The Governance Committee reported at the AGM on the significant work it has undertaken to enhance the Association’s operational framework:

  • The committee has largely completed the Board Policy Manual (member login required). It will undergo periodic review to ensure it remains accurate and relevant.
  • A complete overhaul of the Association’s bylaw has been finalized and confirmed by special resolution of the members. This revision ensures consistency with the Canada Not-for-Profit Corporations Act, aligns with current operational practices, and corrects previous translation discrepancies between the French and English versions.
