About Keep Your Forks

The best is yet to come.

What this is

Keep Your Forks is an independent online space for shareholders of Red Pine Camp Inc. — a 100-year-old family camp on Golden Lake, Ontario owned by approximately six hundred camper families.

The platform offers three things at launch:

1. A research assistant (chatbot) that answers questions about Red Pine Camp’s bylaws, financial history, and governance — drawing only on publicly filed and publicly available materials, and citing them every time.
2. A moderated message board where shareholders can ask, discuss, and organize on matters relating to the affairs of the corporation.
3. A notice board where shareholders can let other shareholders know about shares offered for sale or sought (actual transfers continue to occur through the camp office’s standard certificate process — the platform does not process transactions).

What this is not

Keep Your Forks is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated by Red Pine Camp Inc. or its Board of Directors. It is not an official camp communication channel. It is not a securities exchange. It is not a place to litigate personal grievances or attack named individuals.

Who runs it

Jon Christensen, a Red Pine Camp shareholder, built Keep Your Forks and operates it on a volunteer basis. Costs are paid out of pocket; a small donate link in the footer accepts voluntary contributions toward hosting and AI costs.

Why this exists

Information about how Red Pine Camp Inc. actually works — the bylaws, the shareholder rights set out under the Ontario Business Corporations Act, the financial history, the AGM record — currently lives scattered across SEDAR filings, mailed packages, and institutional memory. New and casual shareholders often don’t know what they own or what rights they have. There is no shareholder-to-shareholder communication channel that isn’t either Facebook or word of mouth at camp.

Keep Your Forks is built to be useful, factual, and durable: a place for the corporate side of camp life that any verified shareholder can turn to when they have a question or want to talk to other owners.

How shareholders join

Each registered shareholder receives a one-time invite code — by post, by email if their address is on file, or by hand at camp. The code is redeemed once on the platform; from then on, the shareholder signs in with their own email and password. The corporation’s register of shareholders, obtained under section 146 of the Ontario Business Corporations Act, is used only to send invitations and is not stored within the platform’s database.
