Voting Information
Coast Capital members will vote on a Special Resolution to approve the Amalgamation Agreement between Coast Capital, Prospera and Sunshine Coast credit unions and related matters. Your elected Board of Directors unanimously recommend you vote YES on the Special Resolution.
The Special Resolution is printed on the ballot included with your vote package.
The Amalgamation Agreement includes the initial Board of Directors and the Bylaws of the combined federal credit union. You’ll find an extended digital guide, summaries of the Amalgamation Agreement and Bylaws and the full documents, as well as director biographies at powerthefuture.ca.
How to Vote
As the advanced voting period with online and mail in voting closed at 5 pm PT/8 pm ET June 26, 2025, voting is now only available in person at the Special General Meeting.
Members can only vote once. If both a digital vote and a paper vote are submitted during the advance voting period, the digital vote will be the one recorded and the duplicate paper vote will not be counted. If you vote during the advance voting period and again at the SGM, either digitally or paper vote, the vote submitted at the SGM will be recorded and the advance vote discarded.
Voting packages containing ballots and the Member Guide with information about the Special Resolution to approve the Amalgamation Agreement among Coast Capital, Prospera Credit Union and Sunshine Coast Credit Union were mailed Coast Capital members eligible to vote. If you have multiple joint memberships, your voting package will be mailed to an address provided on one of your joint memberships, which may not necessarily be your home address.
