The Board advised the AGM in October, that a review of a proposal received from Sask Tel for providing TV and internet service to the building was far more competitive than what was available from Shaw Cable. This statement was made without even receiving a formal quotation from Shaw.

In November, it was revealed that Shaw requested a from a Board member, access to the building in order to prepare their proposal for services.

The Board member rejected this request and advised that he was away and would not be reviewing this matter until he returned in the spring following his winter vacation. When Shaw requested the name of another Board member or contact to permit them access, they were advised that he was the only one qualified to review the matter and rather rudely, rejected any further inquiries from the Shaw representative.

This Board member, has demonstrated a bias in favour of Sask Tel service, even without permitting Shaw reasonable access in order to provide a quotation. Whether there is some sort of conflicting interest here or not, his actions were very irresponsible and clearly not what is expected by residents from a Board member. To refuse to address this matter until spring, is also very irresponsible. Unit owners do not need an absentee Board member who refuses to conduct his responsibilities and delay such an important matter, solely for his own convenience.

I would suggest that an apology be made to Shaw for this most disrespectful behavior, and allow them access to the building so that they can provide their proposal. Residents do not have to wait until the return of an absentee Board member.
