Does a charitable corporation have to provide services for the poor?

Ontario, Canada


The following excerpt is from St. Catharines Seniors Apartments Phase Three Inc. v Municipal Property Assessment Corporation et al., 2015 ONSC 3896 (CanLII):

Importantly, the fact that some individuals who benefit from services provided by a charitable corporation are not poor does not necessarily mean that the corporation is not organized for the relief of the poor: see Stouffville Assessment Commissioner v. Mennonite Home Assn., supra, at para. 23. 4. Discussion
