BY-LAW REVIEW PROCESS

BY-LAW NO. 1, BY-LAW NO. 2, AND ARTICLES (formerly Letters Patent)

Dear Members:
The DBA By-law Review Task Team has worked diligently on reformatting the Deanlea Beach By-laws and Articles (formerly Letters Patent) to align with the Not-for-Profit Corporations Act, 2010: Standard Organizational By-law. This standard organizational by-law format has been approved by the Ministry of Government and Consumer Services for the purposes of section 18 (https://www.ontario.ca/laws/statute/10n15#BK23) of the Not-for-Profit Corporations Act, 2010 (ONCA). This new law requires that all organizations submit revised by-laws that meet these new requirements by the end of October 2024.
At the same time, the Task Team reviewed the existing by-laws and as part of that review, the Task Team is proposing some changes that better reflect the way business is currently carried out and/or is considered a best practice. NB: Feedback from a review process done a few years back was also considered.
DBA By-law Review Task Team members: Connie Wheeler (Chair), John Gordon, Joan Condie, Rosie Finny, Michael Ryan (resigned) and Special Advisor, Petra Wolfbeiss.
NB: The three (3) documents are currently being reviewed by a lawyer. Feedback from this review will be incorporated as part of the overall review process.

An email also has been sent out to the DBA communicating the above and attached process.
