Nonprofit AGMs in Alberta: One size doesn't fit all

Not all Annual General Meetings are created equal! If your nonprofit operates in Alberta, your obligations for your AGM depend on whether you’re incorporated under the Alberta Societies Act, the Alberta Companies Act (Part 9), or the Canada Not-for-Profit Corporations Act.

Some questions you might have about your AGM include: Should you hold a virtual or an in-person meeting? What about hybrid meetings where some people are in the room and some people are attending virtually? How should voting happen?  What do you have to do to be prepared?
