Oct 2019 Charity & NFP Law Update
A Working Group of the Uniform Law Conference of Canada (the “ULCC”) released the “Consultation Paper on a Uniform Informal Public Appeals and Crowdfunding Act” (the “Consultation Paper”), in September 2019. As its title implies, the Consultation Paper includes a proposed Uniform Informal Public Appeals and Crowdfunding Act (the “Proposed Model Act”). The Working Group is seeking comment by January 15, 2020 on the Proposed Model Act which, if adopted by the ULCC, would replace the Uniform Informal Public Appeals Act previously adopted by the ULCC in 2011 (the “2011 Model Act”). The ULCC is a conference that brings together appointees from all the governments of Canada, academics, members of the bench and bar, as well as representatives from law reform commissions or similar bodies, for the purpose of promoting harmonization among the legislation of the provinces and territories.
