The Ontario Not-for-Profit Corporations Act (“ONCA”) was brought into force on October 19, 2021. ONCA applies to all non-share capital corporations that were previously under the Ontario Corporations Act (“OCA”) and are now under ONCA. What should your ONCA corporation do? There are a number of options, and we will discuss them in this webinar, including making changes to bring your non-profit into compliance with ONCA and another viable option for an Ontario non-profit corporation is to transfer to the federal jurisdiction by continuing under the Canada Not-for-profit Corporations Act (“CNCA”). The key thing to remember is that most Ontario non-profits have only until October 18, 2024, and that is coming up soon.
This webinar is presented by Mark Blumberg, a lawyer at the law firm Blumbergs in Toronto, who works almost exclusively with Canadian non-profits and registered charities on compliance issues. Mark is also the editor of www.CanadianCharityLaw.ca – a Canadian charity law website dedicated to news about the Canadian charitable sector as well as legal and ethical issues for Canadian charities operating in Canada or abroad.
