Ontario Not-for-Profit Corporations Act (ONCA)
The new guidelines for ONCA will provide Ontario not-for-profit corporations, including charitable corporations, with a modern legal framework to meet the needs of today’s not-for-profit sector. It sets out how they are created, governed, and dissolved.
In Brief
As of October 19, 2021, ONCA is in force and automatically applies to all Ontario not-for-profit corporations. Existing not-for-profit corporations, previously governed under the Corporations Act, have three years to make any necessary changes to their incorporating and other documents to bring them into conformity with ONCA.
​
As such we will be reviewing our bylaws, director provisions, and membership guidelines to ensure they are in line with the act and are currently relevant. A separate meeting will be called for members to review and approve the changes.
