Below are several forms to start a new society or to help you manage a pre-existing society.
Your ability to fill out and file these forms will depend on whether you are a new society or whether you have completed your society's transition to the new Act, if you incorporated before April 1, 2021.
If in doubt, please contact the societies advisor for help by emailing societies@yukon.ca or by calling 867-667-5111.
You can fill out a name reservation form and incorporate a society online using YCOR. The name must be approved before you submit the application to incorporate.
Below are forms you can download and submit on paper, if you choose.
Bylaws must accompany the application for incorporation. Find sample bylaws for the new Societies Act.
For more information about bylaws, email societies@yukon.ca or call 867-667-5111.

Paper vs online filing
If you download one of these forms, fill it out and submit it to Corporate Affairs, this is considered a paper filing. Paper filing takes longer and the fees are higher.
We recommend that you get a YCOR account and request a private filing key to be able to make these filings online.
