remains the legislation of choice for not-for-profit organizations in BC. The new Societies Act (the "Act") was driven by a growing need to modernize the regulatory scheme governing societies in BC. On April 22, 2015, the Act received third reading at the
BC legislature. The replacement legislation will likely come into force within a year.</span><span style="font-size:11.5pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#606060"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

qualifications that all directors of societies must meet. Among other things, directors must have no recent convictions for fraud, be bankrupt and be (with some exceptions) be at least 18 years of age. A director who does not meet these qualifications will
be required to resign. A society is free to set out additional qualifications in its bylaws. The Act also expressly allows for "ex officio" directors – that is, directors who become directors because of a particular attribute or position they have or hold,
and not as a result of an election.</span><span style="font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#3D85C6"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

societies are well aware of the threshold for special resolutions, currently set at 75% or more of votes cast. The Act reduces the threshold to pass a special resolution at a meeting from 75% to 66%. However, it also allows a society set a higher threshold
for special resolutions, up to unanimous approval! This flexibility for special resolutions can be used to offset the fact that under the Act, there can be no unalterable provisions of a society's constitution. Upon transitioning a society under the Act, currently
unalterable provisions will become alterable and must be moved from a society's constitution into its bylaws.</span><span style="font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#3D85C6"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

been able to requisition a special meeting for a specific purpose, provided that at least 10% sign the requisition. The Act will add to this, creating a right for members to add specific issues to the agenda of an existing members' meeting. A "member proposal"
must be added to the agenda if the proposal is signed at least 5% of the society's voting members. A society's board of directors have the discretion to reject the proposal if it is substantially similar to an issue that has already been proposed at an annual
general meeting in the past two years.</span><span style="font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#3D85C6"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

that did not exist under the former legislation - it differentiates between publicly funded societies and "member funded" societies. A member funded society is a society that is funded primarily by its own members to carry on activities for the benefit of
its members. Due to the private nature of its funding, the Act outlines relaxed standards regarding corporate governance, financial disclosure, and distribution of assets upon dissolution for member funded societies. Sports clubs and professional organizations
are anticipated as the types of organizations intended to fit into this new category, although others may meet the criteria. A publicly funded society is a society that obtains funding from the public or government in excess of a monetary threshold to be prescribed
by regulation. Registered charities, student societies and hospital societies cannot be member funded societies.</span><span style="font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#3D85C6"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

of a "senior manager", which is any individual that has been appointed by the directors to manage the activities or affairs of the society. A senior manager may be an employee, contractor or volunteer. The Act imposes certain duties on all senior managers
(including the duty to disclose a conflict of interest) but also provides rules on indemnification, insurance, and limitation of liability for such persons. The purpose of regulating senior managers is to decrease the potential for mismanagement.</span><span style="font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#3D85C6"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

a society to disclose the remuneration, if any, paid to its directors and to its ten highest paid employees and contractors earning over an amount to be prescribed by regulation. This disclosure must be made in a society's annual financial statements, which
are available to society members and to the public. To counterbalance any privacy concerns, the names of the directors, employees and contractors need not be included in the financial statements. This disclosure of remuneration requirement is inapplicable

<strong><span style="font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif"">Performing Arts BC (formerly the BC Association of Performing Arts Festivals)</span></strong>, is a not-for-profit charity which acts as the umbrella organization for 34 regional performing arts festivals
throughout the province. These festivals are as diverse in size and scope as the communities they represent. Over 32,000 young musicians, dancers and dramatic artists, ranging in age from 5 to 28, participate each year in one of these regional festivals. The
festival setting gives them an opportunity to gain invaluable educational and performing experience.
<strong><span style="font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif"">The Provincial Festival, also known as The Provincials, is the eagerly anticipated pinnacle of BC's festival circuit</span></strong>. Hosted by a different regional festival each year, only the most
promising young performers from each regional festival are recommended to the Provincial Festival where they compete and participate in adjudicated sessions, master classes, coaching, workshops and technique classes with some of North America's finest adjudicators.
Classes are offered at the Provincial level in Classical Voice, Musical Theatre, Piano, Strings, Woodwinds, Brass, Guitar, Chamber Music, Speech Arts, Ballet, Modern Dance and Stage Dance. The very best performers in various music disciplines are then recommended
to move on to the National Music Festival. <strong><span style="font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif"">This year's festival is in Powell River, May 26-30. Click
