Good Roads has been reviewing its governance structures to strengthen indigenous representation, particularly in response to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s Calls to Action and growing awareness of the importance of indigenous partnership in organizational leadership.
The Board of Directors of the Good Roads is proposing a revision to the Constitution. The following is a summary of the proposed amendments:
CREATION OF A FIRST NATIONS’ ZONE
To create a new First Nations’ Zone, Section 12 of the Constitution must be amended to include a First Nations’ Zone in addition to the City of Toronto Zone, the Southwest Zone, the Southeast Zone, the South Central Zone and the Northern Zone. It was recommended that two seats be created within the new First Nations’ Zone. The number of directors on the Board will increase to 17 individuals.
The two new First Nations Zone representatives would be seated as part of the 2026-2027 Board of Directors.
