Apply for more time to hold your society's AGM

When are societies required to hold an AGM?

Societies are required to hold an annual general meeting (AGM) within 4 months of their fiscal year-end (Regulation 12(2) of the Societies Regulation).

If your society is not able to hold an AGM within 4 months of your fiscal year-end, you can apply for more time to hold your AGM.

You can only do this if: 

• you incorporated after April 1, 2021 (Regulation 33 of the Societies Regulation); or
• you haven't done this in the last 4 years (75(7) of the Societies Regulation).

You cannot extend your scheduled AGM more than 7 months from your society’s fiscal year-end. 

How to apply for more time to hold your AGM

To apply to for more time to hold your AGM, you need to fill out a form that gets submitted to the registrar. In that form you'll need to: 

• describe efforts you made to hold your AGM in time;
• describe why you are not able to hold the AGM on or before the usual 4-month deadline;
• indicate the date you think you’ll be able to hold your AGM; and
• send written notice of this application and of the date you think you’ll be able to hold your AGM to every member of your society (Regulation 13 of the Societies Regulation). 

If you find you consistently cannot hold your AGM in time, you may want to consider changing your society’s fiscal year-end.
