At the recent Annual General Meeting of the Spadina Condominium Corporation, held on October 8th, 2014, ALL BOARD MEMBERS REJECTED, ANY SUGGESTION THAT THE ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING SHOULD BE AUDIO RECORDED.
The Board was advised that audio recordings of Annual General Meetings, is very commonly conducted by many organizations and Corporations in order to ensure accuracy of any records including preparation of minutes for the meeting.
Further, it provides an opportunity for unit owners to be informed should they not be able to attend the meeting. In response, several Board members, most adamantly advised the meeting, that given their “VAST EXPERIENCE OF SERVING ON BOARDS”, they had “NEVER HEARD OF SUCH A THING!” These same Board members and one other resident, demanded “WHICH ONES!” Any attempt of rebuttal, was totally rejected by the Board.
A simple google search will take you to thousands of organizations and corporations, that include this practice in their Annual General Meetings. Any responsible unit owner, shareholder or member of these organizations is very much aware of this practice.
Audio recordings of Annual General Meetings of the Spadina Condominium Corporation have been made for a number of years. These recordings have proven to provide a very valuable reference to the proceedings of these meetings.
What is the Board so afraid of? Well, probably because these records do in fact provide confirmation of MANY SERIOUS CONTRAVENTIONS OF THE LAW BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS, OVER AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME.
THE BOARD IS ADVISED THAT, THESE CONTRAVENTIONS OF LAW ON THEIR PART, ARE FAR BEYOND THOSE OF OUR CORPORATE BYLAWS AND THE CONDOMINIUM PROPERTY ACT.
This ongoing deceit, misrepresentation, concealment and other very irresponsible and illegal conduct of Board members at our AGM’s is reprehensible and will no longer be tolerated.
