Item - 2020.PA20.2

The Board of Directors of Toronto Parking Authority:

1.  Re-appointed Anu Aduvala, Vice President, Operations, as representative to the Canadian National Exhibition Association, in accordance with the provisions of the Canadian National Exhibition Association's legislation, for a term of office commencing December 3, 2020 and ending Spring 2021.

Canadian National Exhibition Association legislation provides that the Municipal Section of the Canadian National Exhibition Association  Board shall include one representative named and appointed annually by the Toronto Parking Authority. The Toronto Parking Authority representative is nominated by the Toronto Parking Authority Board annually for a term of one year.  In 2019, the term of the Canadian National Exhibition Association was changed to commence in the spring of each calendar year.  However, with the announcement to cancel the 2020 Canadian National Exhibition due to the onset of COVID-19, the Canadian National Exhibition Association's June 2020 Annual Meeting was postponed, and as concerns around the pandemic continue, the Canadian National Exhibition Association Board of Directors have recently decided to move forward with a virtual meeting format to be scheduled before the end of 2020.  

As Canadian National Exhibition Association member appointments/reappointments must occur annually, and coincide with their annual meetings, the 2020/2021 term will be shortened as the next appointment/re-appointment process will coincide with the Canadian National Exhibition Association's regular spring meeting in 2021.

The Canadian National Exhibition Association has requested that the Toronto Parking Authority’s representative attend their virtual Annual General Meeting to be held on December 3, 2020.  See Appendix A - Notice of Appointment of Representative.
