Our By-Laws
Updated January 2020
A by-law relating generally to the conduct of the affairs of Dodgeball Canada (the "Corporation")
​
Dodgeball is a game in which players on two teams try to throw balls at each other while avoiding being hit themselves. In Canada, the game is played by people of all ages in informal and formal settings on playgrounds, community spaces, or in organised recreational leagues.
​
The majority of the established dodgeball leagues in Canada are co-ed although there are tournaments on occasion that call for all-women’s or all-men’s teams.
​
There are many variations of the game, but generally the main objective of each team is to eliminate all members of the opposing team by hitting them with thrown balls, catching a ball thrown by a member of the opposing team, or forcing an opposing player to move outside the court boundaries when a ball is thrown at them.
​
The number of dodgeballs used in the game often varies, but the most common number of balls used in Canadian leagues is 6. Exceptions are usually made if a court is particularly small or if many people participate.
​
Dodgeball can be played with different types of dodgeballs. The most common type used in Canada is foam, although a number of leagues across the country use cloth or rubber balls.
​
A typical dodgeball game is usually played on a volleyball court, basketball court, fenced area, trampoline arena, or outdoor sand court (beach volleyball court).
​
Dodgeball Canada recognizes rule variations among its member leagues across Canada but does not enforce one particular rule set. That being said, Dodgeball Canada has adopted and uses the rules laid out by the World Dodgeball Federation (WDBF) for the Dodgeball Canada National Championships.

if delivered personally to the person to whom it is to be given or if delivered to such person's address as shown in the records of the Corporation or in the case of notice to a director to the latest address as shown in the last notice that was sent by the Corporation in accordance with section 128 (Notice of directors) or 134 (Notice of change of directors);

if sent to such person by telephonic, electronic or other communication facility at such person's recorded address for that purpose; or
if provided in the form of an electronic document in accordance with Part 17 of the Act.
A notice so delivered shall be deemed to have been given when it is delivered personally or to the recorded address as aforesaid; a notice so mailed shall be deemed to have been given when deposited in a post office or public letter box; and a notice so sent by any means of transmitted or recorded communication shall be deemed to have been given when dispatched or delivered to the appropriate communication company or agency or its representative for dispatch.

The accidental omission to give any notice to any member, director, officer, member of a committee of the board or public accountant, or the non-receipt of any notice by any such person where the Corporation has provided notice in accordance with the by-laws or any error in any notice not affecting its substance shall not invalidate any action taken at any meeting to which the notice pertained or otherwise founded on such notice.
39. Mediation and Arbitration
Disputes or controversies among members, directors, officers, committee members, or volunteers of the Corporation are as much as possible to be resolved in accordance with mediation and/or arbitration as provided in the section on dispute resolution mechanism of this by-law.
40. Dispute Resolution Mechanism
In the event that a dispute or controversy among members, directors, officers, committee members or volunteers of the Corporation arising out of or related to the articles or by-laws, or out of any aspect of the operations of the Corporation is not resolved in private meetings between the parties then without prejudice to or in any other way derogating from the rights of the members, directors, officers, committee members, employees or volunteers of the Corporation as set out in the articles, by-laws or the Act, and as an alternative to such person instituting a law suit or legal action, such dispute or controversy shall be settled by a process of dispute resolution as follows:
The dispute or controversy shall first be submitted to a panel of mediators whereby the one party appoints one mediator, the other party (or if applicable the board of the Corporation) appoints one mediator, and the two mediators so appointed jointly appoint a third mediator. The three mediators will then meet with the parties in question in an attempt to mediate a resolution between the parties.
The number of mediators may be reduced from three to one or two upon agreement of the parties.
If the parties are not successful in resolving the dispute through mediation, then the parties agree that the dispute shall be settled by arbitration before a single arbitrator, who shall not be any one of the mediators referred to above, in accordance with the provincial or territorial legislation governing domestic arbitrations in force in the province or territory where the registered office of the Corporation is situated or as otherwise agreed upon by the parties to the dispute. The parties agree that all proceedings relating to arbitration shall be kept confidential and there shall be no disclosure of any kind. The decision of the arbitrator shall be final and binding and shall not be subject to appeal on a question of fact, law or mixed fact and law.
All costs of the mediators appointed in accordance with this section shall be borne equally by the parties to the dispute or the controversy. All costs of the arbitrators appointed in accordance with this section shall be borne by such parties as may be determined by the arbitrators.
41. Removal of a Board Member
A board member may be removed from the Board for any of the following:
Violating the Dodgeball Canada Code of Conduct
Failure to attend official Dodgeball Canada Board meetings
Harassment or bullying of Dodgeball Canada Board members
Harassment or bullying of Dodgeball Canada members
Breach of confidentiality
Criminal activity
Misappropriating Dodgeball Canada funds
Discriminatory or abusive language or behaviour
Other behaviour or communication deemed damaging to Dodgeball Canada or its members
Any complaint arising therefrom will result in opening a case to be investigated jointly with the President and the VP, Administration, who will present the background along with a motion to the Board of Directors. The Board will then act on the motion in accordance to its policies and procedures.
The subject of the complaint has the right to know the case to be met, along with all information and recommendation to be presented to the Board. The subject will be given reasonable opportunity to present their position to the investigating party.
If the subject is the President or VP, Administration, the aforementioned will recuse themselves from the process and the Board will choose 2 other representatives to investigate.
42. Appeals
The decision of the Board can only be appealed if an error was made by the investigating party or if information was intentionally omitted when presenting the case to the Board. The subject is responsible for demonstrating this occurrence, and must do so within 30 days of notification by the Board representative.
43. Resigning Board Members
A Board member who chooses to resign must do through a written letter or email to the President. The President is required to acknowledge the resignation, also through a written letter or email, within 7 business days. Should a member’s resignation be given informally or the member chooses to cease attending Dodgeball Canada meetings, the Board may employ the procedure outlined in ‘Removal of a Board Member’. The resignation date must be suggested in the resignation letter, but remains at the discretion of the Board. As a matter of courtesy, Board members are asked to give as much notice as possible when resigning.
44. By-laws and Effective Date
Subject to the articles, the board of directors may, by resolution, make, amend or repeal any by-laws that regulate the activities or affairs of the Corporation. Any such by-law, amendment or repeal shall be effective from the date of the resolution of directors until the next meeting of members where it may be confirmed, rejected or amended by the members by ordinary resolution. If the by-law, amendment or repeal is confirmed or confirmed as amended by the members it remains effective in the form in which it was confirmed. The by-law, amendment or repeal ceases to have effect if it is not submitted to the members at the next meeting of members or if it is rejected by the members at the meeting.
This section does not apply to a by-law that requires a special resolution of the members according to subsection 197(1) (fundamental change) of the Act because such by-law amendments or repeals are only effective when confirmed by members.
