ONCA

Members of non-profit corporations have an essential role in the decision-making process. They can pass two resolutions - ordinary and special - per the Ontario Not-for-Profit Corporations Act (ONCA).

Ordinary Resolutions                

Ordinary resolutions, detailed in ONCA sections 1 and 59, are the backbone of routine decision-making within a corporation. Members approve these resolutions by securing a majority vote at meetings or through unanimous agreement. Public benefit corporations, including charitable and non-charitable entities, are subject to specific criteria outlined in ONCA section 1.

Special Resolutions

Special resolutions, characterized by their impact on significant changes, require a higher approval threshold. To pass, they need the backing of at least two-thirds of votes cast at members' meetings or unanimous agreement from all voting members (ONCA sections 1 and 59).
