Bylaw Changes

The board began a two-year bylaw review in 2016 and has been engaged in a comprehensive review process to address both substantive bylaw subject matter areas and more routine amendments. The proposed changes will be proposed as special resolutions at the 2018 Annual General Meeting. Read the full text of the Proposed Bylaw Amendments. Copies are also available at Customer Service or by email to board@hornbyislandcoop.ca (as well as any questions about the resolutions).

One of the defining characteristics of Co-ops is democratic member control – our AGM is the perfect time to exercise your member benefits! We look forward to seeing you there.
