Re: Team Constitution and/or Bylaw

In this case, we've established a community-based team partly because of the restrictions involved with being in a school. We've formed a not-for-profit corporation which oversees the team and have set up a partnership with a local community college where we will meet. As part of the process we must have a constitution within a set period of time. It isn't the same as a team handbook. In Canada, not-for-profit and charitable are not the same thing. One is provincial and can't give out tax receipts. The other is federal and can but the paperwork and reporting is more challenging. We're in the process of setting up a relationship with the local Community Foundation to help with the tax receipt issue.
