The board’s legal obligations

Saturday, October 24, 2026
9:30 AM to 12:00 PM
Virtual
Register

This workshop will be held over Zoom. To attend a virtual workshop, participants will need access to a stable internet connection and a smartphone, tablet or computer.

Facilitator: Safia Lakhani

Fee: $65 + HST for member co-ops

Summary

This workshop will review the sources of law governing the boards of housing co-operatives and look at directors’ key obligations and what they need to be aware of.

We will discuss how to avoid conflicts of interest and uphold confidentiality and codes of ethics, and we will talk about what to do when directors do not follow the rules.

Finally, participants will discuss case studies that highlight the information shared in the presentation.

Registration will close at 9:00 AM two days before each workshop.

If you have any questions about registration, contact Denese Gascho at reception@coophousing.com. If you have questions about the workshops, contact Naomi Cho at naomi@coophousing.com.
