Provincial Chapters

CSNM bylaws state that “The Board of Directors may form Provincial Chapters. Provincial Chapters may only be formed after approval of the Board of Directors of the Society of an application made on behalf of members in that Province or Territory. With any provincial chapter of CSNM, no provincial chapter shall not, without prior written consent of the Board of Directors of the Society, engage in any activity or undertaking, which may be considered by the public to represent CSNM”.

If a provincial chapter has been formed, but has been inactive for a period of time, and wishes to reactivate the chapter, there are two different procedures. 

1. If a provincial chapter has been formed, but has been inactive for a period of time and wishes to reactivate the chapter, the person wishing to reactivate the chapter must apply in writing to the Executive as to their intent. The letter must be accompanied by three (3) letters of support from that province. The letters must be from three (3) provincial members who are active members in good standing of CSNM.
2. If a provincial chapter of CSNM had to be discontinued and applied to the office in writing that two thirds of the membership had wished to disassemble, the province needs to follow the above process in the formation of a provincial chapter.
