AUDITOR GENERAL OF ONTARIO REPORT - CONDOMINIUM OVERSIGHT
*** COA message to Auditor General Of Ontario - Thank you for recommending strong revision of the mandates for the CAO and CAT. Your recommended changes provide fair and honorable resolutions for Condo Owners. The COA agrees with your report conclusions (below) and appreciated the opportunity to provide you with input.*** Auditor General of Ontario Report - "Overall, we concluded that the mandates given to the Condominium Authority of Ontario (Condo Authority) and the Condominium Authority Tribunal (Tribunal) are limited and do not sufficiently protect condo owners against common issues that they may encounter in their daily condo living. Many of the relevant 2015 amendments to the Condominium Act, 1998, that would provide more consumer protection giving condo owners and boards a stronger ability to manage their ownership interests and/or responsibilities effectively, are not proclaimed and therefore are not in force. We found that the Condo Authority, designated in September 2017, does not yet have effective and efficient processes and systems in place to carry out its mandated responsibilities."

Linda Pinizzotto Founded the Condo Owners Association, non profit Association in March 2010. She believed the Provincial Condo Act lacked enforcement, Board of Director accountability, governance and regulation plus Property Management Companies/Managers required licensing. In June 2012, the COA advocacy succeeded in convincing the Ministry of Government and Consumer Services to launch a "Build a Better Condo Act" to support changes to the Condo Act. COA continues to support Condo Owners and thriving sustainable Condo Communities. Linda was Knighted by the Order of St George in 2014 as a Distinguished Dame of the Order as a result of her "common cause to helping people in need".
