(a) the common elements;
(b) property owned by the Corporation; and
(c) the units, excluding improvements and betterments made or acquired by an owner
in an amount equal to the full replacement cost without deduction for depreciation. For the purpose of determining the full replacement cost, the Corporation shall, at least every two years or at the request of owners representing or mortgagees holding mortgages on 15% or more or the units, cause an appraisal to be made.
Such insurance shall contain:
(i) a waiver of the insurer's option to repair, rebuild or replace in the event that after substantial damage to 25% or more of the buildings, the owners vote for termination pursuant to Subsection 123(5) of the Act and government of the property by the Act is terminated;

(a) Insurance on any perils not insured by the Corporation, on any additions or improvements made by an owner to his or her unit, and on furnishings, fixtures, equipment, decorating and personal property and chattels stored elsewhere on the property, including his or her automobile or automobiles, and for loss of use and occupancy of his or her unit in the event of damage. Any policy or policies of insurance shall contain waivers of subrogation against the Corporation, its manager, agents, employees, and servants, and against the other unit owners and any residents, tenants, visitors or guests of other units, except for any damage arising from vehicle impact, arson or fraud caused or contributed by any of the above.

Such insurance trust agreement shall be with a trust company registered under The Loan and Trust Corporations Act, or a chartered bank, or in the event such institutions refuse to act, such other institution authorized to act as an insurance trustee as the Board shall determine. Such agreement shall provide that the Insurance Trustee shall hold all insurance proceeds in excess of the stated amount in the Insurance Trust Agreement in trust and disburse the proceeds in satisfaction of the Corporation's and unit owners' respective obligations to repair. In the event of termination of the Condominium, proceeds are to be disbursed to the unit owners and their respective mortgagees as their interests may appear.
Every mortgagee shall be deemed to have agreed to waive any right to have proceeds of any insurance applied on account of the mortgage where such application would prevent application of insurance proceeds in satisfaction of an obligation to repair.
(a) The Corporation, or any insurer of the property, and their respective agents, employees or authorized representatives, and any other person authorized by the board, shall be entitled to enter any unit or any part of the common elements over which any owner has the exclusive use, at all reasonable times and upon giving reasonable notice, for the purposes of making inspections, adjusting losses, making repairs and replacements, correcting any condition which violates the provisions of any insurance policy or policies, remedying any condition which might result in damage to the property, or which violates any public health or safety regulation, or carrying out any duty imposed upon the Corporation.

(f) Each owner who does not regularly reside in a unit shall provide the Corporation with an address and a telephone number where such owner can usually be reached at such times of emergency or when repairs to a unit are required.
Each of the provisions of this Declaration shall be deemed independent and severable, and the invalidity or unenforceability in whole or in part of any one or more of such provisions shall be deemed not to impair or affect in any manner the validity, enforceability or effect of the remainder of this Declaration and, in such event, all other provisions of this Declaration shall continue in full force and effect as if such invalid provision had never been included herein.
(a) The Corporation shall establish and maintain one or more reserve funds in accordance with the Act and shall collect from the owners, as part of their contribution towards the common expenses, amounts that are reasonably expected to provide sufficient funds for the major repair and/or replacement of the common elements and assets of the Corporation, all in accordance with the provisions of the Act.
(b) No part of the reserve fund shall be used except for the purposes set out in the Act. The amount of the reserve fund shall constitute an asset of the Corporation and shall not be distributed to any owner except on termination of the Corporation.
The failure to take action to enforce any provision contained in the Act, this Declaration, the By-laws, or any Rules and Regulations of the Corporation, irrespective of the number of violations or breaches which may occur, shall not constitute a waiver of the right to do so thereafter nor be deemed to abrogate or waive any such provision.
The headings throughout the body of this declaration form no part of this declaration but are inserted for convenience of reference only.
Any references to a section or sections of the Act in this declaration, or in any by-laws or rules hereafter enacted by the Corporation, shall be read and construed as a reference to the identical or similarly appropriate section or sections as the case may be of any successor legislation to the Act.
