Let’s assume the relevant provision in the society’s existing bylaws was drawn from the old Schedule B model bylaws under the old Society Act, which read:
<blockquote>'''''Part 2 – Membership'''
8 (1) A member may be expelled by a special resolution of the members passed at a general meeting.
(2) The notice of special resolution for expulsion must be accompanied by a brief statement of the reasons for the proposed expulsion.
(3) The person who is the subject of the proposed resolution for expulsion must be given an opportunity to be heard at the general meeting before the special resolution is put to a vote.''</blockquote>
