The Nominating Committee will, as director vacancies occur or are anticipated, review the needs of the Board for specific expertise, resources, geographical representation, or skills necessary to bring strength and balance to the Board. Membership on the Board of Directors should not focus on a single issue in the activities of the organization and rather should be considered on diversity of experience and background.

The Nominating Committee shall identify, check references, interview and recruit suitably qualified individuals willing to consider being nominated for position of Director, and recommend their appointment to the Board in a manner consistent with the By-law and these policies.

The Nominating Committee will maintain a file of all interested candidates who have been so reviewed in compliance with Personal Information Protection Act.

The Nominating Committee will be comprised of the Board Chairperson (or Vice Chair), Past Chair, one director and the Executive Director.
