-based teams including the UTEP women’s soccer team. As a result of the camp, a few of the Alberta players received scholarship offers to attend the University of Texas at El Paso. Alberta Soccer would like to thank all the players, parents and coaches for taking the time out of their schedules to be a part of these experiences. Such competitions and training opportunities offer the Alberta players additional exposure to a number of colleges and universities across the United States. Overall, the Alberta Soccer teams performed well. The coaching staff provided each player with oneon-one feedback regarding what they did well and what they could improve upon. If followed, this feedback will prove instrumental in increasing the players’ chances of being selected to the Alberta Provincial teams for the CSA National All Stars. 20 Provincial Select Team Trials Regional Trials were held on May 28-29 in Spruce Grove (North) and Calgary (South). Players who performed successfully at the Regional trials were then afforded the opportunity to move onto the Provincial trials held in Red Deer the weekend of June 4-5 for final team selections. Thanks to all the players and coaches for their hard work in delivering successful Alberta trials. Alberta Select Players Playing in Club Nationals The following is a list of all clubs who represented Alberta at CSA Club Nationals in 2011. The data illustrates the number of ASA Select Team players who also participated on teams.

The four individuals spent the year scouting, working with districts on developing the mini stars program and working with the Technical Director on developing the All Star program. The Scouting duties for the High Performance coaches were carried out at Tier 1 – 2 Provincials during both the Indoor Provincials in March and the Outdoor Provincials in August. The development of future mini stars programs is currently reflected in the expansion of the program in Lethbridge, Calgary, Red Deer, Edmonton and Grande Prairie. The work on the All-star program was focused on the planning and implementation of training sessions for the Winter Training Program and the Provincial All-star camps. Following the year long process with the High Performance Coaches, the ASA decided to maintain the four coaching positions but to regionalize and re-focus their work on coaching development and district player development. While 20% of their time will still be focused on scouting, it is the hope that the regional staff coaches will allow the ASA to tap the potential of all of the players in our Province. 22 National Training Centre Prairies (NTCP) Girls Bianca Ribi Brittany Taylor Charlotte Rath Danielle Landsiedel Elissa Neff Emily Adamic Fallon Dickie Jamie Horne Kennedy Ulrich Krista Gommeringer Krista Hooper Larisa Staub Leah Corse Mackenzie Bellows Mia Gunter Nicole Lindsay Kailey Harder Katelyn Dimopoulos Kathleen Chin Keeley Gormley Olivia Chu Olivia Viergutz Stephanie Chin Taylor Aldophe Kelly Tallas Kelsey Langille Tianna Lombardo Boys Ajay Khabra Ajeej Sarkaria Bruno Zebie Caniggia Elva Carlos Patino Dilly Ohuegbe Elijah Adekugbe Francesco Bartillio Haris Kevac Jackson Farmer Jose Lopez Leighton Johnson Lewis Hill Luca Mosele Marco Carducci Mitch Piraux Sadi Jalali Sam Adekugbe Sebastian Cabrera National Players Men National U23 U17 Lars Hirschfeld Nikolas Ledgerwood Kevin McKenna Tosaint Ricketts Eddy Sidra Osmo Bimba Jordan Campbell Brett Colvin Joseph Costouros John Pegg Jordan Ongaro Shaun Saiko Eddy Sidra Yaw Addai Sadi Jalali Matteo Pasquotti Edmonton Lethbridge Calgary Edmonton Edmonton Edmonton Ft McLeod Calgary Edmonton Edmonton Edmonton St. Albert Edmonton Calgary Edmonton Ft McLeod Women National U20 U17 Stephanie Labbe’ Erin McLeod Stony Plain Calgary Sarah Dilling Sara Halvorson Mariah Hoy Morgan Mah Tori Martyn Sara Paul Danica Wu Heather Young Nicole Lindsay Elissa Neff Larisa Staub Calgary Calgary Sher.

