Governance Committee

The Governance Committee has the task of reviewing two documents, which provide guidance and set parameters for the Golden Horseshoe Chapter of CCI. These two documents are the GHC Policies and Procedures and GHC By-laws. The Governance Committee reviews these documents on a regular basis.

The Policies and Procedures document is reviewed approximately every two years and the chapter By-laws are reviewed approximately every five years. There are a number of reasons for these reviews. The most important reason for reviewing the chapter by-laws is to ensure they are in line with current government legislation, particularly the Condominium Act, as amended. The primary reason for reviewing the chapter’s Policies and Procedures is to make sure the chapter is operating as effectively and efficiently as possible in a collegial unbiased manner. The last review of Policies and Procedures was completed during the fiscal year 20182019, while the last By-law review was completed for the fiscal year 2019-2020 and approved at the AGM held October 21, 2020. Amendments are not confined to the two-year and fiveyear timeline and may be introduced and recommended by the committee to the GHC directors if and when special needs arise.

The committee is currently composed of Ed Keenleyside, Carole Booth, Stephanie Sutherland and Joe Gaetan, with the assistance of other GHC Board members if and when required. We are always open to new ideas, suggestions, advice and especially to new members. Thanks to the Condo News for this opportunity to highlight this lesser known GHC committee.
