Quorum ​

Quorum is the minimum level of owner participation a meeting needs before it can make valid decisions. If you don't have quorum, the meeting can't pass motions or elect a board — even if everyone there agrees.

What it means for your board ​

For a small self-managed corporation, quorum is often the hardest part of running an AGM. If owners don't show up — in person or by proxy — the meeting stalls and has to be rescheduled, delaying budgets, elections, and decisions.

That's why proxies matter so much in small buildings: an owner who can't attend can still count toward quorum and have their vote heard. Tracking who's represented, live, is the difference between a meeting that proceeds and one that collapses.

What the Condominium Property Act says ​

A condominium meeting must have quorum to transact business, and the quorum threshold — typically measured against unit factors — is set by the Condominium Property Act and your corporation's bylaws. Bylaws may set a different quorum within what the Act allows.

Confirm your corporation's quorum requirement (and exactly how it's measured) against the Act and your bylaws before relying on it.
