Article Summary: 

In this Legislative Newsflash from CondoVoice, released on October 6, 2020, it is announced that the Ontario provincial government has extended the timeline for condominium corporations to hold virtual meetings and permit electronic voting without a bylaw. The extension is in response to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and will be in effect until May 31, 2021. Condominium corporations can now hold virtual owners' meetings, including Annual General Meetings (AGMs), and allow electronic voting without the need for a bylaw. They can also serve notices electronically to owners, even without explicit consent, and hold virtual board meetings even if not all directors have agreed. The extension provides relief to corporations facing challenges in conducting in-person meetings due to COVID-19 restrictions. Boards of Directors are encouraged to consult with legal counsel to consider passing a virtual meeting bylaw to continue virtual meetings beyond May 31, 2021.
