Convention 2026: Proposed Constitutional Amendments Form for locals

HEU is holding its biennial convention November 1 to 6, 2026 at the Vancouver Convention Centre.

Convention is the supreme policy-making body of the union, which democratically determines HEU’s priorities and course of action over the next two years.

During formal convention proceedings, governed by the HEU Constitution and By-Laws, delegates debate and vote on proposed resolutions and constitutional amendments brought forward by HEU locals.

CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENTS

Constitutional amendments change the language of the HEU Constitution and By-Laws, the rules that govern our union.
Carefully review the sections in the HEU Constitution and By-Laws you want to change. (read more about the constitution).
On the webform, specify the exact language you want adopted. If adopted by convention, this language will appear in the revised HEU Constitution and By-Laws following convention.
On the webform, also clearly state why the local membership wants this change.
Do not combine different concepts or changes to different constitutional provisions in one motion.

All proposed constitutional amendments from HEU locals must be adopted by majority vote at a local meeting with quorum.

You can read all constitutional amendments and resolutions passed at the 2024 HEU convention, including those referred to the Provincial Executive, below.
