Amendment by by-law

Any non-profit legal person constituted pursuant to Part III of the Companies Act may adopt a by-law respecting the amendment of the following information:

• its name;
• the address of its head office;
• the number of directors.

The directors must adopt the by-law and at least two-thirds of the members present at a special general meeting convened for that purpose must ratify it.

The Registraire des entreprises will file a notice confirming the change requested in the enterprise register.

To determine the fees applicable to the adoption of a by-law respecting the amendment of information, please consult the fee schedule.

Name change

When a name change is proposed, the by-law must be accompanied by a name search report of the names used and declared in the enterprise register.

You must check if the name you have chosen is available. In order to do so, you may

• use the Produire une demande de réservation de nom online service to file an online name reservation application.
  The Registraire des entreprises will send you confirmation of the name reservation along with a search report; or
• search the register yourself for free and print the result.
