Strata Council

A robust and resilient Strata Community resolves its own disputes through Council, its bylaws, and the more targeted remedies the Strata Property Act already provides. An administrator is what happens once none of that is working, not a substitute for making it work in the first place.

An Owner who receives a Strata's specific approval, and then actually acts on it, has a right that a court or the Tribunal must weigh, not something the Strata can withdraw for free. That reliance carries the most weight where the approval was an affirmative, specific representation and the Owner has gone beyond preparatory steps to real use or real expense.

Owners and Council Members should understand that attending a council meeting and participating in a council meeting are different concepts. While bylaws often permit owners to attend as observers, active participation is generally at the discretion of council
