We recently reviewed our Credit Union Rules and after careful analysis and approval from the BC Financial Services Authority, we have determined that we will be holding a special resolution vote for rule changes. Voting is a democratic process and as members, you get to have your say through a one member, one vote system.

The 2022 Special Resolution vote is complete.
The results will be announced at our 2022 Annual General Meeting.

How to Vote

Voting may be done in person at any branch of the credit union by casting a ballot at an electronic voting station, through online banking, or through a mail-in ballot.

Date, time & location voting shall take place

Voting will take place online from April 4 – 18, 2022 starting and ending at 12:00pm. Voting can be completed from the comfort of your own home using multiple devices (mobile or desktop), or at any Integris branch.
