THE STRATA COUNCIL

What is a Strata Council?

The strata council is comprised of a number of owners (or their representatives). The Act states that the

strata council’s role is to: “exercise the powers and perform the duties of the strata corporation, including

enforcement of bylaws and rules”. More specifically, the strata council’s role is to:

x Act as the managing body for the strata corporation;

x Make daily decisions that enable the strata corporation to operate smoothly; and

x Operate within any restrictions created by the Act, Regulations, bylaws, or a majority vote of the

owners.

The strata council can hire a strata manager to perform some or most of the functions of the strata council.

However, if a strata council has delegate its powers to a strata manager, the strata council is still ultimately

responsible for ensuring that its obligations under the Act are fulfilled.

How is the Strata Council formed?

The Strata Council is usually elected every year at the annual general meeting, in accordance with the strata

corporation bylaws.
