Our Bylaws and Policies
As a member-based network, BCCIC’s operations are guided by a set of organizational bylaws as well as a code of ethics.
Organizational Bylaws
BCCIC’s organizational bylaws, last updated in 2019, provide the guide by which our organization and network function. We encourage all members and prospective members to familiarize themselves with them at their leisure.
Code of Ethics
As a member of the Cooperation Canada BCCIC complies with and promotes a national Code of Ethics and Operational Standards. Last revised in 2025, the Cooperation Canada Code of Ethics outlines a set of operational standards, which includes a compliance procedure and guides practices. BCCIC encourages members of our network to read through these guidelines and comply with the outlined operational practices and procedures.
Protection from Sexual Exploitation and Abuse (PSEA) Policy
BCCIC aims to cultivate a positive work environment free of sexual exploitation, abuse, harassment and discrimination where everyone, including our Board, staff members, contractors, consultants, volunteers, partners and members, feels safe, supported and respected and are aware of their rights and responsibilities in relation to the prevention and reporting of sexual harassment, exploitation and abuse.
Many organizations, especially those working within humanitarian and international development contexts, outline how they work to prevent and respond to instances of sexual exploitation and abuse in their Protection from Sexual Exploitation and Abuse (PSEA) policy.
BCCIC has created resources to supplement our PSEA policy in order to support organizations looking to create or strengthen their own efforts to protect their teams and partners from sexual exploitation and abuse.
Annual Reports & Financial Statements
Our annual reports highlight the best of the best from the previous year, share what we’ve been up to and where we’re headed, and contain our financial statements.
