Even during these unprecedented times, a strata
corporation's obligations continue. Strata councils face both
the challenge of how to continue with their usual vital business,
such as:
- holding annual general meetings (AGMs) or special general
meetings (SGMs) to approve special levies for critical repairs and
rising insurance costs
- making 2-5-10 warranty claims
- conducting bylaw infraction hearings
- restoring water damage
but also how to address new types of issues, such as how to
ensure common area sanitation, enforce social distancing in common
areas and fairly deal with unpaid strata fees for those unable to
work due to COVID-19.
To help council members navigate these challenges, the BC
Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing has published an
excellent resource for strata corporations, which is available
here.
