the National Representative Council shall consist of
delegates from Locals in good standing. Any Local three
(3) months or more behind in their dues, thirty (30)
days prior to a National Representative Council meeting,
will not be deemed to be in good standing. However,
should a Local remit all owed dues anytime prior to
the National Representative Council meeting, good standing
status will be awarded.
Local Travel Subsidies
Locals consisting of 150 or fewer
members or those Locals whose delegates must travel
a great distance may request a travel subsidy. These
requests must be submitted six weeks in advance of
the meeting. Locals
will be notified three weeks in advance of the meeting.
Certification
of Delegates
As per CWA|SCA Canada Bylaws,
local secretaries must ensure the certification of
all delegates to the meeting. See “Certification
Form” above.
Delegates & Observers

A list of all those planning to
attend the meeting (either as a delegate or an observer)
is to be mailed out prior to the meeting. Consequently,
it is very important that you take the time to complete

kits, or they can be brought to the meeting for distribution.
If submitting to head office, please do so electronically
if possible.
Submitting Agenda Items
Locals may submit agenda items to
head office for consideration by the National
Representative Council. The items must be submitted

of the meeting. The “Proposed
Agenda” will then be circulated via email.

All Locals are reminded that proposed
bylaw amendments or revisions must be submitted to the CWA|SCA
Canada office at least 45 days in advance of the meeting
at which the proposal would be considered. Such notice will

of the meeting. (Proposed changes to the Bylaws of CWA|SCA
Canada must come from the executive body of a member Local
