Constitution

The University of Waterloo Optometry Student Society (UWOSS) passed an official set of bylaws (2011) and a constitution in October 2011 for the first time since 1992! The 2011 Constitution was passed in the October 2011 referendum, with 36% member voting turnout, and 100% voting in favour.

The constitution and bylaws were revised in 2014.  The 2014 Constitution and 2014 Bylaws were passed in March 2014, with voting members exceeding quorum and 96% voting in favour.  Thank you to Sean Reimer (Class of 2015) for running the referendum.

Bylaw III-4 and III-5, regarding the election timetable and procedures, were revised in Oct 2016 to reflect the change in the Orientation Week Schedule. UWOSS Council voting members exceeded quorum and 100% voted in favour of the 2016 Bylaws.

The constitution is always available for review. Please feel free to address anyone on the UWOSS Executive if you have any questions by emailing uwoss@uwaterloo.ca.
