March 22, 2026 Update
Corbeau Strata Corporation BCS2460 – Public Service Notice for Owners, Former Owners, and Prospective Buyers
101 & 102 Fraser Street, Port Moody, BC V3H 0C61.
Purpose of this Notice
This document summarizes serious, ongoing concerns about Corbeau strata corporation BCS2460 (“Corbeau”) and its management by StrataCo Property Management of Burnaby, BC.
The issues include:
Unresolved financial irregularities and lack of accountability since 2010.
Alleged breaches of the BC Strata Property Act, privacy violations, and human rights concerns.
Pattern of obstruction, non‑disclosure, and conflict of interest by council members and management.
This notice is intended to inform owners, former owners, and potential buyers so they can make decisions with full awareness of the risks.
2. Key Red Flags and Allegations
Financial and Governance Issues
Unaccounted funds: An estimated $5-6 million in owner funds remain unaccounted for since 2010, with no independent audits, financial disclosures, or transparent records produced.
Missing contracts: There is reportedly no formal management contract between Corbeau and StrataCo Property Management, an unusual and high‑risk situation for a 74‑unit complex.
Fund diversion: Owners’ funds are routed into StrataCo’s bank accounts, not Corbeau’s corporate account, contrary to the original design of the corporation.
Levies and spending: Large special levies have been approved in recent years (including a major roofing project) without clear justification, cost breakdowns, or oversight.
No standard procedures: The corporation lacks documented operating protocols; minutes are often vague or not kept, and meetings are allegedly held in secret.
Governance and Transparency Failures
Council conduct: The council has repeatedly refused to provide owner history reports, bank statements, and corporate records despite repeated requests.
Treasurer non‑cooperation: The current treasurer, Angela Ho, has not responded to owner requests or complaints, nor produced financial documentation; previous treasurers (Bob Nakagawa, Kristine Thody, Robyn Ralph) are similarly unresponsive.
Council secrecy: Large council decisions are made without proper documentation, and members often avoid communication with owners.
No independent review: No formal review or survey of StrataCo’s management performance has ever been conducted by the council.
Conflict of Interest and Influence
StrataCo connection: The long‑time council president, Kathleen Thomson, is reportedly related to the owner of StrataCo Property Management, Allan Grandy. This creates an ongoing, undisclosed conflict of interest.
Council as a block: Council members routinely vote as a unified bloc and appear to operate in the interests of StrataCo, not the owners.
Privileged access: There are concerns that some owners (including council members) receive preferential treatment, legal briefings, and corporate information not available to others.
Owner Rights and Harassment
Restricted participation: Owners are frequently denied the right to speak at AGMs/SGMs or to circulate written reports within the strata.
Discrimination and “non‑status” designations: Some owners have been treated as having reduced rights (“non‑status”), subject to fines and threats without documented process or fairness.
Harassment and stalking: Multiple owners report being stalked, their personal information disclosed without consent, and targeted with intimidation by council members and contractors.
Blocking communication: Owners’ emails and formal complaints sent to council and management are routinely not acknowledged or are deleted.
Human Rights and Legal Concerns
Alleged human rights violations: There are documented reports of discriminatory treatment, extreme prejudice, and abuse of targeted owners, including attempts to silence them.
Extortion and abuse of authority: Council and management are accused of using fines, threats, and procedural abuse to exert pressure on owners.
Potential breach of trust: The corporation has refused to recognize or process charge‑backs for failures of service or discriminatory treatment, suggesting a systemic disregard for owners’ rights.
3. Specific Concerns about Council and Management (2025–2026)
Current council members are accused of:
Ongoing failure to disclose financial records, meeting minutes, and owner history.
Continuing to allow the misuse of owner funds and lack of accountability.
Refusing to cease harassment and stalking of targeted owners.
Working in concert with StrataCo Property Management in ways that appear to prioritize management interests over owners’ interests.
Council for 2025–2026 includes:
Kathleen Thomson (President) Ishan Sood (Vice President) Angela Ho (Treasurer) Robyn Ralph (Former Treasurer) Carli Hills Alexandria Hamilton
There is no verifiable evidence that all these individuals are owners, and several are considered a “privileged” group with access not available to the general ownership.
4. Broader Pattern and External Evidence
StrataCo reputation: Independent reviews (e.g., Google Maps) consistently rate StrataCo Property Management as one of the worst property managers in BC, yet the council has never acted on owner complaints or initiated a competitive review.
Pattern across properties: Investigators suspect that StrataCo may be operating a broader pattern of financial abuse or “black‑market” housing practices, potentially using homeowner funds in ways that resemble a Ponzi scheme.
Authoritative inaction: Repeated complaints and reports to authorities (including BCFSA, police, and strata regulators) have gone unanswered, a recurring experience for victims of housing fraud in BC.
Former Treasurers (Bob Nakagawa, Kristine Thody, Robyn Ralph) are no longer in contact with the ownership group; investigators believe they may still possess proprietary or financial information belonging to the corporation.
5. Conclusions and Recommendations
Severe lack of accountability:
Corbeau strata corporation BCS2460 operates with minimal transparency, no meaningful audits, and a culture of secrecy and obstruction.
Serious governance breaches: The council functions as a closed group, with undisclosed conflicts of interest, misuse of funds, and systematic denial of owner rights.
High risk for owners and buyers:Owners face ongoing financial, legal, and safety risks.
Prospective buyers are strongly advised to treat this property as high‑risk and conduct extremely thorough due diligence before purchasing.
Strata Analyst Rating: Strong “Do Not Buy”
6. Confidentiality Warning
Given the history of retaliation, intimidation, and attempts to identify whistleblowers, this report is shared under strict confidentiality with only the intended audience: active owners, former owners, and their professional advisors.
There is a credible risk that individuals responsible for these conditions may attempt to identify the author(s) of this report and take legal, administrative, or even threatening actions against them, rather than addressing the issues through proper corporate or legal channels.
7. Next Steps Being Considered
Formal complaint to the BC Financial Services Authority (BCFSA) and other relevant regulators from the council.
Independent forensic review of Corbeau’s financial records and StrataCo’s management of all BC properties.
Coordination with owners and legal counsel to pursue remedies under the Strata Property Act and Human Rights Code.
