In 2010 we moved from a geographic-representational model, to a skill-based board structure. Along with this, voting power was given to each club, where clubs get between 1 & 4 votes at the AGM. The number of votes a club gets is dependent on the number of registered members the club has. This new structure allowed us to elect an executive which was more efficient, while still allowing members across the province to have a voice, and participate in various working committees.
Boxing Ontario Executive members are elected at an annual general meeting. All members are invited to attend, and voting is done by the registered delegates.
Financially, Boxing Ontario functions through club and member registration, fundraising and in large part through the support of the Ministry of Sport.
Operationally, Boxing Ontario owes a debt of gratitude to all the volunteers who give freely of their time and energies to keep the programs running smoothly.
Boxing Canada, also known as the Canadian Amateur Boxing Association (CABA), is the national organization responsible for the development and promotion of Olympic-style boxing across the country. The association is comprised of one territorial and ten provincial associations.
