The Condominium Authority of Ontario (CAO) announced some changes to its board and officer roles.
In a recent press release, CAO says its chair had suggested that one of the board’s elected members consider stepping down due to conflict of interest and governance concerns. A board meeting was scheduled on April 8 to establish a process for reviewing those matters. Vice-Chair Frank D’Onofrio and Board Directors Tom Wright , Armand Conant and Genevieve Chornenki stepped down from their elected terms. The resignations were accepted and are effective immediately.
The process for filling these vacancies will begin later this month.
The CAO Board retains quorum and will continue to govern and guide the organization under Board Chair Heather Zordel , Board Director Judy Sue as Treasurer and Chair of the Audit and Risk Committee, and Board Director Margaret Samuel as Corporate Secretary.
The CAO says it remains fully operational to support condo owners through its ongoing digital information and services, and throughout the COVID-19 situation
We need to be in touch with Ms. Heather Zordel as soon as possible, we understand that she does not answer calls. In that case could you please have the person directly under her to give me / us a call. This is regarding board of directors, in particular the board president. I am sure that this does not affect just our condo specifically but perhaps most condos or ALL condo buildings in Toronto and elsewhere. We find that the Condo Authority has no power whatsoever, as a result we question the very existence of this Authority, besides the fact that there are resignations ‘en masse’ and that there is total lack of genuine help that us poor condo owners so desperately need.
I would personally like to be in touch with Ms. Heather Zordel. We need to fix this immediately. Boards have unlimited power and owners cannot do or say anything. We thought that Canada was a democratic country.
Please be in touch with me. This has come to the boiling point. I was even assaulted.
