Extra-ordinary General Assembly 2026
The Club has updated its Bylaws (Règlements généraux) in accordance with the current Patinage Québec template. In accordance with the requirements of Skate Canada and Patinage Québec, these bylaws must be approved by the members (Registered with Skate Canada for the 2025-2026 season) at an Extraordinary General Assembly Meeting.
Members (Registered with Skate Canada for the 2025-2026 season) are therefore hereby called to attend an Extraordinary General Assembly Meeting, which will be held as follows:
Date: August 6, 2026
Time: 6:30 p.m.
Location: Room 500AB, Sports Complex
The agenda will focus exclusively on the presentation and adoption of the revised Bylaws.
The CPA Saint-Laurent (CPASTL) is a non-profit organization and a member of Skate Canada and Patinage Québec. The Club is governed and administered by a Board of Directors composed of volunteers and is dedicated to delivering Skate Canada and Patinage Québec programs to its members.
All members of the CPASTL are subject to and must comply with the bylaws, policies, rules, and regulations of the Club, the Regional Association, Patinage Québec, and Skate Canada.
The CPASTL retains autonomy over its internal governance, provided that its bylaws, policies, and practices do not conflict with those of Skate Canada, Patinage Québec, or the Regional Association. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any applicable provincial legislation governing the Club shall prevail over any incompatible bylaw, policy, or regulation.
In accordance with Patinage Québec Policy POL-23, dated October 7, 2025, Section 5 – Annual Obligations of Clubs and Skating Schools to Remain in Good Standing with Skate Canada and Patinage Québec, subsection 5.2 (Patinage Québec), the Club is required to adopt and periodically update its Bylaws (Règlements généraux) using the template prescribed by Patinage Québec in order to maintain its good standing with both Patinage Québec and Skate Canada.
The Patinage Québec template serves as a generic model intended to reflect the requirements of Quebec legislation and the governance framework applicable to skating clubs. In adapting this template, CPASTL has incorporated governance principles from the original Bylaws (Règlements généraux) developed by Roland Grand’Maison, an educator, lawyer, and respected leader in non-profit organizations dedicated to sport and science. Prior to his retirement, Mr. Grand’Maison was widely recognized as one of Quebec’s foremost experts in governance for volunteer-led sports organizations. These principles have been retained where they remain consistent with current legislation and the requirements of Patinage Québec and Skate Canada.
The proposed update to the Bylaws (Règlements généraux) has been reviewed by legal counsel and representatives of Patinage Québec.
