AMENDMENTS TO THE CONSTITUTION/BY-LAWS
The Ontario Not-for-Profit Corporations Act (ONCA) provides Ontario not-for-profit corporations, including Newmarket Baseball Association, with a modern legal framework on how not-for-profit corporations are created, governed and dissolved. Since Newmarket Baseball must now comply with ONCA there was a need to update the Constitution and By-Lawls for the 2024 season.
Newmarket Baseball has been working with a Steve Indig who specializes in sports law to ensure we are in compliance with the new regulations. The previous Constitutuion and By-Laws have been merged into the new 2024 Newmarket Baseball Association By-Laws. This new document will be reviewed and voted on by the members at the AGM.
Any motion to make any changes to the By-Laws must be submitted in writing to the Secretary of the NBA no later than two weeks prior to the Annual General Meeting. Please email any motions to secretary@newmarketbaseball.com

1. Motion to accept the new 2024 By-Laws as written by Steve Indig, Sports Lawyer.
2. Motion to add a new Director of Elite to the Composition of the Board. (Paragraph 4.1)
3. Motion to alter paragraph 4.9 to align staggered voting of the directors.
