By-law Proposals

After engagement with membership through open engagement sessions and third-party focus groups, review by the By-law Review Committee, drafting by legal counsel, and further member engagement, Council has approved the list of by-law proposals for 2026.

Council is proposing three separate changes under By-law 10.1, 10.2, and 15.3.8. These proposals were developed from suggestions from Council, members, committees, and staff.

Current By-law
Changes
10.1 Dues and Fees
Clarifies the differences between what a "due" is and what a "fee" is and how and when each is published and is to be remitted.
10.2 Reduction, Waiver or Deferment of Dues
Clarifies language around what is more broadly referred to as "Dues Relief". This change would be accompanied by a new Council approved policy.
15.3.8 Report of the Investigation Committee
Updates the language to match that of the Act and ensures that all complainants are notified of their right to appeal decisions of the Investigation Committee.

Each by-law proposal will be considered and voted on by the membership separately.

A by-law discussion forum is available through the online profile until the start of the vote period.
