What notice period is required for a strata corporation's general meeting?

• A. 30 days written notice
• B. 20 days written notice
• C. 10 days written notice
• D. 60 days written notice

Answer: (B)

The key idea here is the minimum written notice a strata corporation must give owners before a general meeting. In British Columbia, the Strata Property Act sets the standard: written notice to each owner must be provided at least twenty days before the meeting. This lead time gives owners enough opportunity to review the agenda, gather information, arrange attendance or appoint a proxy, and participate in the decision-making process. The notice should include the meeting details (date, time, location) and the proposed agenda so everyone can come prepared. Longer notice periods are not required by default for general meetings, and ten days would be too short to meet the statutory minimum.
