Resolutions Submissions

Resolution Submissions for the 2025 AGM

Deadline for Special Resolutions: March 15, 2025

Deadline for Ordinary Resolutions: April 30, 2025 (for inclusion in the final AGM Booklet circulated by email)

The BCCPAC Annual General Meeting (AGM) will be held May 24-25, 2025, in Prince George and online. Members in good standing are invited to submit Special and Ordinary Resolutions for consideration.

Resolutions are one way for members to bring forward important issues for discussion and action. A well-prepared resolution can strengthen BCCPAC’s advocacy and ensure meaningful impact.

We urge all member PACs and DPACs to thoroughly read the following documents to effectively participate in the resolution process:

• Resolutions Guide: A comprehensive manual detailing the steps and considerations in crafting a resolution.
• Policy 4020 (Member Resolutions): Outlines the policy containing protocols for submitting proposed resolutions for consideration at the Annual General Meeting (AGM).
• Policy 4030 (Archival of Resolutions): Outlines the process for archiving resolutions.

Consult the List of Resolutions to see whether your resolution or a similar one already exists.

Why Submit Early?

We strongly recommend submitting both Ordinary and Special Resolutions as soon as possible to allow enough time for review and discussion:

• The Resolutions Committee can work with proposers to refine wording, ensure compliance with Policy 4020 (Member Resolutions), and resolve any issues that might prevent a resolution from being accepted.
• Early submissions allow members more time to review and discuss resolutions before the AGM.
• The AGM Booklet will be updated periodically with vetted resolutions. Resolutions submitted after April 30, 2025, will not be included in the email distribution of the AGM Booklet.

Before Submitting a Resolution

Before submitting, consider:

• Whether the issue meets the requirements in Policy 4020 – Member Resolutions.
• Whether the issue can be resolved in other ways.
• Whether you have already approached BCCPAC to see if the issue is already being addressed it, if it has bee considered previously, whether it can be addressed, etc.
• Taking the time necessary to ensure the resolution is clearly explained and supported with a strong rationale, even if it means the submission needs to wait until a future AGM.
• Ensuring the resolution is necessary, strategic, and contributes meaningfully to BCCPAC’s work.

Special Resolutions

Special Resolutions involve amendments to BCCPAC’s Constitution and Bylaws, or governance matters and must be submitted well in advance.

Special Resolutions Can:

• Amend the Constitution or Bylaws (Bylaw 9.2).
• Call for the removal of a BCCPAC Director (Bylaw 5.20).
• Authorize the Board to issue debentures (Bylaw 8.5).
• Restrict the Board’s borrowing powers until the next AGM (Bylaw 8.7).

Submission Deadline: March 15, 2025, at 11:59 PM PST. Early submission is strongly encouraged to allow time for review, discussion, and revisions if needed.

Ordinary Resolutions

Ordinary Resolutions typically:

• Advocate for changes to BC’s public education system.
• Provide strategic recommendations to the BCCPAC Board.

Ordinary Resolutions must be submitted by April 30, 2025, to be included in the emailing of the AGM Booklet.
