Annual General Meeting (AGM)

Chaque année, entre l’hiver et le printemps, ce rendez-vous démocratique est un moment essentiel de la vie associative d’En Piste. Il offre aux membres l’occasion :

  1. elect new members to our board of directors;
  2. to review the highlights of the past year;
  3. to inform our members of our projects for the current year;
  4. to discuss current topics with community members.

In the second part of the event, during the Forum, we continue the discussion, sowing seeds of development, mutual aid and reflection.

The Forum

This event, organized by En Piste, following its Annual General Meeting (AGM), is a meeting place for all circus professionals.
We discuss the challenges facing the sector and try to find viable solutions that will evolve with us.

Our members are invited to make their voices heard and exchange ideas with us and with various stakeholders in the circus arts community! Not yet a member of the association? Don’t worry, you can still join us for a small contribution.

Call for applications for the board of directors

Would you like to get involved in your organization and community life? Now is the time to submit your application for the upcoming election to fill open positions on the Board of Directors (BOD), which will take place online in the days leading up to our Annual General Meeting (AGM).

The Board of Directors consists of 15 members representing three electoral colleges. It is important to us to have a diverse Board, made up of artists and professionals who represent the full range of experiences across all provinces and territories. Board terms are generally two years in length.

Every year, half of the board members go through an electoral process to be elected or re-elected as directors at the general meeting.

To ensure a stimulating and dynamic democratic life, many of you from across Canada are welcome to submit your candidacy.

It is thanks to your support and loyalty that we will continue our efforts to develop our community. We look forward to sharing our annual review with you!

Application deadline: Closed.
Online voting period: Closed.

How to submit your application?

  1. Be a member in good standing as an individual or a voting member of the organization you represent. (Make sure your member profile is up to date on our website.) Please note that associate members are not eligible to run for office.

  2. Send a cover letter and profile photo to info@enpiste.qc.ca.

  3. Obtain written endorsement for your candidacy from another member in the same electoral college, and send it to info@enpiste.qc.ca. For example, an individual member running for office must obtain endorsement from another individual member.

    Any administrator whose position is to be filled must resubmit their application using the same procedures.

*Eligible nominations will be posted on this page prior to the online election for voting members to review.

Nominations for the Board of Directors

This year, the elections will take place from April 6 to 10 2026 on the Balotilo web platform. All our voting members will receive a link via email on April 6 2026. Don’t forget to check your spam folder. The new board of directors will be announced at the AGM!

Please note that in order to participate in the elections and exercise your right to vote, you must have paid your membership dues by April 2, 2026.

Since the number of nominations received from the individual members’ group and the training organizations’ group is fewer than the number of positions to be filled, the candidates are elected by acclamation. Consequently, only voting members of the corporate group will receive a link to vote.
