Spring is typically Annual General Meeting (AGM) season for
condominium corporations and with the COVID-19 virus having been
declared a pandemic last week, condo boards should consider whether
or not to proceed with scheduled AGMs. For many condo corporations,
an AGM will be a "mass gathering" that corrals hundreds
of unit owners together in one room, sitting in close proximity,
often for several hours.
While Alberta's Condominium Property Act requires
condominium corporations to convene the next AGM no later than
fifteen (15) months after the immediately preceding AGM, this is a
unique situation in which common sense must be applied. It is
highly unlikely that a condominium corporation will be penalized
for a failure to strictly follow the legislated timeline in these
circumstances.
