A resource paper compiling various articles from Charity Law Updates and Charity Law Bulletins over the last 12 months, available at charitylaw.ca, was presented at the Law Society of Upper Canada’s 20th Annual Estates and Trusts Summit on October 17, 2017. The paper highlighted a number of legislative and common law developments that impact how charities, as well as not-for-profit corporations, operate in Canada. The purpose of the paper is to provide a brief overview of some of the more important developments in the last year, including changes introduced through the 2017 Federal Budget, new publications from the Charities Directorate of the CRA, corporate updates under the Canada Not-forProfit Corporations Act, the OCA, the ONCA, and the CAA, as well as other federal and provincial initiatives and recent court decisions affecting charities.
