Any notice (which term includes any communication or document), other than notice
of a meeting of members or a meeting of the board of directors, to be given (which
term includes sent, delivered or served) pursuant to the Act, the articles, the bylaws                                                                                          or otherwise to a member, director, officer or member of a committee of the
board or to the public accountant shall be sufficiently given:
. 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 a committee of the board or public accountant, or the non-receipt of any notice by

action taken at any meeting to which the notice pertained or otherwise founded on
such notice.

38.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.

39.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.
