Keep the records
Showing Saskatchewan. Select your province in settings.
Saskatchewan stands fully covered: its own filings and guidance stand in the books beside the federal ones.
Keep the society’s records whole and findable, for as long as the law asks, and let the people entitled to see them see them.
Keep the records the Act names — the articles and bylaws, the minutes, the registers, and adequate accounting records — and open them to the people entitled to look. Binds: Saskatchewan corporations under The Non-profit Corporations Act, 2022.
