Presenter: Benjamin Miller, Community Legal Education Ontario

Ontario’s Not-for-profit Corporations Act (ONCA) was proclaimed on October 19th, 2021. Nonprofits have until October 18th, 2024 to update their bylaws and letters patent to comply with ONCA.

In this 5-hour working session, participants will work through their own bylaws and letters patent using a special workbook to identify what they might want or need to change in order to comply with ONCA. Lunch break will be taken between 12:00 – 12:30 pm.

Preparation: Participants are advised to review their governing documents ahead of time to be somewhat familiar with the layout and content. Participants must bring a digital or physical copy of their bylaws and (preferably) letters patent.

This session is for: senior leaders, board members, and anyone involved in the corporate governance of organizations already incorporated under Ontario’s Corporations Act or a special Act.

This session is not for:

● organizations that are not themselves incorporated but part of a larger organization or government,

● organizations incorporated under Canada Not-for-Profit Corporations Act,

● organizations incorporated under Co-operative Corporations Act, or

● other statutes outside of Ontario

Suggestion: Register 2 or more org reps to work on tasks together.
