Bylaw history:
The attached chart has a complete list of all bylaw numbers used in Woodsworth.
It includes:
– numbers that were skipped
– bylaws that have been repealed, and
– amending bylaws.
This list is for administrative use, for assigning numbers for new bylaws, and for capturing the history of Woodsworth’s bylaws.
You can also find a version history listed in some bylaws, usually at the start of the document.
Bylaw numbers are accurate from 1991 onwards. However, they may be rescinded and replaced by newer versions or amended by another bylaw or policy.
Unnumbered bylaws:
Some bylaw amendments were passed without numbers:
Amendment to Organizational By-Law #1 – Feb 27, 1980, June 23, 1980, Jan 23, 1984.
Amendment to Occupancy By-Law #2 – May 31, 1988 (rescinded)
Amendment to Rules By-Law #19 – Apr 23, 1980
Amendment to Membership By-Law #20 – Apr 2, 1981, June 23, 1980
Amendment to Maintenance By-Law #21 – Apr 23, 1980, Sept 14, 1981.
Consolidation:
March 1991: Bylaw numbers prior to 1991 have conflicting information. Some numbers are used more than once. This list includes these anomalies and we have maintained the histories from the 1991 consolidation, in spite of these inconsistencies.
September 30, 2010: all Bylaws were consolidated up to April 2010, making the consolidated Bylaws the approved Bylaws of Woodsworth Housing Co-op. Since then, some bylaws have been repealed and replaced.
