The RDCK Board of Directors has adopted many bylaws and policies that govern and support RDCK operations within the different Electoral Areas. While we make every effort to ensure the most accurate versions of bylaws are available on our website, we cannot guarantee the accuracy of the information provided. Some of the bylaws have been consolidated for convenience and should not be relied on in place of the official versions.
