call 911 if there is an immediate or ongoing threat to the safety of staff, board members, or residents of your condominium community. Peace Bonds A peace bond is a court order issued under section 810 of the Criminal Code of Canada that requires a person to “ keep the peace and be of good behavior ” and to obey specific conditions, which may include not contacting a specific person or not attending at a specific location. Anyone can make an application for a peace bond if they fear that someone is a significant threat to their safety or their property. A peace bond must be between specific individual persons, and therefore a peace bond cannot be issued to protect a corporation or condominium management service provider. This also means that the peace bond cannot be transferred between individuals to protect any person who holds a specific position within the corporation, such as a property manager or board president. The process for acquiring a peace bond is outlined briefly in this flow chart and explained in detail on the Government of Ontario website. How Can Your Legal Team Help?
