What is a resolution session?

This year we are introducing a resolution session to our AGM to allow members to submit ideas in a formal manner so they may be discussed within a consistent format and voted upon by a quorum of members.

This is an advisory resolution session.  This means that all resolutions that are approved by the members will be passed on to the Executive for further consideration but they are not binding on the Executive.  They must be discussed further within the context of the club’s mission, objectives, priorities, constitution and bylaws.

A set of guidelines has been developed.  It contains the procedures for the session and the follow-up that will occur.  Please download and read them: OSC Resolution Session Guidelines final 2018-04-09

If you wish to submit a resolution to the 2018 Annual General Meeting, it must be done in advance and in writing.  You must have this resolution seconded by another club member.  One of you must be present at the meeting to speak to the resolution.  You will be given 3 minutes to outline your resolution and then we will have approximately 5 minutes of discussion from the floor (time will be determined by the chair of the resolution session).  After that, there will be a vote of members on whether to approve the resolution and pass it on to the Executive for further study or to not approve.  If a resolution is not approved, it will be marked as so and retained in our files.

To submit a resolution, please use this form: Resolution Form 2018-04-13 Please note that the ‘whereas’ section of the form is where you put the background information about your issue, any notes that you think are pertinent to your discussion.  Your actual resolution is to go in the ‘Be it Resolved’ section.  The resolution should contain some type of action.

Resolutions must be received by midnight, Wednesday, May 9th, 2018 in order to be addressed at the 2018 AGM. They may be submitted as follows:

• by mail to Omineca Ski Club, Box 1008, Burns Lake  V0J 1E0
• by the website using the online form found at this link
• by email to info@ominecaskiclub.ca (download, print and then scan your form to submit in pdf or jpg format)
• by depositing your completed form in the green day use bin in the Wax Cabin
• by personally delivering it to a member of the Executive

Fat Biking at Omineca Ski Club

The executive is working hard to address the complexities and possibilities of introducing fat biking to our groomed ski trails.  At the December 4th meeting three resolutions were passed.  In short:

• a working group will be formed to collect information and submit recommendations to the executive and members.
• Sanctioned, single day events will be held this winter and event insurance will be purchased for them
• Fat bikes will not be permitted on groomed trails during the winter of 2017-18 with the exception of sanctioned single day events

Please follow this link to our fat bike information page, fill out our user survey and send us your comments.
