Bring Your Own Bylaws: Working Through the Transition to ONCA

Wednesday, February 22, 2023
9:30 AM – 2:20 PM

Free hands-on workshop for members only. Participants are expected to bring their bylaws and letters patent.

Is your home ready for October 18, 2024? That’s the deadline for nonprofits to update their bylaws and letters patent so that they are in compliance with the Ontario Not-for-Profit Corporations Act (ONCA), proclaimed in October 2021.

This special working session, led by a lawyer who specializes in ONCA will walk you through your documents and the steps you will need to take to ensure your bylaws are ONCA compliant. Perfect for anyone involved in governance for organizations incorporated under Ontario’s Corporations Act or a special Act.

Participants will:

• Understand how the ONCA impacts nonprofit governing documents and what it requires for these documents to be compliant.
• Identify what your organization must or would like to change in your bylaws and letter patent through guidance by the facilitator and a special workbook designed to take you through the process step by step.
• Have your questions answered as they arise and benefit from answers to questions raised by other participants.
