Strata Owners Helping Strata Owners
The Vancouver Island Strata Owners Association (VISOA) is an independent, non-profit organization supported solely by membership fees. Formed in 1973, it is the longest-running organization of its kind in Canada. VISOA provides education, support, and advocacy for BC strata owners and strata corporations. Membership is open to any resident of B.C., strata corporations (such as condominiums, town homes, bare land and commercial stratas) and businesses that provide goods and services to stratas. As part of its mandate, VISOA meets with government and industry associations, and sits on advisory panels to advocate for BC strata owners and strata corporations.
VISOA Services during the Pandemic
For the health and safety of our staff and volunteers, the VISOA office remains closed to the public until further notice. Our administrator is working from home and can answer emails and membership inquiries as usual. When phoning the office, please leave a message. Staff check messages on weekdays during normal business hours and return calls as soon as possible.
Most of our services are provided by email or through our website. You may contact the Strata Support Team as usual by completing the web form.
