@theeyeopener Callaghan seconds Dan's motion to adjourn the TMSU's AGM. No abstention or oppositions were noted, meaning the motion carries. The TMSU's AGM was therefore adjourned at 6:27 p.m. That wraps up our coverage for today. Thanks for following along.

Hi everyone. Tonight I'm at the TMSU's AGM with the @theeyeopener's news team! The meeting was scheduled to begin at 5:30, but we are awaiting further instructions. It doesn't look like it will meet quorum. Follow along for more media coverage!

@theeyeopener Former TRSM director, D'Juan Callaghan, calls Point of Order to discuss the fact that the meeting was never called into order, according to Roberts Laws, which the TMSU follows. The Chair explained that there is a clause that allows for a motion to adjourn without a call to order

[Lillie Coussée @lcoussee_]

@theeyeopener The Chair and interim BoD president, Dan, stood up in front of the room at 6:23 p.m. The Chair discussed a motion to adjourn the meeting, which would move all the items on the agenda to the next TMSU general meeting. Dan called the motion to adjourn.

@theeyeopener Nikole Dan just told us that the meeting will begin in 15 minutes.

[Lillie Coussée @lcoussee_]

@theeyeopener We are still waiting for the meeting to begin.

More than 70 Canadian gymnasts are calling on investigation for toxic and abusive practices within the sport. I can say with experience, the gymnastics culture needs to change. #GymnasticsCanada has failed so many athletes, it’s time to do better.
