Ontario’s Not-for-profit Corporations Act (ONCA) was proclaimed on October 19th, 2021. Nonprofits will have three years to update their bylaws and letters patent to comply with ONCA.
This webinar will walk through:
-
What is new in the ONCA
-
Steps nonprofits need to take to transition to the ONCA
-
How Community Legal Education Ontario (CLEO)’s free resources can help you create ONCA compliant bylaws from scratch or adapt your current bylaws
As part of this webinar we have invited local nonprofit organizations who are well on their way to compliance in order to share their learnings and provide some tips.
This session is not for:
- Organizations thinking about incorporating,
- Organizations incorporated under Canada Not-for-Profit Corporations Act,
