On September 14, 2021, the Ontario Provincial Government released O. Reg. 645/21: Rules for Areas at Step 3 and at the Roadmap Exit Step (the "Regulations") pertaining to mandatory vaccinations. Many in the condominium industry are asking whether the Regulations apply to common element areas in condominiums.

The media previously reported that a representative of the Ministry of Health stated that the Regulations will not apply to condominium corporations, as they are not "public settings or facilities." The Regulations impose the obligation to provide proof of vaccination only for "patrons" entering a premises. In comparison, the mask requirement imposed by the Ontario Provincial Government applies to "any person" on the premises.

Ontario’s Mandatory Annual Holdback Release Starts In 2027: What Owners And Contractors Need To Know

This requirement is the latest in a series of construction payment reforms under Ontario’s Construction Act. It replaces the traditional model of retaining holdback until substantial performance. Owners and contractors who fail to comply with the notice and payment timelines face exposure to interest claims, payment disputes, and adjudication proceedings.
