Short Version

Bill PR1, the Loretto Ladies' Colleges and Schools Act, 2014, expands the corporation's power to acquire, hold, and dispose of property to anywhere in Canada or internationally.

What It Means

This Act, also known as the Loretto Ladies' Colleges and Schools Act, 2014, allows the corporation The Loretto Ladies' Colleges and Schools to acquire, hold, sell, and otherwise deal with real and personal property anywhere in Canada or outside of Canada. Previously, the corporation's ability to deal with property was limited to the City of Toronto and elsewhere in Ontario, as established by its original incorporating Act from 1857 and subsequent amendments. This Act does not invalidate any property transactions the corporation made before it received Royal Assent.

What This Bill Does
  • Grants The Loretto Ladies' Colleges and Schools the authority to acquire, hold, sell, and dispose of real and personal property both within Canada and internationally.
  • Confirms that prior property dealings by the corporation before this Act received Royal Assent are not invalidated.
  • States that the Act comes into force on the day it receives Royal Assent.
Who Is Affected
  • The Loretto Ladies' Colleges and Schools (the corporation)
  • The board of directors of The Loretto Ladies' Colleges and Schools
Rights, Duties, Or Obligations

Important Dates

Financial Or Tax Impacts
  • The Loretto Ladies' Colleges and Schools is described as a registered charity under the Income Tax Act (Canada).
Uncertainties Or Limits
  • The specific powers and limitations of the original 1857 Act and its subsequent amendments are described in the preamble, but the full text of those original acts is not provided within this bill.
  • The exact nature and extent of 'real or personal property' are not detailed within this bill.
  • The definition of 'deal with' in relation to property is not specified.
