COD BUDDY UP BALLOT NOW IN MAILBOXES
January 4, 2025
The most recent proposal and ballot on buddy up in 2J3KL cod was mailed to license holders on December 20 and is now arriving in mailboxes across the province. For more details on why we are conducting this second ballot on buddy up, please see this post from November 27.
The main difference between this current proposal and the one you voted on in May is the removal of the past participation requirement. Under this proposal, every license holder would be eligible for buddy up in cod. DFO will not allow buddy up in 2J3KL cod with the past participation requirement included.
Ballots must be returned in the included self-addressed, postage paid envelope.
Ballots will not be accepted by email, text, fax, or phone.
Ballots must be post-marked by Jan 27.
Ballots will be counted and results announced on Jan 31.
If you have any questions about the proposal or ballot on buddy up in 2J3KL cod, please reach out directly to your Member Representative Kim Rose (krose@ffaw.ca), Ian Ivany (iivany@ffaw.ca), and Jeff Griffin (jgriffin@ffaw.ca). Please note that the office is closed until Jan 6.
