The Ontario government has extended the deadline for condo corporations to call and hold virtual meetings and permit electronic voting without a bylaw. The previous deadline of September 30, 2022, has now been pushed ahead one year to September 30, 2023.

The extension applies to owners’ meetings, directors’ meetings and Annual General Meetings. Condos will also be able to continuing providing electronic notices to owners without their agreements or consents.

In early August, the industry was concerned the deadline wouldn’t be stretched out. Many are calling for permanent changes under the Condo Act.

The Ministry of Government and Consumer Services is still exploring potential comprehensive permanent changes that allow for broader participation.
