Part 56 published on 01/11/16
No discrimination by calling owners’ meeting on an important religious holiday
The applicants were owners in the condominium and claimed that the condominium corporation and its manager had discriminated against them because of their creed, by holding a special owners’ meeting on the evening of October 16, 2013, which was an important religious holiday for Muslims.
The claims were dismissed. The Tribunal said:
….assuming without finding that the applicants had a creed-related inability to attend the October 16, 2013 meeting and to vote on the borrowing bylaw in person, PCC #51 had a duty to accommodate the applicants by enabling them to participate in the decision-making about the loan in some other way. This the condominium corporation did by allowing the applicants to vote by proxy.
