(1) Subject to subsection (2), at least 21 days notice must be given of a meeting of a company's members. However, if a company has a constitution, it may specify a longer minimum period of notice.

In order to have a legal meeting you must have a quorum of shareholders present. Typically, a quorum is defined as a representative of more than half of all shares outstanding. There are many other items that can be included on the agenda for an annual shareholder meeting.

Notice. The notice of a meeting of shareholders must be sent to (i) each shareholder entitled to vote at the meeting; (ii) each director; and (iii) the auditor of the corporation. For privately held companies (non-public), notice must be sent not less than 10 days and not more than 50 days before the meeting.
