Engagement Matters!

We encourage all member PACs to exercise their own voting and speaking rights by sending a delegate to attend the AGM. If that will not be possible, authorize another individual (from your DPAC or another Member PAC) to carry your PAC's proxy to ensure your PAC's voice is heard.

Proxy Forms are required for your PAC or DPAC to attend and vote/speak at the AGM. We have developed this FAQ to bring clarity to our member PACs and DPACs. The main point to remember is that it is the PAC or DPAC is the member, which is made up of many individuals. The PAC/DPAC must authorize an individual to vote or speak on the PAC's or DPAC's behalf by submitting the correct proxy form.

UPDATED PROXY PROCESS FOR 2025 AGM:

• Voting and Speaking will be conducted online on the Lumi platform, whether attending in-person or virtually.
• Proxy Forms must be downloaded, signed by two Executive members and emailed to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..
• Deadline to submit Proxy Forms: May 14. Late submissions may not be processed in time for the AGM
• Proxies can be revoked and transferred (criteria noted in Q&A below).

Proxy holders must be registered to attend the AGM.

Q: Why has the 2025 proxy process been changed and is no longer an online form?

A: On the advice of the Parliamentarian, we have reverted to our previous downloadable proxy forms for this year’s AGM. Forms must be signed by two executive members and submitted by email.

Q: Are e-signatures or typed names (in the signature field) acceptable on the Proxy Form?

A: You can either:

• print and collect signatures manually, or
• use an e-signing platform that provides a certificate of completion or signature verification (see sample below)

Free tools to collect e-signatures include DropboxSign and PandaDoc.

Proxies with e-signatures created in Adobe Acrobat Reader (“draw signature”), Preview (on Mac) or free online PDF editors that don’t provide a validation certificate (eg. Smallpdf or PDFescape) cannot be processed.

SAMPLE SIGNATURE VALIDATION CERTIFICATE

Q: What is a Proxy Form?

A:  Because our members are PACs and DPACs (ie. Groups), a Proxy Form is used for a PAC/DPAC to authorize an individual to represent them at the AGM, either as a Voting Delegate (with voting and speaking rights) or a Speaking Delegate (with speaking rights only). Each PAC/DPAC must submit a Proxy Vote Form or Proxy Speaker Form to authorize delegates to their assigned roles.

Q: Why is a Proxy Form necessary?

A: As per Bylaw 4.10 (b), a Proxy Form, signed by two Executive members of a PAC or DPAC, is required to confirm that a delegate is authorized to vote and/or speak on behalf of the PAC or DPAC at the AGM.

Q: How do we submit a Proxy Form?

A: Complete forms can be uploaded with the AGM delegate’s registration form or emailed to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..

Q: What is the difference between a Proxy Vote Form and a Proxy Speaker Form?

A: When deciding which Proxy Form to submit, select one of the following options:

• Voting Delegate (Proxy Vote Form):
  • This delegate is authorized to both vote and speak at the AGM.
  • Each PAC/DPAC with voting rights (ie. has paid membership fees by December 31, 2024) may authorize only one Voting Delegate.
  • Voting delegates can move/second/vote on motions and cast ballots for elections.
  • Voting Delegates have speaking privileges and do not need a separate Proxy Speaker Form.
• Speaking Delegate (Proxy Speaker Form):
  • This delegate is authorized to speak but not vote at the AGM.
  • Member PACs/DPACs may authorize multiple Speaking Delegates.
  • Speaking delegates cannot move/second/vote on motions or cast ballots for elections.

Q: Do I submit both Proxy Forms (Proxy Vote Form and Proxy Speaker Form) with my AGM registration?

A: No. Each PAC/DPAC will authorize each registered AGM attendee to either the Voting or Speaking Delegate role. Voting Delegates automatically have speaking privileges and do not submit a separate Proxy Speaker Form. They can move/second/vote on motions and cast ballots for elections. Speaking Delegates do not have voting privileges but may speak on any motion before the assembly. They cannot move/second/vote on motions or cast ballots for elections.

Q: Does my PAC or DPAC need to assign our voting proxy to someone attending the AGM in-person?

A: No. This year’s AGM is a hybrid event, meaning Member PACs/DPACs can send a delegate in-person or virtually to vote and/or speak on their behalf. We encourage PACs and DPACs to take advantage of this opportunity to send someone from their own membership and participate directly in the decision-making process.

Q: How can I find out if my PAC is eligible to attend, vote and speak at the AGM?

A: Check your PAC's status on our Membership List. If your PAC's membership registration form and payment were received by December 31, 2024, "ACTIVE" will appear in the "2024-2025 Member" column and "YES" will appear in the "Eligible to Vote at 2025 AGM" column; this means your PAC is eligible to attend, speak and vote at the AGM.

If your PAC's membership payment was received after December 31, 2024, "ACTIVE" will appear in the "2024-2025 Member column and "NO" will appear in the "Eligible to Vote at 2025 AGM" column; this means your PAC is eligible to attend and speak at the AGM but not vote.

This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. if you have any questions about your membership status.

Q: What is the maximum number of delegates that can attend from a PAC or DPAC?

A: There is no limit to the number of delegates that can attend the AGM from each member PAC or DPAC; however, each registered delegate must submit a separate Proxy Form to confirm their eligibility to attend (and only one of the delegates can be assigned voting rights).

Q: How will voting and speaking work at the AGM?

A: All voting and speaking will be conducted online via Lumi, whether delegates attend the AGM in-person or virtually. Once Proxy Forms are verified, delegates will receive Lumi login credentials and confirmation of Virtual Voting/Speaking Cards by email prior to the AGM. This process will be very similar to the virtual AGM in 2022.

Q: How will I receive my Voting and/or Speaker credentials?

A: All voting and/or speaking delegates will receive Lumi login credentials and confirmation of Virtual Voting/Speaking Cards by email prior to the AGM, once Proxy Forms are verified.

Q: Can a proxy be transferred to another individual?

A: Yes, if the other individual is a registered AGM delegate and the Member PAC/DPAC has authorized the option of a transfer on the original proxy form submission. To transfer a voting or speaking proxy to another individual, the authorized delegate must visit the Proxy Room (in-person delegates only) or send an email to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. to request the transfer paperwork that is to be completed by both the current delegate and the delegate to whom the authorization is being transferred. Confirmation of the transfer will be communicated via email to both parties when it has been completed. 

Q: Can our PAC give our proxy to someone who is not a member of our PAC? 

A: Yes, as long as the individual belongs to a BCCPAC member PAC or DPAC and is registered to attend the AGM. We strongly encourage member PACs to send one of their own members, as ordinary resolutions are often amended during the AGM, which can significantly change the original intent of the motion. The hybrid nature of this event makes attendance easier to participate in-person or virtually. 

Q: Can I hold multiple proxies as a delegate?

A: Yes, you can hold multiple proxies. Each PAC/DPAC must submit a unique Proxy Form assigning you voting and/or speaking rights as their delegate. You must also be registered for the AGM. We encourage you to limit how many proxies you carry to ensure you can fully engage in discussions, effectively represent each PAC/DPAC and efficiently manage online voting responsibilities without confusion or excessive delay.

Q: How can a Proxy Vote or Proxy Speaker status be revoked by the Member PAC/DPAC?

A: One of the two Executive members who signed the original proxy form must send an email (This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.) to request that the proxy be revoked. Login credentials will be deleted.

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.

If you're unsure whether a resolution is the right approach, contact This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. for support.

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.
