Agenda Item #2 - Motion to change our banking to the TD Canada Bank downtown made by Lorrie, seconded by Melissa.

Agenda Item #4 - lockbox update - at this meeting there was discussion around 2 choices for the problem about picking up keys and being able to enter into the PSAC office for meetings.
Choice #1 - give everyone a key and program an alarm code for each committee, or
Choice #2 - have access to a lock-box where the keys can be stored for access to the building by any committee member. We decided that the first choice is the one that would work best for the committee. Lorrie to followup and find the update from Robyn Benson that was discussed at an earlier date and report back at the next meeting.
