About this unincorporated club rules and constitution template
This is a constitution or set of rules to regulate your management of any straight forward club, society, association or other organisation that is not a registered company.
You can use it to manage a charity - remember to register it with the Canada Revenue Agency.
If your organisation will make a profit, that money will of course be subject to tax.
Use it for any group interest. Examples are:
- sports club
- collectors' club
- enthusiast club (like a bird-watching society)
- amateur dramatic or music society
- an intellectual pursuit
- a political organisation
The law relating to club rules and constitutions
Whether your club is new or has existed for years, most simply, it will be an unincorporated association regulated by a document like this one.
Remember that if you make a profit, it will be taxable!
Template features and contents
Of course you want to be sure that the document covers everything you need - but no more.
This is a simple but comprehensive version in plain English.
The document includes the following sections:
- Main objective
- Subscriptions, resignation, suspension and expulsion
- Management of the association
- Powers of the committee - what are they and who decides
- Meetings
- Quorum at meetings
- Voting at meetings
- How and when the rules can and will be amended
- Provisions for dissolution
- Explanatory notes and guidance

Review of the Australian version
I was in a bit of a hurry, and I didn’t want to be bothered seeing a solicitor to draw up a fairly standard legal document – I found that this constitution ticked all the boxes and was easy to use. Good value for money.

Review of the Australian version
The draft document provided an invaluable starting point for our requirements. It enabled us to rely on every point being covered and was easy to edit. Far easier than trying to include everything when starting from scratch.
The price was modest too, excellent value.
Highly recommended. This is our "go to" site from now for legal drafts.
