Changes to the Ontario Co-operative Corporations Act were enacted on October 1, 2023. During the pandemic, co-ops had temporary permissions to hold virtual member meetings and vote electronically. The updated Act makes these changes permanent.

CHF Canada and sector lawyers have drafted a new version of the Model Organizational By-law. We recommend every co-op in Ontario amend its by-laws to reflect the new legislative changes and other updates.

Register now to join us as we take you through the updating process. At the end of the presentation, lawyer Kiel Ardal from Lewis and Collyer will answer your questions on electronic processes.

Calling all co-op directors in our Housing Services Act (HSA) co-ops. As you know, your co-op, administered by municipal service managers, is governed by the HSA and its regulations. Regulation changes were introduced in March 2022 to establish a path forward for HSA co-ops as they reach their end of mortgage. This fall, CHF Canada is hosting two webinars highlighting the latest information to help you and your co-op prepare to negotiate with your service manager. Every HSA co-op needs to make plans for its future, and CHF Canada and Ontario’s regional federations are committed to helping co-ops through the process. These webinars are part of this support. Come find out what you need to know to ensure your co-op’s success.

Topics include:
Planning; Financial Plans and the EOM budget; 10-year agreements; Getting the reports your co-op needs; Service Agreement best practices and key considerations.
