Speed Bumps
From what you are saying it sounds like speed bumps are being installed in front of your unit. The SPA requires that the decision is recorded in s.35 minutes, some financial record may also be required. If the decision is not recorded in the minutes council is contravening the SPA, but the CRT won't usually order them to obey the law. In any event, council has the power to make decisions concerning common property without explanation and has a lot of discretion in interpreting what they deem to be a "significant" change.
It sounds like you expected to be treated with common courtesy, but complaining about being rudely ignored is probably a waste of time. The SPA only requires council to respond to a very narrow range of situations, and that has cultivated an astonishing level of disrespectful arrogance that is spreading throughout BC's strata agency industry.

The CRT says it's redundant to order stratas to comply with
the SPA because that obligation is already the law. If that sounds like a mockery, it is. The truth is, there is no penalty for contravening the SPA, so in large part it is entirely unenforceable.
Council members are volunteers, and unfortunately the standard of care for volunteers is extremely low, even if they control property worth millions and have largely unfettered power over people's lives.
Another problem is the CRT's jurisdiction is not applicable
to all sections of the SPA.
In theory, the CRT could make a declaration, but they are extremely reluctant to do so, perhaps because the CRT defers to council, and limitation periods that protect wrong doers do not apply to declarations anymore than they apply to nuisance claims.
Making a declaration of a contravention would also lead to an expectation of some kind of enforcment, but there is no penalty for contravening the SPA, the CRT does not enforce its orders, and access to justice through a Supreme Court trial is disproportionately expensive.
If the SPA was contravened and you suffered a loss as a result you could seek compensation for significantly unfair treatment, nuisance, breach of contract, or negligence. In theory. The first two are covered by the SPA and strata bylaws, but the last two may not be. Owners can't expect much of a remedy from the CRT.
The CRT was created to reduce the number of self represented litigants from court dockets. Shamefully, adjudicators defer to council by default, thereby reversing the onus of proof. This is the kiss of death for many innocent law abiding victims of rogue strata management teams. In my experience the CRT all too often makes a mockery of the law because the SPA is a house of cards. There's no penalty for contravening it.
