Membership Info
Why Join CCI – Manitoba?
Because CCI Manitoba provides great value for the price of a membership.
The Canadian Condominium Institute is a non-profit organization with a membership which represents all aspects of condominium living and works to advance the following objectives:
-
To provide condominium directors, property managers and other industry professionals with educational opportunities.
-
To provide condominium directors and members with assistance with any problems encountered in operating condominium corporations.
-
To protect and improve the quality of life afforded to residents in condominium properties.
-
To provide guidance to various levels of government with regard to the establishment of policies and/or legislation that provide for the equitable treatment of condominium properties.
While it’s easy to quantify the cost of a CCI Manitoba membership, it’s more difficult to quantify its value. First of all, not all members take advantage of all of the available benefits, so the perceived value will vary depending on the specific member. Secondly, some members are unaware that they are members. In fact, all unit owners of a member condo corporation are also members of CCI Manitoba and, as such, are entitled to all of the associated membership benefits. This also applies to the staff at our Business Partner members.
Here are the benefits available to all members:
- Access to exclusive member-only content on our website — podcasts, presentations and recordings; newsletter archive; forms and templates. Note that login credentials are required; if you don’t know yours, just email us.

The condominium community is growing at an astonishing rate; now nearly a third of the home real estate market is condominium sales. It is in the best interest of both successful and struggling condominium corporations as well as industry professionals to actively support the CCI in its aim to improve the condominium image throughout Canada. This can be achieved through your membership and participation in the national institute and its chapters.
We are certain you will benefit from membership in The Canadian Condominium Institute Manitoba Chapter and look forward to receiving your correspondence about issues and concerns of particular interest to you. Feel free to email us.
