The Ontario government has extended the deadline for condo corporations to hold virtual meetings and permit electronic voting without a bylaw. The previous deadline of May 31, 2021, has now been changed to December 31, 2021.

The extension applies to owners’ meetings, directors’ meetings and Annual General Meetings. Condos will also be able to provide owners with electronic notice of meeting packages.

With a third wave of COVID-19 ripping across the province, many corporations have been wondering if the government would prolong the temporary legislative amendments.

Looking forward, the ministry of government and consumer services has been in consultations to determine if permanent changes to virtual processes are needed under the Condo Act and is currently considering feedback the industry has provided.
