MANO is pleased to part­ner with Com­mu­ni­ty Legal Edu­ca­tion Ontario (CLEO) in order to deliv­er two work­ing ses­sions on ONCA com­pli­ance. Mark your cal­en­dars for Thurs­day, Sep­tem­ber 21 and Thurs­day, Sep­tem­ber 28 from 11 AM to 1 PM ET. These ses­sions are com­ple­men­tary to each oth­er so ensure you can attend both.

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 these work­ing ses­sions, par­tic­i­pants will work through their bylaws and let­ters patent and a spe­cial work­book to iden­ti­fy what they might want or need to change in order to com­ply with ONCA.

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.

These ses­sions are 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. One or more rep­re­sen­ta­tives from your orga­ni­za­tion are wel­come to attend. Reg­is­tra­tion instruc­tions to come.
