The minimum qualifications for directors are they must be at least 18 years of age; must not be incapable of managing their own affairs; must not be an undischarged bankrupt; and cannot have been convicted of an offence in connection with promotion, formation or management of a corporation or unincorporated entity, or of an offence involving fraud.

These requirements are not exhaustive, and the bylaws of a non-profit may set out more requirements. If a director ceases to be qualified, the director must resign promptly.