Coaches benefit directly from the insights provided in these specialized approaches to age specific coaching methodology. The Community Coach Certificate is composed of the following: Course Child Coaching Course Youth Coaching Course Senior Coaching Course Length 10 units or 1 day 20 units or 2 days 20 units or 2 days Age Group 6-10 years 10-14 years 14 years and older Long-Term Player Development (LTPD) – New NCCP Courses Rollout Alberta Soccer will be implementing a new LTPD model in early 2012 – the chart below describes the new LTPD courses: Age Group LTPD Stage Coaching Requirement U4-U6 Active Start U7-U9 U10-U12 U12-U18 (Recreational and Competitive) FUNdamentals Learn to Train Learn to Train/Soccer for Life Child Trained OR Active Start + MED (making ethical decisions) Child or Youth Trained OR FUNdamentals + MED Youth Trained OR Learn to Train + MED Senior Trained OR Soccer for Life + MED Please visit the Alberta Soccer Association website (www.albertasoccer.com) for more information. 24 2011 NCCP Courses The following is the number of coaching course participants per district within the last fiscal year (Nov. 1/10 to Oct. 31/11). 437 15 Course Participants (total of 95 courses) 64 23 22 26 79 129 69 41 22 57 136 134 79 59 61 Course participants based on gender: 500 387 400 336 313 300 200 139 120 60 100 0 Child Youth Women Senior Men Summary of Coaching Course Participants 600 526 456 500 400 334 373 306 300 212 235 200 134 115 100 0 Child 2011 (1355 participants) Youth 2010 (680 participants) Senior 2009 (656 participants) 25 Licensing Program In 2011, CSA continued its Coach Licensing Program for coaches who were looking to pursue further certification and coach at the highest levels of soccer. The following outlines points of interest for Albertans in the licensing program: National B License Carole Holt, an Edmonton based coach, obtained her National B License in 2011. This achievement speaks volumes of her abilities as a coach. Congratulations Carole! Provincial B License The Alberta Soccer Association conducted the 2011 Provincial B Coaching course in St. Albert. In total, six participants received a passing grade and are now eligible to take the CSA National B course. Congratulations to the following individuals who successfully completed the course: Ian Steinke Jay Hrycun Federico Sanmartin John Vinci Kevin Doyle Simon Crebbin Alberta Soccer would like to thank Graham Wood, Rick Haxby and Jeff Paulus for instructing and evaluating the candidates, as well as Franco Imbrogno who helped facilitate the course. We would also like to thank all the participants for committing to a challenging week; we hope everyone gained valuable experience throughout this process. Statistics are as follows: Provincial B Course August 3-7 (St. Albert) Total Participants 13 Total Passing 6 Pre-B License An important step in assessing a coach’s readiness to enter the licensing program is successful completion of the Pre-B course. The Pre-B test offers coaches the opportunity to be assessed, often for the first time, and aims at evaluating the playing and coaching ability of the coach. It is an important and critical bridge between the Community Coaching courses and the Licensing program. Pre-B Numbers 2011 Course Date May 6-8 Oct 14-16 Location Edmonton Cochrane Participants Passing 13 7 17 16 Pre-B Mentorship Program As a result of the limited staffing situation in 2011, Alberta Soccer was not able to offer the coaching mentorship program as with prior years. Moving forward, the goal will be to offer interested participants the opportunity to have a mentor coach who can assess them in their environment. Alberta Soccer will look to build upon its coaching mentorship program in 2012 to ensure coaches feel confident and prepared when taking either the Pre-B or Provincial B license courses. 26 GRASSROOTS DEVELOPMENT Mini-Stars Program This past year, Alberta Soccer conducted the fifth Annual Mini-Stars Program, which took place from November 2010 to March 2011 in Edmonton, Calgary, and Grande Prairie. Put in place for players having the ambition to represent Alberta at an older age group, the program focused on players aged 10-12. There were: 9 boys from Edmonton, 24 girls from Edmonton, 5 boys from Calgary and 13 girls from Calgary who participated. Throughout the ten-week curriculum the sessions focused on the following: Technical and tactical understanding in small-sided games Attacking and defending skills The main principles of play as they pertain to the Alberta style of play or the “Alberta Way” As a result of the sessions, a number of players were given preliminary invitations to the Provincial Training Program for both 2011 and 2012. 