Be advised that on April 12, 2019, the OACIQ Discipline Committee ordered that the real estate broker licence of Ms. Vandal, whose establishment was located in LaSalle, be suspended for a period of 3 years and 60 days, whenever she becomes a licence holder again, for committing the following offences:

Count 1: In Candiac, over the course of the years 2011 to 2017, while acting as president of the syndicate of co-owners of an immovable in which she owned a unit, she appropriated a sum of approximately $26,968.61 which had been entrusted to her by the co-owners of this immovable.

Count 2: In Candiac, on or about April 30, 2016, while acting as president of the vertical syndicate of co-owners of an immovable in which she owned a unit, she issued a cheque in the amount of $4,200 to the order of the horizontal syndicate of co-owners to pay the vertical co-ownership costs, knowing that it would be an NSF cheque.
