At Convention 2018, the delegation debated and carried Bylaw Resolution 19-2018 which called for the addition of a Provincial Chief Grievance Officer (PCGO) to the Provincial Executive Committee (PEC).  Please see the Resolution Package for Convention 2018 for complete details on the resolution.  Our APBC Bylaws have also been amended to reflect the change to the composition of the PEC and to describe the duties of the PCGO.  Bylaw 9.4 speaks specifically to the responsibility of the PCGO:

(e)   Represent and act as the Provincial 2nd Vice-President if that Officer is unable to fulfil their duties;

(f)    Upon termination of office, promptly surrender all books, seals, monies, and other properties of the local to his/her successor in office.

As outlined in Bylaw Resolution 19-2018, the PCGO position will be filled in accordance with Bylaw 13.d3. Following nominations, a by-election will be held at a Provincial Executive Board meeting.

As required by our Bylaws, this is the FIRST (1^st) & SECOND (2^nd) call for nominations for the role of Provincial Chief Grievance Officer.
