22. Seven (7) days notice of every annual or extra-ordinary general meeting of the Corporation specifying the place, the date and the hour of meeting and, in the case of special business, the general nature of that business, shall be given to all Owners and Mortgagees who have notified their interests to the Corporation, but accidental omission to give notice to any Owner or to any Mortgagee or non-receipt of notice by any Owner or any Mortgagee does not invalidate any proceedings at any such meeting. Notice of any meeting may be waived by persons entitled to vote before, at or after the meeting, and a waiver shall cure any defect in the giving of or failure to give notice.
