Filing brief
Lions Village: the entrance fee that did not come back
Seniors paid entrance fees to a registered charity for life leases in three Edmonton retirement communities. When they died or moved out, the applicants say, the money was not returned — and since 2024 Alberta law has required 9% interest on it, paid monthly. On July 6 they asked the Court of King's Bench to hand the society to BDO.
