At the recent Annual General Meeting, the membership voted to accept a revised Club By-law.  The document is available here.

Revised Draft By-Law

As a result of discussion at the Annual General Meeting, September 2019, the Board of Directors has made revisions to the existing Club By-law to address several issues, including,

• Voting by the Board
• Conflict of Interest
• Creation and Dissolution of Sub-committees
• Use of proxy votes at Annual General and Special Meetings of the Membership
• Electronic posting of Board documentation

We intend to present the draft, located here, at the September Annual General Meeting. We encourage you to read the revised document, and bring along a copy to the meeting. New wording is presented in red text. There are annotations throughout the document to explain why we are introducing changes to wording. If you have any trouble with the Google format, you can download it as a Word file here.

We will address questions on the draft, and will ask the membership to approve it.
