Annual reports and financial summaries of the Hastings County Historical Society are shared on this page.
At the Public Presentation at Maranatha on November 19th, 2024, the Hastings County Historical Society voted to approve a revised by-law that brings us in line with the Ontario Not For Profit Corporation Act 2024. The officers of the corporation have reviewed the template provided through the Ontario Historical Society to ensure that all mandatory parts of the ONPC Act are incorporated in our by-law. This was done in 2016, but further changes were made to the Ontario Not For Profit Corporation Act, so a second review was necessary.
The new by-law document is linked to below.

President- Hastings County Historical Society
Background: The provincial government’s Not-for-Profit Corporations Act 2010 (Ontario) requires that all organizations have in place a form of annual review of their financial records.There are three categories, one for the very large organizations (over $500,000 annual income) which requires an Audit; one for the smaller organizations (under $500,000) which allows for a Review Engagement; and one for the very small organizations, like ours, which does not require either of these. For such smaller organizations, a less complex system is available called a “Notice to Reader.”
This last form is what the Historical Society has used for many years and has been found to be quite sufficient. With the new provincial regulations, it is required that the membership approve the form of financial review.
