member approval is required. The corporation must
replace its letters patent, supplementary letters pat-
ent (if any) and bylaws with new charter documents
which comply with the New Act. The corporation
must submit articles of continuance, forms con-
fi rming the initial registered offi ce and fi rst directors
of the corporation, and a name search confi rmation.
Bylaws which are in compliance with the New Act
can be submitted either as part of the initial package,
or within 12 months of continuance following ap-
proval by the members.
Following a successful transition under the New
Act, all registered charities (including those who
have not amended their purposes and even those
who have obtained pre-approval from the Canada
Revenue Agency) must submit the certifi cate of con-
tinuance, articles of continuance, various fi ling forms
as well as a copy of the current bylaws and statement
of purposes to the Canada Revenue Agency.
As we're down to a matter of months before the
transition deadline of October 17, 2014, any corpor-
ation incorporated under the Old Act should turn
their attention to their continuance under the New
Act, so as to avoid an involuntary dissolution.
