Schedule F: Woodsworth Code of Conduct

Schedule F: Woodsworth Code of Conduct, Organizational Bylaw

Applicable to all members, volunteers and staff.

Under Ontario’s Human Rights Code, every person has a right to equal treatment in the provision of services and facilities, occupation of accommodation, contracts and in employment. Under the Occupational Health and Safety Act, all employers are required to have a workplace harassment policy, program, to provide information, instruction and to protect workers from workplace harassment.

Woodsworth is committed to respectful, equitable service delivery and employment practices.

Woodsworth will not tolerate, ignore, or condone discrimination or harassment and is committed to promoting respectful relationships and inclusion. All members are responsible for respecting the dignity and rights of fellow members and staff.

Members who volunteer to serve as elected committee or board members have a particular duty to inform themselves of the Human Rights Code and non-Code harassment issues.

I acknowledge that failure to demonstrate compliance with anti-harassment and Human Rights Code principles may result in removal from elected office.

I have read the relevant Woodsworth policies and sign this undertaking to uphold respect for all members, staff and outside agencies when representing Woodsworth.

Long-term Guest Agreement

This agreement is for non-members who live with members in Woodsworth.  The Board must approve long-term guest status.

Once approved by the Board of Directors, the new long-term guest and all members in the household must sign the  Long-Term Guest agreement with the co-op. It must be witnessed by staff on behalf of the co-op.

Management is the contact for long-term guest status.

Requesting long-term guest status:

The LTG  agreement is only signed by approved Long-Term Guests (LTGs), members in their household, and witnessed by Management.

First, members should make a written request to the board of directors to approve their guest as a long-term guest in their unit.

Please use the long-term guest request form (in the Photocopy Room and on the website.) Return it to Management so staff can make sure that the application is on a Board meeting agenda for approval.

The request must be signed by all co-op members in the household. The proposed guest must sign the request as well.

You can  compare your long-term guest agreement with that sample to ensure that it was done properly.

Be sure to get a copy of your completed and witnessed agreement. You will need that if you decide to apply for membership in Woodsworth.

Application form: Request for long-term guest status

This form is used by Woodsworth to apply for long-term guest status for non-member residents in your household.

Those who are aged 16-19 do not have to apply for long-term guest status. They should apply for membership though.

The request has two steps:

– Submit the completed application form to the Management. The manager will put the request on an agenda for Board approval

– Sign the Long-Term Guest agreement in the office, witnessed by staff after approval by the Board.

Keep a copy of the completed form and the Long-Term Guest agreement for future reference.

It may take some weeks for the Board to review your application and for staff to notify you of the outcome. (The Board normally meets twice a month.)

Don’t forget – after approval of long-term guest status, all members and the new long-term guest (LTG) must sign the Long-Term Guest agreement. Otherwise the process is not complete. Make an appointment with staff.
