Chapter Governance Materials - Chapter Incorporation

The BCPVPA’s recent work on chapter governance began with our support of the incorporated BCPVPA chapters who were transitioning from the former Society Act (B.C.) to the Societies Act(B.C.). During this process, we recognized that other BCPVPA chapters may be interested in the benefits of incorporation as a B.C. society and in updating their current Constitution & Bylaws to reflect modern governance practices. Accordingly, we prepared the enclosed Incorporation Guide and template Model Constitution and Bylaws and accompanying User Guide.

The materials that accompany this memorandum may be of assistance in incorporating your association under the Societies Act or updating your association’s Constitution and Bylaws if your association is already incorporated. These materials are provided for general information purposes only, and readers should not rely on them as legal advice or as a substitute for legal advice tailored to the circumstances of the particular association. We recommend that you obtain independent legal advice as may be appropriate in preparing appropriate documents for your association.
