Bylaws & Governance
Queer Yukon's next Annual General Meeting is Scheduled for:
Sun. Dec. 5 @ 3pm
Via Zoom
The QYS board is committed to hearing from our members. In order to add an item to the AGM agenda, QYS strongly encourages members to contact the board by Tues. Nov. 16, 2021 @ 5pm to give the QYS board enough time to provide the required notice to members in advance of the Annual General Meeting.
Items submitted after Tues. Nov. 16, 2021 can still be discussed at the AGM, but according to our bylaws, resolutions submitted after this date cannot be voted on by members at this meeting.
You can contact QYS using the contact form on this website or by emailing: info@queeryukon.com
The QYS board is committed to transparency in the proceedings for the upcoming AGM. Items submitted for the AGM Agenda by members will either be:
1. Added to the AGM Agenda OR;
2. Identified and communicated to members as not being on the AGM Agenda. Items not placed on the agenda will include the board's rationale for not including that item (e.g. trans/homo/biphobic requests, items proposed "in bad faith", items requiring an additional special general meeting of members).
The AGM agenda will be sent out to members in advance of the meeting. At the AGM itself, the AGM agenda can be confirmed or amended by a simple majority vote of members. However, items submitted to QYS after Nov. 16, 2021 cannot be voted on at the AGM, as it does not allow us enough time to provide notice to members.
Queer Yukon Society bylaws are largely identical to the default bylaws outlined in the Societies Act. The only difference is that a motion was passed at the 2018 AGM limiting the number of board members to 8. The bylaws can be found here, starting on page 13:
