SGPS Council

SGPS Council acts as the legislative body of the SGPS. Its decisions are final unless they are amended or rejected by a referendum or General Meeting. The Council is responsible for directing and overseeing the activities of the Executive, for formulating and authorizing Society policies and acting as a liaison between the Executive and the ordinary members of the Society. The decisions of the Executive may be amended or rejected by a majority vote of the Council.

Council meetings take place monthly (except for June and July). They allow elected departmental representatives to connect with the SGPS Executive and Commissioners and other representatives from departments across the University. Council representatives are to act as a liaison between the SGPS and the students within their respective departments.

Meeting location and Council documents will be sent to the Council mailing list before each meeting. All meetings are at 5:30 PM unless otherwise noted in the Council agenda. 

If you have any questions regarding SGPS Council, please contact our Council Speaker at speaker@sgps.ca
