The following was posted yesterday on the FilKONtario website:

While the Filk Society (and FKO) remains a financially viable entity,
both the Society Board and the Convention Committee are retiring en
masse this year. Therefore, we are also planning the August event as our
retirement bash!

We are not getting any younger, and we feel that it is time for us to
bow out, and to do so in a positive and open manner.

If there is anyone willing and able to form a Board and take over please
feel free to contact Peggi, but be aware that it means taking over the
Filk Society of Upper Canada. (It is the Ontario not-for-profit that
runs FKO. As such it is a legal entity and subject to Ontario’s
Provincial regulations as well as Federal legislation.)
