Montreal (Quebec) General discussion

[Cosmic Dancer]

Hi NS,

I'm available this weekend, either Saturday, July 3 or Sunday, July 4, preferably in the afternoon. I'm still working on finding a meeting place, however if none can be confirmed by this weekend we can always meet at a restaurant or coffee shop.

With much anticipation,

Hi All,

I would be available for Sunday. If Saturday is chosen I will see what i can do. Have we find a local yet?

Hi CosmicJobFocus,

It looks like it'll be Sunday then. Cosmic Dancer found a place, but if it is only a few people, maybe a simpler solution is easier. I'll let Cosmic Dancer decide later on in the week when we know how many people are available.

hi all,

I'm giving a presentation on the RZ community at a gathering that anyone interested in RZ may attend on Aug. 22, Sat morning. It's co-sponsored with the Edgar Cayce group in Canada. The information is at the following link (early registration is pushed back to July 15, I believe):

Here's info for legal structures with references for Quebec :


The website is: www.canlii.org (quebec civil law)

We did some preliminary investigation into the legal structure for communal ownership. Here's some general info (people will need to consult a lawyer for their own legal laws if interested);

1. Divided ownership (article 1038 +)
2. Undivided ownership (article 1012, 1014)
3. Leasing (article 1892)
4. Owning shares through a company

For 1: This is the condo concept. There is real (private) ownership for some parts of the building. Typically there is an owners agreement for the common parts. There is a legal entity that is created (syndicate in Quebec) and published in a register. The agreement needs to be published to be applicable to 3rd parties (a potential buyer).

For 2: This is ownership as a percentage of the whole building. A separate agreement is required for the owners, and should be registered and published. Restrictions on selling may be part of the agreement.

For 3: This is not so attractive or applicable as there is a concept of landlord and tenant, and the requirements of the landlord responsibilities to the tenant.

For 4: Was told that a good shareholders agreement would easily cost in excess of $10,000, so forget it.

Conclusion: At this point, before consulting a lawyer, it looks like the undivided ownership is the most applicable and most easy.

Here's a picture from the get together at the Edgar Cayce conference a few weeks ago: From left, Jim (Sunflower's husband), Sunfower, Cosmic Dancer and me). A nice conference of 40-50 people, met some old friends. The audience asked a lot of questions, and I did not finish the presentation within the allotted 75 minutes. It was an enjoyable day, with spiritual teachings and some nice messages.
