By-Law Amendments

A discussion was held with membership regarding adding an item in the operational policy to post EGMHA Executive Meeting minutes on our website. This was passed and will be added on a go-forward basis to our EGMHA Library which can be found on our website.


The new EGMHA General Operating By-Laws as per the Ontario Non-Profit Corporation Legislation was passed. The set of new By-Laws can be found here: EGMHA_General_Operating_By-Law_June_2024

 
EGMHA Operating Policy
With the adopting of the new EGMHA General Operating By-Law to conform with the new Ontario Not for Profit Corporations Act (ONCA) we have incorporated items that were in the previous Constitution and By-Laws into a new Operating Policy document which is now in effect.

 

The new Operating Policy gives the EGMHA Executive detailed guidelines to conduct the daily operations of the association and to best serve the interest of our members. It does not contradict nor circumvent the proposed EGMHA General Operating By-Law

 

The Executive will have the right to modify the Operating Policy as needed, with a majority vote of the Executive members.

 

The Operating Policy can be found here: EGMHA_Operating_Policy_June_2024
