Summary
This is a private and local bill introduced in the Nova Scotia Legislature that gives the Windsor Curling Club legal permission to change its organizational structure. Specifically, it allows the club to convert and continue as a society under Nova Scotia's Societies Act, which is the standard legal framework for non-profit organizations in the province. This type of bill is common when an older organization was originally incorporated under a special or outdated act and needs to modernize its legal status. By becoming a society under the Societies Act, the Windsor Curling Club would operate under the same rules and governance framework as other non-profit societies in Nova Scotia. The bill was introduced by MLA Melissa Sheehy-Richard, who represents Hants West — the area where Windsor is located. It passed all stages quickly and received Royal Assent on March 26, 2025.
