Resolutions are acted upon once adopted by a vote at the highest level concerned.
If a resolution is forwarded to and accepted by the Provincial Resolutions Committee, passed at Provincial Convention, and directed to the Provincial Government – the Resolution is posted on the CWL Provincial website.
If a resolution is forwarded to and accepted by the Provincial Resolutions Committee, passed at Provincial Convention, and directed to the Federal Government – the resolution is forwarded to the National Resolutions Committee. When a resolution is forwarded to the National Resolutions Committee, and accepted, it is then presented on the convention floor. If not passed by delegates on the National Convention floor, it is no longer a resolution; however it may be directed to National standing committee chairpersons for the purpose of educating members.
If passed by delegates on the National Convention floor, it becomes a League Resolution and is posted on the CWL National website. We do not duplicate information that is on the National CWL website, but will provide links to information on League resolutions.