27 Tempo School / St. Maria Goretti Soccer Camps The annual Tempo School and St. Maria Goretti Elementary School camps were once again a huge success! Over 80 students registered for the camp at Tempo School while 130 students registered for the St. Maria Goretti Elementary School camp. ASA instructors conducted afternoon sessions for children from Kindergarten to Grade 6 during May. School staff was instrumental with their support in helping the instructors deliver lessons aimed at instilling basic skills and a love for the game of soccer. The basic format for the sessions this past spring included the introduction of a warm up and cool down along with fun games and competitions. The coming year promises to bring bigger and better things for these and other schools. 28 Soccer Day in Canada On July 9th, the Alberta Soccer Association (ASA) celebrated Soccer Day in Canada together with CBC, Popsicle, FC Edmonton and the residents of Slave Lake, AB. CBC selected the town of Slave Lake as one of four showcase locations to broadcast its live Soccer Day in Canada events. Nearly 50 kids from 4-18 years old gathered to learn soccer skills, play games and participate in a giant soccer match. This inspiring event brought positivity to a town that was hit hard with natural disasters. While the Alberta Soccer coaches engaged some of the kids in soccer drills, FC Edmonton players brightened other young admirers’ days by signing autographs and playing games. Alberta Soccer offers its sincerest thanks to the following people who made this successful event possible: The Slave Lake Soccer coordinator, Nick Williams and the residents of Slave Lake, FC Edmonton and their players for their support and dedicating their time to participating in the day’s events, and ASA instructors, Ken Ashworth, Franco Imbrogno, Alina Cross and Federico Sanmartin for facilitating educational and enjoyable sessions. 29 Referee RDC CHAIR – ADDRESS TO THE MEMBERSHIP Despite a late start to the coordination of referee programs in 2011, the Referee Development Committee had a successful year in all portfolios: education, assessment and assignments. The following items provide examples of the year’s successes: All provincials and a national competition in Lethbridge were covered by qualified officials CSA invited Mike Barwegen, a Sunny South referee, to join its national referee program The RDC made a determined effort to rebuild the relationship with the CSA National Referee Program National referees in Alberta took on new advisory roles in an effort to provide support to the provincial programs In addition to the above, the districts provided input at both the SGM and the Planning Meeting, which provided solid direction on the members’ expectations from the referee program. At the final RDC/DRA meeting of the year, a new vision and outcome for the referee system in the province was reviewed and confirmed. As we move forward into 2012, the Alberta referee program will focus on building a system that is credible, honest, fair, forward looking and competent. The referee system will produce referees across the province who have the following traits: Knowledge • know the Laws of the Game • know the Rules of Indoor Soccer / Futsal Skills • have the skills to know WHEN to apply the LOTG/ROIS in game situations Techniques • are trained and instinctively know HOW to apply the LOTG/ROIS in the game situation to manage a game in a fair manner, enjoyed by all participants and spectators. Common Sense • above all, use COMMON SENSE in officiating the Game for the good of the Game The Referee Development Committee will focus on an initial six month plan for the first half of 2012, particularly a renewed education and development effort that will see a shift in focus from pure knowledge evaluation to the development of capabilities and competencies that will help grow the “whole” referee in all Districts. 30 Referee courses In coordination with its member districts, Alberta Soccer offered nearly 200 courses to new and existing referees in the Province between November 2010 and November 2011 (ASA fiscal year). The following charts provide a breakdown on the type of courses offered and the participants in those courses: Number of each type of course North (108 courses) South (89 courses) 58 46 30 19 10 Entry Level Refresher 15 Youth (12/13 yo) 9 9 Conversion 1 1 Regional Number of Participants Entry Level, 774 Refresher, 1884 Youth (12/13 yrs), 505 Conversion, Futsal 177 Refresher, 28 Regional Upgrade, 37 Futsal Conversion, 24 Assessments Assessments are an important requirement for officials who wish to upgrade their current status as a referee. The number of assessments performed in the Province break down as follows: SoccerFest 10% North 33% South 57% In addition to the above, a number of assessments were performed on Alberta officials who were assigned to games at the U16 Club Nationals in Lethbridge. 