Question: The Strata Council for a 30-unit townhouse complex in Calgary, AB, wants to implement a new bylaw restricting pet sizes to a maximum of 15 kg. A property manager, David, advises the council on the process. What majority approval is required for the strata corporation to pass a new bylaw under Alberta's Condominium Property Act?

Answer options:

• A simple majority of owners attending a general meeting ✅ A 3/4 vote of all owners at a general meeting
• A 2/3 vote of owners who attend a special general meeting
• A majority vote of the Strata Council

Correct answer: A 3/4 vote of all owners at a general meeting

Explanation: Under the Alberta Condominium Property Act, a bylaw must be passed by a special resolution, which requires a vote in favour by persons who own not less than 75% of the total unit factors for all units and who represent not less than 75% of the total number of units.
