A lot of the information in the right sidebar has been archived, as it is no longer relevant. I will likely make it available in the future in a way that puts it into historical context. As always, I will update and correct any errors or gaps in the information, even if it’s “old news.”

Further updates to the site are coming soon!

UPDATE, March 31, 2025: The site will be updated over the next few days to reflect changes with the election of a new council at the AGM.

Tonight, Copperstone owners elected a mostly new council. Here’s wishing them ( and us) success. Congrats to all.

And a big thanks to owners for voting down the special resolutions, both of which were ill-conceived.

The site will have some updates over the next few days as time permits to reflect the new state of affairs.

The current council (save for the two returning members elected last year who have valiantly tried to improve things for owners), has spent the last year deferring decisions and allowing our financial position to worsen, Meanwhile, the strata property manager has spent the week before the AGM sending out a bunch of error-riddled messages with critical omissions to make it look like they are doing actual work.

Here’s the reality:

• Owners approved the $3.5 million settlement for the parkade membrane project at an SGM in November 2022. In nearly two and a half years, no work has been done on this project.
• The estimated cost of the membrane replacement is more than $5 million, which would drain our CRF and leave us in debt. Where is the plan on dealing with this?
• Owners approved $35,000 for parkade lighting at last year’s AGM. A year later, no work has been done and council–clearly not understanding the scope or real cost of this unnecessary project–is asking for $20,000 more.
• We are running a deficit of over $53,000 (the second yearly deficit) with no explanation or plan in the budget. At the same time, council is asking for $50,000 for unnecessary new projects. Where are the priorities?

We need new people on council who will take better care of our finances, properly prioritize items and communicate openly and honestly with owners, instead of relying on spin to make things look better than they are.

It’s in the hands of owners now. Here’s hoping they vote for a better future for Copperstone and not more of the same.

White Diamond, the company contracted to do Copperstone’s snow removal this past winter, is here today re-installing the speed bumps, six days before the AGM.

I’m sure it has nothing to do with optics.

It’s been 53 days since they were removed.

Copperstone deserves better.
