On October 25th, 2005 Equity's national Council adopted changes to the Association's governance structure and amended the By-Laws of the Association. Council also endorsed a motion to amend the size of Council. The change to Equity's Constitution requires a national referendum, now scheduled for early 2006. 

Equity is scheduling member meetings across Canada to discuss the impact of these structural changes, the Constitutional referendum to reduce the size of Council and plans for member elections next year.

Meetings will be scheduled in each region of the country.
