Vintage social media (aka News Briefs)

We post news items on our website periodically as they come to our attention. If you are not regularly on our website, here is a list with links to enable you to catch up.

Please email us if you have an article or news story that might interest CCI Manitoba and our members.

For up-to-date information about in-person and online events, please go to https://cci-manitoba.ca/education-events/upcoming-course-events. 

Note that the education events listed below are now free for CCI members and as of May 1, 2024, most events are offered in hybird format, i.e. both in-person and online.

In this edition, we have four topics of interest:

• Property manager concerns
• Summaries of the recent Presidents’ and Treasurers’ forums
• Financial audit or review engagement
• Condo corporation appraisals and insurance
   

Welcome to spring!

Looking forward with a view to success
 

The first quarter of 2024 is moving ahead with strong performance, which continues the strong second-quarter performance of 2023. You will see actual differences in the numbers below from the Winnipeg Regional Real Estate Board’s MLS reporting at the end of March.

We find that our Individual members are some of the most engaged and active members of any membership category, and some of our most staunch supporters, whereas our condo corporation members and their unit owners are by far the most numerous of any membership category and the reason CCI exists. 
 

We need you! Welcome to winter!
 

So far it looks like it will be a good one, but don’t hold your breath.
 

We are now more than half way through our fiscal year at CCI Manitoba, so it’s time for me to evaluate our membership growth. While our membership numbers are up slightly from last year, they are still down from pre-pandemic levels. How to increase our membership numbers is a problem we have always struggled with.
