Provincial Elections: What Are the Rules on Canvassing in Condos?

Today marks the beginning of the election campaign in Ontario. Candidates have until June 7 to campaign and try to get your vote. Blue, green, orange and red electoral signs (we listed them in alphabetical order) are popping everywhere. Boards and property managers will soon receive requests from candidates and their representatives wanting to access the property for canvassing purposes.

Condo boards and property managers should be aware of the new canvassing rules in Ontario that allow candidates and their representative to access multi-unit residential buildings. They should be aware of theses rules, especially considering that failure to comply with them may result in financial penalties.
