Dear  Miss  Blaglaivemattas;  

Thank you for your question.   In any event, we offer you the opportunity to provide our services to people in your, our  community.

The ONCA does not relate to your group as you are incorporated under the OBCA or the CBCA but not under the OCA.   Your group is allowed to raise share capital but groups  registered under the OCA that must concert with the provisions of the ONCA are quite different.  They do not have share capital.  Howard insists you can be referred to as a non profit corporation.  You can say you are a non profit organisation or a non profit corporation in the sense that you are regular corporation with non profit activities and a formal non profit declaration.

The Business Corporations Act (Ontario);

Governs Ontario for-profit corporations formed, continued or amalgamated under this statute. This statute covers, among other things, incorporation of the corporation, its capacity and powers, management as well as matters relating to shareholders and various corporate transactions, such as amendments to the corporation's articles and by-laws, amalgamations, continuances and dissolution.

See Business Corporations Act, R.S.O. 1990, c. B.16.

The Ontario Corporations Act (OCA);

 was historically the primary incorporation statute for non-for-profit corporations. The Ontario Not-for-Profit Corporations Act (ONCA) came into force on October 19, 2021, and replaced Part III of the OCA. The ONCA is now the primary incorporation statute for non-for-profit corporations.

See Corporations Act, R.S.O. 1990, c. C.38.

ONCA is for groups that were previously registered under the OCA and that do not have share capital as not registered under the OBCA or the CBCA.  

We have explained this to you.  You are respected.  

 .   

You do not  have to comply with ONCA legislation; therefore.  It is non relevant legislation.  The group will not dissolve their formal registration.    

Please see the law in order to verify as attached confirming that ONCA does not relate to the Heritage Singers Canada Inc.  Now that this question is resolved, lets talk about governance.   

Governance.  

Every corporation needs to complete  certain regular yearly procedures that include:

1, An AGM Annual General meeting; 

2. An annual return; and

3.  An annual tax return if there is sufficient activity and earnings to file such a return.   

Applying For Grants as a community musical group.

Your group can apply for grants in any event whether you are registered as a  non profit or as a for profit corporation that makes its non profit declaration in its tax filings.   

Please send us a donation as agreed for our time.  

Please contact us as we would like you to be a director with us.    

Thank you.
