All existing societies in BC are required to “transition” within a two-year period from when the new ''Societies Act'' came into effect on November 28, 2016. Transitioning involves filing an application online. Here are the steps a society should take to '''prepare''' for filing the transition application: | |||
==Optional preliminary step: Order a transition package== | |||
To file the transition application, you will need to submit an electronic version of the society�s constitution and consolidated bylaws. To put this material together, you may want to order a transition package from the Corporate Registry for $40. This step is optional. A transition package for a society includes certified copies of any documents that the Registry has on file for the society, including the original constitution, the original bylaws, and any special resolutions amending the society�s constitution or bylaws. You can use the filings to create complete, consolidated versions of the constitution and bylaws (see steps 3 and 4 below). You can order a transition package online. | |||
