The VWCA Governance Committee is responsible for ensuring the VWCA’s compliance with regulatory frameworks (particularly the BC Societies Act), reviewing and updating the Association’s bylaws, regularly reviewing and updating staff and Board job descriptions and terms of reference, and leading discussions and review/renewal processes regarding Board governance. Sounds boring, but it is critically important for our smooth operation!

In 2025, the Board commissioned an Organisational Review, and in 2025-26, the Governance Committee will study the recommendations of that review for the purpose of recommending appropriate governance changes to the Board.

If you are a resident of Vic West, have relevant experience or a keen interest in governance issues, and would like to join the Governance Committee, please email us at governance@victoriawest.ca
