About the Association
The Alpine Village Property Owners Association Inc. (AVPOA) is an incorporated Not for Profit Association (NPO) entity. The Letters Patent describes the duties of the Board of Directors and is the legal instrument that dictates the rules and regulations (by-laws) of the day to day business for the association.
The association is comprised of the paid membership who are among the 112 homeowners residing in Alpine Village. Application to the association is done when new homeowners move into the village community, so they can enjoy and use the shared lands and waterfront. Since 1978 the members yearly nominate a select few to act on the Board of Directors at the Annual General Meeting (AGM). The newly elected B.O.D. then continue the business of the association for that fiscal year. The fiscal year is July 1st to June 30th of each year.
The AVPOA is governed by its Letters Patent and By-Laws from 1978 to most recent rulings defined by the Not for Profit Corporations Act, 2010. About this Website

IMPORTANT MEMO
CANADA'S NEW ANTI SPAM LAW (CASL)
Starting July 1, 2014 Canada's Anti-Spam Law will regulate all Commercial Electronic Messages sent or received by computer in Canada. This will include electronic newletters from other business affiliations and from the Alpine Village Property Owners Association.
Background: Canada's Anti-Spam Legislation (CASL) was passed into law in December 2010 and comes in force on July 1, 2014.
There is a 3- year transition period, to July 1, 2017, for certain categories of "implied consent" as described in (a) to (c) below. CASL will regulate all "Commercial Electronic Messages" (CEMs) sent or received by computer in Canada, as well as a broad range of electronic/online activities, including digitally collecting email addresses without consent (address harvesting).
Notes; * express consent does not expire; if someone subscribed to your email list before July 1, 2014, their consent stands until they indicate otherwise. Note: express consent cannot be obtained using a "pre-checked box" in an email; CASL is an "opt-in" regime.
* examples of implied consent that may apply to member lake association include:
a) recipient has an "existing business relationship" with a no-profit organization if the recipient was a member, purchased a prdict, good or service from the organization in the preceding two years; or, in the past six months, the organization recieved from the recipient an inquiry about a product, good or service.
b) recipient has a "non business relationship" with a non-profit organization if the recipient is not currently a member but was in the preceding two years, or volunteered for or donated to, the organization in the past two years.
c) recipient gave business card to sender, or recipient's electtronic address is "conspicuously published" (eg. online) and the recipient has not said " don't send me emails" and the CEM is relevant to the recipient's official role or duties.
Therefore; Where there is implied consent in an existing business or non-business relationship that has already included the communication of CEMs, "Businesses and people may take advantage of this transitional period (to July 1, 2017) to seek express consent for the continued sending of CEMs.
