Equine Canada is amending its Bylaws in compliance with the new Canada Not-For-Profit Corporations Act.
These Bylaws will also serve to revitalize our organization, and help to shape the future of the Canadian equestrian community.
Key features include:
• Strengthening member rights through increased accountability and transparency;
• Improving efficiencies;
• Embracing new technologies.
In this endeavor a holistic approach is required to realize the true potential of the organization. Elements of Equine Canada’s renewal include the following:
• One Vision strategic plan
• Vision, mission and goals
• Code of Practice for the Care and Handling of Equines
• Governance review – alignment of structure, policy and procedures
• National Learn to Trial Ride program
• Competition review based on LTED principles
• Revised Bylaws and Letters Patent.
Equine Canada’s revised Bylaws are the result of consultation with many sectors within the equestrian community as well as legal and governance experts.
In the coming months, eligible* members will be asked to review and vote on Equine Canada’s proposed Bylaw changes.
Equine Canada welcomes the opportunity to answer any questions you have related to the proposed Bylaw changes. Responses to questions will be part of an active Q&A section. Send questions to: governance@equinecanada.ca.
*Equine Canada Individual members, Provincial/Territorial association, National Association and Corporate members, of eligible age and in good standing, are eligible to vote.
