 ==Notice==
+===When does notice of general meetings need to be sent?===
+If the non-profit's bylaws don't specify, the default from [https://www.bclaws.gov.bc.ca/civix/document/id/lc/statreg/15018_01#section77 s. 77] of the ''Societies Act'' is that notices of every general meeting must be sent out between 14 and 60 days before the day the meeting will be held. The bylaws may be amended to require a different number of days' notice, but it cannot be less than 7 or more than 60 days. Per the ''Interpretation Act'', days means non-holiday business weekdays.
+===What needs to be included in the notice?===
+Notice of a general meeting must include the date, time, and location of the meeting. The notice must also include the text of any special resolutions to be considered at the meeting.
 ===Should we change our bylaws to allow for electronic notice to members?===
 Yes, this change is advisable. It requires a special resolution at a general meeting.
