What to do next

The steps run in order. The coach marks each one from your inputs, and the highlighted step is the one to work on now.

    Timeline

    Day 0 is the day the board receives the requisition. Days are counted under the Legislation Act, 2006: the first day is excluded and the last is included, even where the rule says "at least".

    Short summaries of what each step requires. Open a section to see the key wording, and follow the link to the current text on Ontario's e-Laws.

    Reasons for removal

    A requisition to remove directors must give the reasons (s. 46(3)), and a copy goes to every owner with the notice of meeting (s. 47(7)). Pick the reasons that match documents you hold, fill in the details, and the text flows into the requisition template below.

    Write it this way

    • One fact per reason, with a date and the document it comes from.
    • Name the duty in the Act the fact relates to, not anyone's motive.
    • Say what the records show: "the records provided do not include", not "they hid".
    • Keep a copy of every source document before the requisition goes out.

    Leave this out

    • Words like fraud, theft, dishonest or illegal, or any claim about honesty or intent.
    • Anything you can't prove from the corporation's own documents or your own dated correspondence.
    • Complaints to, or threats of, regulators, police or lawsuits.
    • Personal matters about any director unrelated to the corporation.
    Ties the facts to the directors' standard of care, without any claim about honesty.
    One reason per line. The checker flags wording that could create legal risk.

    Compiled reasons

    Templates and draft emails

    Each draft fills in from your numbers and dates above. Anything still in a highlighted box needs your input. Keep drafts factual, and leave out anything you couldn't prove from the corporation's own documents.

    Use a dedicated campaign address.
    Separate names with commas, as shown on the corporation's registry entry.
    From the CAO registry.

    Signature tracker

    Optional. Keep one row per unit. A unit counts only when every check is complete. Entries stay in this browser on this device and are never uploaded. Use “Export all my data” above to keep them. Don't commit a filled-in tracker to a public repository.
