Special Resolution 1: Updates on By-law No. 1

WE RESOLVE:

THAT, as a special resolution, By-law No. 1 of the Co-operative Housing Federation of Canada be amended, as attached.

OUR REASONS FOR THIS RESOLUTION ARE:

1. CHF Canada’s By-law 1 defines issues related to membership, meetings of members, the Board of Directors, officers and other issues of importance for the association.
2. The updates proposed by this resolution are intended to make it more user-friendly, clarify the terms and details of membership and reflect current language and practices.
3. A sub-committee of the Board of Directors was struck to oversee the drafting of these proposed updates, particularly as it relates to membership. Legal counsel was present in meetings, to ensure alignment with relevant legislation and association practices. The Board of Directors then reviewed and approved the draft updates for the consideration of the membership at the 2025 Annual Meeting.

WE THINK THAT THIS WILL COST:

There are no costs associated with this resolution.
