SSA Bylaws – Article 21.1 - Amendments to the By-laws and Articles
21.1.1  No change, amendment, addition, or alteration to the By-laws or Articles of Incorporation shall be made except at the Annual General Meeting of the SSA and shall require the agreement of a two-thirds (2/3) majority of the voting delegates.
21.1.2  Notice of any proposed amendment or change to the By-laws shall be sent to each Regular Member, Associate Member and Life Member, at least 30 days before the Annual General Meeting at which they are to be considered.
21.1.3  Before any proposed amendment to the By-laws is presented to the Annual General Meeting, it must be forwarded to the Board.  Notice of the proposed amendment must be given to the Board no less than 90 days before the anniversary of the last annual general meeting. 

After a detailed member consultation process the SSA received wide-spread support from Membership to put forth amendments to the Articles and Bylaws. In addition, we have received one amendment, submitted by Saskatoon Youth (SYSI) and Saskatoon Adult (SASI) soccer associations which was received after the consultation.  
PLEASE BE ADVISED: To ensure that we have sufficient debate about this amendment in advance of the AGM, a webinar will be set up and dates and details will be forwarded in the near future.
