The Not-for-Profit Corporations Act, 2010 (“ONCA”) came into force on October 19, 2021. Not-for-profit corporations incorporated in Ontario will have a three year transition period to make changes to their governing documents to comply with the ONCA. During the transition period, the ONCA will apply where the not-for-profit corporation’s existing governing documents are silent.

As not-for-profit corporations prepare for member Annual Meetings, directors should be aware of new and different requirements in the ONCA. 

This presentation covered:

  • Which ONCA rules apply for Annual Meetings?
  • New member proposal rights
  • Changes in proxy requirements
  • Updates to director election procedures
  • Obligations related to auditors
