The National Convention was held in Regina and was delayed by the fact that the members of the National Assembly were attending the International Convention in Haifa. Those elected to the National Spiritual Assembly were: Jameson Bond, Ronald Parsons, Douglas Martin, Michael Rochester, Donald Glen, Angus Cowan, Tom Anaquod, Rowland Estall, and Lloyd Gardner.
The delegates were asked to elect a replacement for Lloyd Gardiner. Due to his appointment to the newly-created North American Board of Councillors he was ineligible for membership on national or local administrative bodies. Ballots were sent to all delegates but the count was delayed by a mail strike. When the count was
finally taken the result was a tied vote and the delegates
were required to vote again, making their choice between
the two people who received the equal number of votes.
The deadline for the return of this second balloting
was also delayed in order to allow time for those
attending the Oceanic Conference in Palermo to return
to their homes. The new deadline was set for September 17th
and the results were made available shortly thereafter. [CBN No 222 August 1968 p8]
