About Policy & Briefs

The resolution process is an important one for NCWC. There are dates to be aware of for submission, which are noted in the calendar.

Generally, in early January, the package of resolutions is mailed to all Local and Provincial Councils and National Affiliates. Proposed amendments are then submitted to the Resolutions Convener in preparation for the AGM, held in early June. All members of Council have an opportunity to propose, review, amend and vote on resolutions.

Here are some of the basic concepts on resolutions, policy and briefs:

Resolution: A resolution is proposed policy, proposed by a local or provincial Council or a Nationally Organized Society, which is presented at the AGM for debate and a vote.

Policy: A policy is a resolution that is passed at the AGM.

Brief: A brief is a paper submitted to government or an official body, which states our policy and suggests a course of action.
