BY-LAW UPDATE
After soliciting member feedback via a committee of members and membership poll, the Board has approved a new draft set of by-laws in accordance with the Ontario Not-For-Profit Corporations Act. This draft  will be posted for member review on June 1. On June 17, we will hold a Town Hall at the club, at which time members may ask questions. On September 23, members will vote on the by-laws and, if passed, they will be enacted on September 24, 2023. Stay tuned for more info.

A FOND FAREWEL
With regrets, Christine Parris stepped down from the Board this year to focus on other things. Christine (pictured above with Matthew Gnyp after winning the 2022 Mixed Doubles Championship) was an enthusiastic member of the Board for more than 10 years, playing a critical role in building the Junior program. In 2020, Christine stepped up from Vice President to President at very short notice. She guided the Board throughout the pandemic, and was instrumental in improving governance and professionalism at the club. We are honoured to have worked with her, will miss her in our monthly meetings and look forward to seeing her on the courts. The Board discussed and decided that we can divide her responsibilities and voted not to fill the vacant position for the remainder of her term.
