We are continuing to receive suggestions to improve the Provincial condo Act (The Act) and we thank you wholeheartedly for your efforts.

Now that we are well into January, Valentine’s Day is nearly upon us.  No doubt many loved ones will be receiving cards and flowers as part of that special occasion.  2022 was a ‘special occasion’ with respect to condo sales, not that I am suggesting you send a card for this!  In 2022, condo was the one property type which proved to be the most resilient during a very challenging year, and while not as spectacular as the record shattering 2021, was still worthy of recognition (if not a card).

The conversation seems to be muted lately with no new submissions since the prior edition of the Condominium News and Views.  That said, two items from the prior edition, Mandatory Director Training and Benchmarking Data have updates. For the prior article https://cci-manitoba.ca/cci-manitoba-magazine/article/95. If you want to contribute to the discussion, you can make a submission to cci-manitoba.ca/resources/condo-conversation-corner.

Whether it improves the sustainability of your condo operations, reduces waste, increases energy efficiency, reduces water consumption or just beautifies the environment surrounding your property, we’d like to hear from you - just send us an email with a subject line of “CCI Green Condo Page”. We hope to hear from you soon. Please send any comments or suggestions to cci.mb.news@gmail.com.

First of all, it was absolutely wonderful (and exciting) to see everyone at the Annual General Meeting. Attendance was great and Fort Gibraltar was a wonderful location to hold our annual event. The staff did an amazing job and the food was superb. Connie Dame and her staff did an outstanding job in organizing.

As I write this report for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2021, I am amazed at how time flies, especially during a pandemic. They say “time flies when you’re having fun”, and I guess now we can say “time flies during a pandemic”. Most of us have not travelled nor gone to our workplaces or visited with friends and family, but yet, we have adapted and we are getting through it. Challenging and definitely unprecedented! And what lies ahead? Hope and promise, but still lots of uncertainty. Whatever the future holds, we know that we can adapt and we can get through it. We have learned so much and there is much to be grateful for. 

Here are some new items and others concerning previous newsletter articles, Lunch-n-Learns, webinars and Conversations in previous Newsletter editions. If you want to contribute to the discussion, you can make a submission to https://cci-manitoba.ca/resources/condo-conversation-corner.
