Electronic Meetings Now Authorized

Bill 53, Service Alberta Statutes (Virtual Meetings) Amendment Act, 2021, is now in force. Section 5, relating to the Red Tape Reduction Implementation Act, 2020 came into force today by Royal Assent on March 26, 2021. The remainder of the Act (including those provisions that amended the Condominium Property Act) was declared to come into force retroactively, having effect as of August 15, 2020.

This means that condominium corporations in Alberta are now authorized to hold their general meetings virtually, using electronic means such as Skype, Microsoft Teams, Zoom and other online meeting platforms. Moreover, the retroactive effect also authorizes all electronic general meetings that have been held by condominium corporations since August 15, 2020.