31 Referee Registrations This year, the staff at the Alberta Soccer Association took a more aggressive approach in ensuring that existing referees across the province completed their annual registration and attended the appropriate referee refresher course. This was done to ensure that the referees received support (both legal and medical) as well as to ensure that a standard quality of refereeing was maintained throughout the province. The following charts demonstrate the number and type of referees throughout Alberta: Number of each type of referee in Alberta: Provincial, 39 National, 6 FIFA, 2 Regional, 105 Youth (12/13 year old), 508 Youth (14/15 year old), 630 District, 1481 By gender 1158 Male (2063) 332 444 186 176 Youth (12-13) Youth (14-15) 323 District 98 36 7 Regional Female (699) 5 3 Provincial 1 1 National 1 FIFA By District 780 128 50 40 # of Referees 636 164 126 77 94 55 75 117 77 30 93 86 73 70 32 Appeals & Discipline The 2010 – 2011 presented several challenges to the ASA in handling Appeals & Discipline on various levels. Until April 2011, several districts were called upon to handle hearings involving discipline with referees as the ASA was not equipped to handle these cases. EDSA, CUSA and CWSA deserve special recognition for ensuring that all discipline was properly handled while the ASA re-formatted their Board of Directors and committees. Despite the difficulties, the ASA still heard dozens of discipline cases involving game activity. We used well over 20 different panel members that gave on average 10 hours of their time to handling on-field discipline. that present themselves to the ASA. In general, they are responsible for ensuring that disputes between members and the ASA or the Board of Directors will have a mechanism for an independent hearing that can be trusted. The off-field incidents, after April 2011, were handled by the newly formed Provincial Appeals and Discipline Committee. This committee was made up of independent panel members only called upon to handle the more difficult cases The ASA looks forward to implementing more detailed Appeals & Discipline process’ moving forward and will strive towards an Arbitration clause in our By-laws in the near future. This panel was tested in early June, 2011 with the District Discipline hearing which was handled professionally and properly. There is still a learning curve associated with this new process but it is one that the ASA plans on keeping to ensure that all of the members have a transparent process available should difficult offfield incidents occur.

FINANCE 7.1 2009 - 2010 AUDIT PRESENTATION (KPMG) The general picture showed net expenditures ,including depreciation , as a loss of $275,000 of which there is sufficient cash in the organization to address. An unfortunate incident in which many of the 2010 Provincial team players fees were not processed was noted (total approximately $ 77,000). The finance department is currently working on collecting on those fees. There were no significant outstanding receivables or payables. M-5 MOTION: To accept the 2010 Financial Statements as presented. Moved by: CMSA Seconded by: Lethbridge CARRIED 7.2 APPOINTMENT OF KPMG AS 2011 AUDITORS M-6 MOTION: To engage KPMG as the ASA auditors for 2011. Moved by: EDSA Seconded by: Sunny South CARRIED (Break from 9:47 am – 9:55 am) 7.3 2010 OPERATING BUDGET QUESTIONS KPMG – Effective the 2011 fiscal audit, ASA will be required to apply different auditing standards as the auditing standards in Canada changed effective December 14, 2010. ASA will have to make an accounting policy choice about whether to use the new not-for-profit standards for accounting or use international financial reporting standards for it’s fiscal year ending October 31, 2013. Until then, generally accepted accounting principles will continue to be used. It was also suggested that ASA consider streamlining it’s accounts to more generalized accounts. I.E. all referee registration revenue as referee revenue, all youth fee revenue as youth revenue rather than posting to numerous designated revenue accounts for each. Legal fees totalled about $570,00 of which approximately $180,000 is in accounts