Difference between revisions of "Preparing for Transition under the New Societies Act"

To assemble this document, the transition package described in the [[https://wiki.clicklaw.bc.ca/index.php?title=Preparing_for_Transition_under_the_New_Societies_Act#Optional_preliminary_step:_Order_a_transition_package|optional preliminary step above]] can be very helpful. For societies that use the model bylaws in Schedule B of the old ''Society Act'', a [http://www2.gov.bc.ca/assets/gov/employment-business-and-economic-development/business-management/permits-licences-and-registration/corporations/societies/schedule_b_bylaws.docx Word version of the Schedule B Bylaws] available on the Corporate Registry website can be used as a starting point to assemble your society’s consolidated bylaws. You will need to update that document with any amendments to the society’s bylaws that were filed with the Corporate Registry.

For any provisions in the society’s constitution other than the society’s name and purposes, move those provisions to the society’s consolidated bylaws. You can add them to a new part at the end of the bylaws under a separate heading such as "Provisions from the Society’s Pre-Transition Constitution" or "Former Constitutional Provisions".
