Charity & Not-for-Profit Law

The Ottawa Region Charity & Not-for-Profit Law Seminar is designed to assist charities and not-for-profit organizations in understanding developing trends in the law in order to reduce unnecessary exposure to legal liability.

The Charity & Not-for-Profit Law Seminar, with its related Church & Charity Law Seminar held annually in Toronto since 1994, is presented by Carters Professional Corporation, a law firm with offices in Ottawa and in the Toronto area, experienced in advising charities and not-for-profit organizations across Canada, as well as internationally. The firm will be assisted by various expert guest speakers, including Cathy Hawara, Director General of the Charities Directorate of CRA, and Kenneth Goodman from the Office of the Public Guardian &Trustee of Ontario.

The seminar, to be held on Wednesday, February 16, 2011, at the Arlington Woods Free Methodist Church, 225 McClellan Road, Nepean, Ontario, will begin at 8:30 a.m. and end at 3:30 p.m. Complimentary coffee, tea and muffins will be served at 7:45 a.m., as well as during a mid-morning break.

The early registration fee of $25.00 per person has been kept to a minimum in order that as many charities and not-for-profits can attend as possible. This fee helps to underwrite the cost of the facilities, coffee, tea, muffins, and handout materials, but does not include lunch. A catered lunch can be purchased at the Church for $8.00, or ordered in advance using the attached or online registration form. Presentations will be in "PowerPoint" format and summary handouts will be provided.

The Arlington Woods Free Methodist Church is located at 225 McClellan Road, Nepean, Ontario.
