Or the Canadian Condominium Institute (http://www.cci.ca/ABOUT/whoweare.asp). There is no official condo ombudsman. And here is a link to the actual Condominium Act - http://www.e-laws.gov.on.ca/html/statutes/english/elaws_statutes_98c19_e.htm Tarion should be able to help you with your builder, that is what they are there for. As for your property management company, your board can fire them and hire another if the need arises.

Our board needs some help with multiple issues we are having with our original Builder, our current management company, etc. Is there anywhere we can go for help?
