To amend existing bylaws or adopt new bylaws on transition requires member approval by special resolution.
To amend existing bylaws or adopt new bylaws on transition requires member approval by special resolution.


Changes made to bylaws before November 28, 2016 required approval by 3/4 of the votes cast at a members’ meeting. After that date, changes to bylaws require approval by 2/3 of votes cast. The exception is if a society has a higher voting threshold for special resolutions (such as 3/4) set out in their bylaws. In that case, the higher threshold will apply, as increased thresholds are permitted under the new Act.
