The present Condominium Act was drafted in 1975 and does not currently reflect the growth in the condominium industry. The new proposed act will provide better protection for first-time condominium buyers and present owners, improve the day-to-day operation of condominiums and explore other types of condominium development that are popular in other regions and not yet available in this province.
