Governance

How we run the club, in the open.

Coast Sirens is a not-for-profit member club of BC Artistic Swimming. We publish our bylaws, policies, board, and AGM minutes — that's a BCAS membership requirement, and it's also how we want to operate.

Affiliations

We sit under two governing bodies.

Provincial governing body

BC Artistic Swimming (BCAS)

Coast Sirens is a member club of BCAS. BCAS's Club Operations Policy sets the floor for our governance: incorporation, board composition, finance controls, mandatory disclosures, and adopted policies.

National sport organization

Canada Artistic Swimming (CAS)

The national governing body, responsible for sanctioned competitions, the National Coaching Certification Program, and Canada Artistic Swimming's national policies — many of which BCAS has adopted on behalf of member clubs.
