A.A. PREAMBLE©

Alcoholics Anonymous is a fellowship of people who share their
experience, strength and hope with each other that they may
solve their common problem and help others to recover from alcoholism.
The only requirement for membership is a desire to stop drinking.
There are no dues or fees for A.A. membership; we are self-
supporting through our own contributions. A.A. is not allied with
any sect, denomination, politics, organization or institution; does
not wish to engage in any controversy, neither endorses nor
opposes any causes. Our primary purpose is to stay sober and
help other alcoholics to achieve sobriety.

Welcome to a preview of our new Area 79 Website.

This website is functional and ready to use. You’ll be able to find all the content, meetings, and events from the old website here, and much more. Members of the fellowship are encouraged to take a look around and consider providing feedback for the final review and approval process. If you are ASC, GSR, DCM, or DCC, your login credentials from the purple site will work here. If you don’t have a login yet, contact the web chair and get yours.

ELECTIONS AND

APPOINTMENTS

Area Officers

Fourteen (14) Area Officers are chosen, every second year, to serve 2-year terms on the Area Service Committee (ASC) . Seven of these are elected, in even numbered years, at the September Assembly of the full Area 79 Committee. Seven are appointed by the Selection Committee, following the elections, to sit as chairs of designated Area standing committees.

It is strongly suggested that the outgoing (not the incoming) GSRs and DCMs be available to vote at the Election Assembly in order to assure a more informed election.

To apply for an appointed position in Area 79, please email your resume to resumes@bcyukonaa.org

MORE INFORMATION

POST AN EVENT ON BCYUKONAA.ORG

An A.A. group ought never endorse, finance, or lend the A.A. name to any related facility or outside enterprise, lest problems of money, property, and prestige divert us from our primary purpose.

Tradition 6

Post a Meeting in A79

Our membership ought to include all who suffer from alcoholism. Hence we may refuse none who wish to recover. Nor ought AA membership ever depend upon money or conformity. Any two or three alcoholics gathered together for sobriety may call themselves an AA Group, provided that, as a group, they have no other affiliation.

Tradition Three (Long Form)

Each Alcoholics Anonymous group ought to be a spiritual entity having but one primary purpose – that of carrying its message to the alcoholic who still suffers.

Tradition Five (Long Form)

Unless there is approximate conformity to AA’s Twelve Traditions, the group, too, can deteriorate and die.

Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions, page 174

The BC/Yukon Website maintains listings of meetings in all parts of Area 79, with the exception of the Greater Vancouver (Districts 18, 24-38 and 40-42) and Greater Nanaimo (Districts 5, 7)  where up-to-date meeting information is available from the respective intergroup websites. The meeting information posted here, in the Meeting directory, is supplied by the corresponding districts in Area 79 and is submitted for posting by the DCM (District Committee Member). It is important that this information be as up-to-date and accurate as possible and we ask that responsible trusted servants in each district review the online listings regularly and send any information about changes to meetings, new meetings and meeting deletions to their DCM, for submission to us, as outlined below.

Groups listed in the directory are listed at their own request. A directory listing does not constitute or imply approval or endorsement of a group’s approach to or practice of the traditional A.A. program.

Please note that changes made to meeting information on the website may not be reflected in group records; for registered group changes please also contact the Area 79 Registrar

Teleconference Meetings

The purpose of teleconference meetings is to carry the AA message by phone to our members who are ill, disabled or living in areas where AA meetings are limited or non-existent due to their remote locations. Teleconference Meetings chaired by individual districts in Area 79 may be listed below. Districts wishing to list a teleconference meeting here, should contact Remote Communities Chair
