There are three easy steps to enroll in The One Investment Program:
1. HAVE COUNCIL PASS AN AUTHORIZATION BY-LAW
Arrange for Council to consider and pass One’s model By-law (or similar) which has been prepared with the advice of the Program’s lawyers.
The Agency Agreement for The One Investment Program referred to in the model By-law should also be made available to Council for their review at the meeting dealing with the By-law.
To assist you in obtaining Council approval, One has a sample Report to Council that is available on the One Program website – address below. Staff can also provide actual reports from other municipalities related to their enrollment.
2. EXECUTE ALL REQUIRED DOCUMENTS
Agency Agreement between the Municipality and CHUMS and LAS

Investor Account Information Sheet
This document provides all account details necessary for the setup of your One Investment Program account(s). Note: you may consider having more than one account in each Portfolio so that your accounting for each investment can be easily matched. This is allowable in the One Program and does not result in any additional cost for the investor.
All One portfolios operate through the automated transfer of monies to and from the investor’s bank account at its financial institution(s). For example, if you are using only one bank account for all One investments then only one sheet would be completed. The sheet would include the financial institution and account information, as well as the names of the investment accounts you wish to operate from this account.
Attach one copy of this document (for each account) to the PAD Authorization referred to in 2(d) below. Keep 1 copy of the completed Information Sheet for your records and return 2 copies to One.
