Inukshuk Governance

Discover how the Inukshuk Housing Co-op is governed through the collaborative efforts of its members, the Board of Directors, and various committees responsible for maintaining operations and community engagement.

Governance & Management Structure at Inukshuk Co-op

The Inukshuk Housing Cooperative is managed by its members, its Board of Directors. Through meetings of the General Membership, the members:

  • Set policy
  • Set budgets
  • Set monthly fees
  • Elect directors
  • Terminate membership
  • Make and change bylaws and policies
  • Hear reports from the various committees

Standing Committee

Every household has to be part of a Standing Committee. These committees are critical to run our community as they provide oversight to the board of directors and the membership. Each committee has a chairperson who is responsible for organizing, running and participating in the committee. Monthly meetings, meeting agendas and meeting minutes must be recorded. Budget requests must be submitted to the board for review and approval. 

Each chairperson reports into the Board of Directors.
