Letter to The Members of the Edmonton Minor Soccer Association (“EMSA”).

posted Oct 5, 2010 12:39 AM by Tyler Durden
The EMSA responds to the EDSA  ASA dispute presentation with a 4 Oct letter to its members ASA Dispute - A response to EDSA's Misleading comments.

From page 5:

"The ASA Board was not aware of Mr. Billings’ notice at the time that it directed the issuance if its notice of a special general meeting."

I would respectfully ask the author of this document to look at the timestamp and distribution list of this email submitted to the courts as part of Mr Innes's affidavit.

And from page 9

"The EMSA Board believes that the EDSA Board’s involvement in this dispute is primarily focused upon taking away EMSA’s voice, and in turn the voice of all children and other soccer participants in EMSA’s programs, in soccer matters at the provincial level. The EDSA Board wishes to reclaim its prior influence and effectively reverse the impact of the 2006 Arbitration Award. To do so the EDSA Board is prepared to skew and misrepresent the facts to its members and to the public. The misleading and incomplete information presented by the EDSA Board to its members at the EDSA Meeting and the lawsuit commenced by EDSA against the ASA Board are examples of the extent that the EDSA Board is willing to take to reclaim its influence. We expect that the EDSA Board will continue to mislead and misrepresent this situation without regard to the consequences that this has upon soccer participants and the game of soccer in general (including the legal costs that all parties are incurring). Ultimately, EDSA only has one goal – to control the votes that EMSA is currently entitled to and to represent District 8 itself (in cooperation with EIYSA) at the Provincial level."
