3. DELEGATES
a. Branches: To determine your branch representation:
every branch is entitled to send one accredited delegate for every 100 voting members or fraction thereof, which includes ordinary, associate and affiliate-members (Subsection 903.a).
branch representation is based on the number of paid-up voting members at the end of the preceding calendar year (Subsection 903.b). However, every delegate to a Dominion Convention must be paid up to the end of the current year (Section 905). Delegates, therefore, must be members in good standing and paid up to 31 December 2018.
branches formed on or after 1 January 2018 are entitled to send one delegate to the convention; the delegate must have their dues paid up to 31 December 2018 (Subsection 903.c).
5
47TH DOMINION CONVENTION // CONVENTION CALL
It is vital to the successful organization of the
convention that branches pay particular attention to the above constitutional requirements.
b. Dominion Executive Council: Voting members of the Dominion Executive Council who are not accredited branch delegates shall be accredited delegates to the convention (Subsection 907.a), however, they may only carry proxies if they are an accredited branch delegate as defined in Section 911 of The General By-Laws.
c. Past Dominion Presidents: All Past Dominion Presidents who are not accredited branch delegates shall be accredited delegates to Convention (Subsection 907.b), however, they may only carry proxies if they are an accredited branch delegate as defined in Section 911 of The General By-Laws.
4. DELEGATE ACCREDITATION:
CREDENTIAL CERTIFICATE
To become an accredited delegate, branches are to
complete the enclosed Credential Certificate and forward to your Provincial Command office. Additional copies may be obtained from your
command office or login to the member’s portal at
https://portal.legion.ca/login and click Branch and Command Resources, then Dominion Convention.
It is important that the Credential Certificate be completed properly. The Convention Credentials Committee must ensure that individuals registering as delegates are properly accredited; if incorrect or incomplete information is received, the member’s accreditation could be jeopardized.
Provincial Commands will provide delegate lists to the Convention Credentials Committee prior to the opening of registration.
Important: It is extremely important that only delegates
accredited by their branch be permitted to take an
active part in deciding matters of policy at a Dominion
Convention. The Convention Credentials Committee
does not wish to turn away any properly accredited
delegate; neither does the committee wish to permit
unauthorized persons to vote on matters of Legion
policy.
5. VOTING AND PROXIES
Only accredited delegates may vote at convention (Section 914). Each delegate will have one vote; when an election ballot vote is required, however, proxies may be used.
Any delegate, accredited by the branch of
which he is a member, may carry, in addition to his own credentials, up to four proxy credentials. These proxies may be from any branch or branches within his own Provincial Command (Section 911).
Proxies must be registered at the opening of the convention and may only be used when an election ballot vote is required (Section 912).
Every proxy, to be valid, shall include a credential certificate naming the delegate entitled to register such proxy (Section 913).
A branch that wishes to be represented by proxy must complete a Credential Certificate in order that the delegate designated as the holder of the proxy can make use of the vote(s) at their disposal. Strict attention to this requirement will prevent delay and possible disappointment when credentials are being examined by the Convention Credentials Committee.
Important: In order for a delegate to carry proxies, the
person must be an accredited delegate of their own branch.
6. REGISTRATION PROCESS
Delegates and observers will register at the Winnipeg RBC Convention Centre. Upon payment of the registration fee, delegates and observers will be provided with a delegate kit and meeting book; they will then be directed to their respective Provincial Command desk where they will be issued a nametag and ballot book(s) as applicable.
7. REGISTRATION FEES
The fees, payable in cash only at the time of registration in Winnipeg, are:
Delegate: $60 Observer: $20

CONVENTION CALL // 47TH DOMINION CONVENTION
8. RESOLUTIONS
Resolutions to be dealt with at convention:
shall be submitted from a branch through the
respective Provincial Command (Subsection 919.a).
may be submitted by a branch or branches, command or standing committee of Dominion Command (Subsection 919.b).
must be received at Dominion Command at least 112 days prior to the opening of the convention (Subsection 919.c).
Deadline for receipt of resolutions at Dominion Command is
6 May 2018. Late resolutions: Resolutions received after 6 May 2018 will be considered as Late Resolutions. Late resolutions will be referred to the Dominion Executive Council meeting prior to the Dominion Convention. Only those resolutions considered urgent will be presented to the convention for consideration; resolutions deemed not to be urgent will be returned to the respective Provincial Command following the Dominion Convention.
Important: Branches are to ensure that all resolutions are
submitted prior to the deadline established by their
respective Provincial Command. Allowance must be made for
the length of time mail takes in transit.
9. TRAVEL ARRANGEMENTS AND
HOTEL ACCOMMODATION
Each delegate is responsible for making his/her own travel and hotel reservations. WestJet has confirmed that a discount of 10% off Econo and 15% off Plus base fares is available by using coupon code YWG02 and coupon code HJWEIAA with their simple online booking process.

This list details the room types available, rates and proximity to the Winnipeg RBC Convention Centre. To make a room reservation, delegates are to call the telephone number for the hotel of their choice and quote the special code listed to receive the discounted rate.
The deadline date for making your hotel reservation is 25 June 2018. It is strongly recommended that delegates make their arrangements as early as possible as reservations after this date are subject to availability.
Delegates and observers not requiring accommodation must inform their Provincial Command of their attendance in order that their names can be included on the master attendance list, which will be distributed to command registration desks. This requirement also applies to those persons traveling by motor home.
