As we have noted before the Cutting Unnecessary Red Tape Act, 2017 (Bill 154) has passed and today it received Royal Assent.  It will make a number of changes to the current Ontario Corporations Act and also the upcoming Ontario Not-For-Profit Corporations (ONCA) which will come into force in a few years.  The Ontario Government position has not changed in that the Government has said that it would provide at least 2 years’ notice before ONCA is proclaimed. 

Here is a link to the Bill:

With the changes to the OCA and ONCA Ontario non-profit organizations may wish to consider what if any impact these changes will have on their organization.
