BACKGROUND
The nomination period opened on July 8, 2026 and closed on July 29, 2026. Two Director positions were declared open for the 2027 term. Under the by-laws of the Club, the composition of the Board must include Directors holding a Sturgeon Point address, referred to here as “on point,” and Directors holding an address elsewhere, referred to here as “off point.” The results of the nomination period are set out below.
THE OFF POINT POSITION: FILLED BY ACCLAMATION
One nomination was received for the off point Director position. As the number of qualified nominees is equal to the number of positions available, the following member is declared elected by acclamation for the 2027 term:
- Mary Maika, off point Director, 2027 term
No vote will be required for this position, and it will be confirmed at the Annual General Meeting.
THE ON POINT POSITION: A VOTE WILL BE HELD
More than one qualified nomination was received for the on point Director position. Accordingly, an election will be held at the Annual General Meeting. In keeping with the by-laws of the Club, all sitting on point Directors and all newly nominated on point candidates will stand for election.
The following members will stand for election to the on point Director position:
- Jeff Dionne (incumbent)
- Jacqui Mutch (incumbent)
- Kevin Robson (incumbent)
- Matt Foulkes (nominee)
- Tyler Pinder (nominee)
Candidate biographies will be shared and will also be posted in the clubhouse.

A WORD OF THANKS
Serving on the Board is unpaid, largely invisible, and consistently more work than it looks like from the first tee. Our thanks go to every member who put their name forward this year, to those standing for election, and to the Directors who have given their time to keep this Club running the way it has for well over a century.
QUESTIONS
Questions about the election, candidate eligibility, or the proxy process may be directed to the Secretary at [email protected].
DATED at Sturgeon Point, Ontario, this 7th day of August, 2026.
By Order of the Board of Directors,
Cynthia Sneath
Secretary, Sturgeon Point Golf Club
On behalf of the Board of Directors
