On April 15, 2020, the Minister of Public Safety and Solicitor
General issued a Ministerial Order which permits all strata
corporations to hold electronic annual and general meetings (i.e
via Skype, Zoom, etc.), even if the strata corporation has no
specific bylaw passed enabling it to be held this way. This order
helps address the controversy over the use of these methods
discussed in our earlier
blog post last week.
Holding electronic meetings is another tool available to strata
corporations who need to address important business while
practicing social distancing, such as urgent repair issues or
carrying out a strata windup vote. Where some owners are not
comfortable with or do not have electronic access, electronic
meetings can be combined with other socially distanced meeting
tools, such as restricted proxies.
