On the same-sex issue. I’ve noticed that many houses in my area now have large posters in their windows that voice their views. It’s clearly a statement that the occupants of the house have the view as stated on the poster.
Should an OC committee be allowed to decide to put such a poster on the common property? My OC has several large common property street windows that would be ideal to display the committee’s views.
I’m not against committees having a view on neighbourhood or even social issues. But where the OC Act doesn’t specifically allow it, I think they should refer the issue back to the owners first.
Tribunals and courts have issued countless rulings about committees overstepping their authority.
And I’m sorry to harp on the matter but one of my committee members wants the committee to contact the council as the legal representative of all the owners about some matters where opinions are likely to vary. I don’t think that’s right at all.
