To my readers: I sent this e-mail to Anne Beauchesne, PM for our building. It pertained to very serious concerns regarding breaches of my privacy and discrimination:
Anne,
Please provide an update on this concern.
Despite the existence of three court orders arising from prior proceedings, the “President” continues to make statements to residents within the building that denigrate me and diminish the legitimacy of my accommodation. These comments are being made openly within the building and have the effect of stigmatizing me.
Several of these comments have been reported to me by individuals who know me personally. If the “President” feels comfortable making such derogatory remarks to individuals he knows to be my friends, it raises legitimate concerns about the extent of the hostility directed toward me and the environment being fostered within the building.
In addition, this conduct raises serious concerns of reprisal under the Human Rights Code, as the statements appear connected to my prior requests for accommodation and my efforts to assert my legal rights.
As the “President” is acting in their capacity as a representative of the condominium corporation, the corporation itself may be exposed to liability if this conduct continues unchecked.
In addition, the same “President” previously disclosed to members of the community my request for accommodation in the form of a washer and dryer, which further contributed to the creation of a hostile environment within the building. We have evidence supporting this disclosure, including a recorded conversation between “Vice-President” Wendy Vaughn and a resident of the building, as well as an affidavit from that resident stating that Ms. Vaughn learned of my accommodation request directly from the President.
Please confirm that the Board has received this request and advise what steps will be taken to address the issue. Failing appropriate action, I will have to consider pursuing further remedies against the corporation.
I am copying corporation counsel on this correspondence in the hope that this matter can be addressed promptly and that this conduct will cease. I also hope that corporation counsel will act in the best interests of the community in helping to ensure that the corporation complies with its legal obligations and that this ongoing issue is resolved appropriately.
The continued lack of corrective action is itself disrespectful of my disability and undermines my right to live free from discrimination.
Sincerely,
Claudia Baha

Dear Ms. Baha:
Re:
Waterloo North Condominium Corporation No. 37 and Claudia Baha
Our File No.: 25-2273
We are corresponding on behalf of the board of directors and management to address your March 13, 2026 email communication.
The allegations set out in your communication are categorically rejected. Your complaint is fundamentally premised on a mischaracterization of facts. The matters you reference, including the circumstances relating to your prior accommodation requests, arise from proceedings that
you initiated, and which form part of the public record.
Any comments attributed to the directors, including the President, are derived from that public record. The condominium corporation and its representatives are entitled to reference, rely upon and respond to matters that have been placed into the public domain through your own actions.
In that context, your attempt to recast references or statements to publicly available information as ‘denigrating’, ‘stigmatizing’, ‘derogatory’, ‘hostile’, a ‘reprisal’ or otherwise improper, is untenable. The tone and content of your March 13th communication are consistent with the very concerns
identified by The Honourable Justice Smith in His Honour’s December 18, 2025 Reasons for Judgment. His Honour expressly found at paragraph 130 of the Reasons that you were “routinely rude, aggressive, sarcastic and insulting…” in your communications with the condominium’s representatives, and further found at paragraph 137 of the Reasons that your correspondence [multiple affidavits, factum and oral submissions] “…all repeatedly attack the integrity, honesty, competence and intelligence…” of the board members. Your March 13th email continues in that same vein – advancing serious allegations by reframing matters that are on the public record as misconduct. Quite apart from the fact that your March 13th communication does not establish wrongdoing by the condominium corporation or its directors, that communication reflects the same pattern of communication that has already been the subject of judicial criticism.
The board of directors has considered your allegations made of the President, has determined that there is no basis for intervention and is satisfied that no corrective action is warranted.
If you elect to commence further proceedings, then condominium corporation will respond decisively, it will rely on the complete record of all prior proceedings, including prior judicial findings regarding your conduct and the nature of your communications, and it will pursue an award of costs of a substantial or full indemnity basis.
Yours truly,
DEO Condominium Lawyers
