I live in a co-op and the co-op's by-laws state that I cannot care for more than 5 children including my own. This is apparently an old rule from when the co-op was first started in the early 80's. According to our current Ontario law I am able to care for 5 children plus my own. I want to know if my co-op is even able to have a rule that supersedes an Ontario law? If they cannot do this, where would I go about finding documentation to prove to my co-op that this rule needs to be changed?

Thanks for any help
