Call for Resolutions and By-Law Amendments

Changes to the Institute By-laws

By-Law 13.1.4.1 states No By-Law shall be enacted, repealed or amended by a General Meeting unless details of proposed changes were submitted to the Office of the General Counsel no later than twelve (12) weeks prior to a General Meeting.

Resolutions

By-Law 13.1.4.3 states Resolutions, in writing, must be received at the Office of the General Counsel not less than twelve (12) weeks before the commencement of a General Meeting. Resolutions must be submitted by September 4, 2026 by email at resolutions@pipsc.ca.

AGM resolutions are first received by the Resolutions Sub-Committee (RSC).

The mandate of the RSC is to consolidate, monitor and clarify resolutions for submission to the AGM. The RSC is available to help and to provide advice to sponsors regarding wording to ensure clarity and compliance with Institute By-Laws and Policies. If there is a cost associated with resolutions (financial resolutions), sponsors should submit related numbers with their resolution, for review by the RSC.

To assist in the process of writing resolutions, please refer to the pocket guide “Write that Resolution”.