payable in the end of the year. Additional legal fees for services provided after the year end were not included and total approximately $200,000. Mr. Adams – Responded to questions raised by the indicated Districts regarding the following: 1) Sunny South - Increases in expenditures: Mr. Adams felt it inappropriate to speak to spending occurring prior to his employment . He also did not feel it appropriate that staff be accountable due to the number of the current staff members who are also new as well as the large staff turnover which took place last year. Conversations he had with KPMG concerning the large number of accounts in the ACC PAC system indicated the specific accounts where monies or expenses were actually posted may have skewed some of what would be true totals in comparison to budget accounts. With the time crunch to ensure the audit was completed in time for the AGM and budget creation as well, a reassignment of account numbers to correspond with budget items was not possible to execute prior to the audit or AGM. 2) Sunny South - Player Development/Over-expenditures/Low Scouting numbers : Shortfall in select team revenue already noted previously (credit card processing). Other shortfall may lie with lower number of team members than what were budgeted. Close to a third of the budget is allocated to player development with an focus on youth development. Unfortunately, significant turnover in scouts, in addition to the Technical Director leaving in 2010, and a skeleton technical staff remaining for a large portion of the year all contributed to lower than anticipated and desired scouting opportunities for Districts, especially the Rural ones. 3) Sunny South/EIYSA - All Stars: Mr. Adams was unsure of why All Stars was not budgeted for, not being here during that process, as it is a program offered and going forward, it is an expense that will be incurred. 4) CMSA - District Fees possible increase concerns : Mr. Adams explained that it would be inappropriate for him to say there would be no increase in fees, although he was confident board members would be familiar with the budgeting processes the districts would be going through and it would be his recommendation to them that the fees should not increase for that reason. As the decision lies with the committee it was impossible to make any guarantees. 5) St. Albert – Legal Fees: Approximately $200,000 has been accounted for leading up to January 21st, 2010. Some staffing items were addressed with Gowling ‘s HR lawyer who are still standing as ASA’s lawyers. They were consulted regarding a couple indemnity issues for future boards and were also used when filing legal requirements in regards to registries (necessary because of the court judgment). There is also accounting for the three month severance that was referenced by KPMG of the 2009 audited statements. The budget total listed is around $280,000. Further discussion regarding the budget was tabled as members agreed to e-mail any further questions they would like to be directed to the budget committee to Mr. Adams by May 1st. M-7 MOTION: The 2010/11 budget will be referred to a committee that will be established by the Board of Directors and who will report back to the members at the end of June 2011. Moved by: St. Albert Seconded by: CWSA CARRIED 7.4 OUTSTANDING LEGAL FEES Mr . Adams – There have been a couple of invoices received totalling about $90,000 from Bennett Jones. The legal opinion given to the auditor is that they are not the legal obligation of the association to pay. M-8 MOTION: The matter of the outstanding Bennett Jones invoices are deferred to the Board of directors and the matter reported back to the membership as part of the budget by June 30th.

ELECTION OF OFFICERS Mr. Calvin – Informed the members that the board members had seen a letter that was circulated on behalf of FIFA earlier in the week. There has not been board approved minutes from the CSA board in response to the letter at this time. The ASA board was advised to notify the members before any election that there is a pending appeal hearing that’s been sent from one committee back to the board of directors and then back to the appeals committee at the CSA level. The appeal is in regards to the SGM held in January. As per the instruction of the president of the CSA, the members were advised not to proceed with the elections. Mr. M. Traficante - He said that the FIFA letter that was circulated indicates that the CSA is in peril. The proposed by-law change by EIYSA was tabled which he felt was good as it was what FIFA was largely concerned with.
