Hockey P.E.I.
Article content
In February, Hockey P.E.I. sent a letter to board chair Danny Kelly outlining procedural problems at the previous meeting. The meeting was only online, fell outside the required time frame, and the board only allowed itself to vote on resolutions, and not ordinary members of the organization such as hockey parents and volunteers, the letter said.

'During our October (2024) meetings with the members of the MMHA board, those members candidly admitted that they had incorrectly refused to allow the membership, other than current members of the board, to participate in any of the votes that occurred during the online meeting.'
Article content
The letter ordered Morell to hold a new, full AGM and erased all decisions made at the earlier meeting, which it said did not qualify as an AGM.

In a June 3 Guardian email, Kelly said the board interpreted the organization's constitution to mean only the board could vote at the 2024 meeting that was nullified.
Article content
'This interpretation was the result of many years when few individuals, if any, other than board members, attended the AGM. Hockey P.E.I. disagreed with this interpretation and deemed the motions passed at the 2024 AGM null and void.'

Condo Smarts: Unit owner wrong in refusing common property repairs
'One owner/occupier has declined to have their new windows installed for personal reasons.' Owners must always be reminded when they live in a strata, their home is not their castle, says Tony Gioventu. Photo by Getty Reviews and recommendations are unbiased and products are independently selected. Postmedia may earn an affiliate commission from purchases made through links on this page. Dear Tony: Last year at our Annual General Meeting, we approved the installation of new windows on the first floor of our building, largely in part to the fact that most of the windows were not egress compliant with the building code, even when they were installed as a part of our leaky condo remediation over 20 years ago.

The windows were ordered after the AGM, but delivery and installation have been delayed due in part to material and manpower. Now that the installer has all the windows manufactured and the affected unit owners/ residents were notified of an installation date, less than 48 hours prior to the start of the installation, one owner/occupier has declined to have their new windows installed for personal reasons. What are the options available to a Strata Corporation when an owner refuses an approved improvement to the building? Would/could a lien on the affected strata lot be an option for the strata corporation to recuperate the cost of the windows installation, when the owner decides to have it installed at their convenience, possibly in five-plus years from now or when the owner decides to sell or remortgage?

Please try again This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. — Keith D., Victoria Dear Keith: This is a frequent complaint when an owner obstructs approved repairs to common property or refuses access to a strata lot to address common property repairs or services. Owners must always be reminded when they live in a strata, their home is not their castle. These are not the windows of the owner, they are common property and the strata corporation does not require an owner consent for their installation. It is in the best interest of the strata corporation to co-operate with owners, accommodate special needs, medical conditions and security concerns, but the end result requires the replacement of the windows. Owners pay common expenses through strata fees, contingency reserve contributions, and special levies for the maintenance and repair of common property. The strata corporation, represented by the council, have a duty to enforce bylaws and comply with resolutions approved by the owners for the same repairs. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. If an owner is refusing access to an exterior element for replacement or repair, this becomes a bylaw enforcement issue if a solution cannot be reached. The same situation occurs where owners have replaced the windows of their unit without consent of the corporation and then refuse to allow for upgrades or contribute to costs. Random and inconsistent repairs and upgrades may also contribute to future failures if not properly installed. Bylaw enforcement or repair costs may be recovered from an owner if the bylaws permit, but they are not costs that may be liened against a strata lot. Waiting for a sale may exhaust a limitation period or most likely will be forgotten by future strata councils. If necessary, an application to the Civil Resolution Tribunal to order the co-operation and the recovery of costs may be your only option. If successful, that decision can be registered in Supreme Court And filed on the title of the owner to secure the recovery of the costs.
