Bring Your Own Bylaws (BYOB): A One-Day Sprint

Bring Your Own Bylaws (BYOB): A One-Day Sprint

with Benjamin Miller, Ontario Nonprofit Network (ONN)

If you’ve been side-eyeing your bylaws wondering whether they’re ONCA-compliant… or just plain outdated… this is the workshop your board has been praying for.

The Ontario Not-for-profit Corporations Act (ONCA) requires nonprofits to update their bylaws and letters patent to meet the new rules — and for many organizations, that’s easier said than done. Enter Benjamin Miller, ONN’s resident legal wizard, whose specialty is making governance feel less like punishment and more like empowerment.

In this hands-on, one-day working session, Benjamin will guide participants step-by-step through their own bylaws and letters patent using a dedicated workbook designed to help you:

• Identify what must change to comply with ONCA

• Spot opportunities to strengthen your governance structures

• Align your bylaws with your mission, values, and organizational reality

• Leave with a clear roadmap for finalizing your updated documents

This isn’t theory. This isn’t “someday.” This is roll up your sleeves, BYO-Bylaws, and fix it today.

Perfect for:

• Senior leaders

• Board members

• Governance committees

• Anyone responsible for keeping their organization compliant, functional, and future-ready

If you’re incorporated under Ontario’s Corporations Act or a special Act, this session is your chance to move from “We should update our bylaws…” to “We actually did it.”

Ready to get compliant — and maybe even excited about it?
