The Mabel League is registered as a not-for-profit society and thus governed by the BC Societies Act. As such the league must have certain guiding documents in place, have an elected board to run the league, hold an annual AGM, and more. These are legal requirements of being registered.
Additional league rules are in place due to the nature of the league itself. Being a space for queer folks means that intention and care have been given to setting clear expectations for all league members and spectators alike around providing a safe place for our community to gather and play.
