BC Home & Garden Show
It was with much excitement that CCI Vancouver Chapter had its first public exposure to Metro Vancouver at the recent BC Home & Garden Show that took place between February 20th and February 24th. It was a perfect way to introduce CCI Vancouver to tens of thousands of beautiful Vancouverites. Many interested parties came by our booth with questions, a desire to win one of three prizes in our draw and if nothing else to enjoy a chocolate!

CCI Vancouver Update - October 2012
By Jamie Bleay, CCI-Vancouver President
We recently held our fall seminar which, among other things, focused on the mechanics and administration of holding general meetings and to a lesser extent, council meetings. The seminar looked at the pragmatics of sending out general meeting notices, the use of proxies at general meetings, the timing of such notices, how to deliver the notices and the contents of the notices. At a time when a significant number of strata corporations are coming into AGM season this seminar focused on what can be called, for a lack of a better term, a checklist for making the process relatively easy and problem free from start to finish.
MP Waves Red Flag (and White) at Condominium Corporations
By Ron Danks, Partner, SimpsonWigle Law LLP
On September 27th of this year, John Carmichael, MP for Don Valley West introduced a new Bill into the Federal Legislature. Bill C-288 (The National Flag of Canada Act) is designed to prevent individuals or organizations from stopping citizens from displaying the Canadian flag. This legislation makes it a federal offence for any person to interfere with another’s right to fly the flag.
CCI National Council Update
By Jamie Bleay, CCI-Vancouver President
As many of you know, I have been appointed by the CCI Vancouver chapter board to be the National council representative for 2011. In that capacity I am required to participate in teleconference calls and face to face meeting with the entire National council and the National executive of CCI to identify issues of concern with our Chapter, to learn about initiatives put in place or being developed by CCI National for use by our chapter to help it grow its membership, identify and appoint new volunteers to our board and our chapter committees, to market the CCI message as “your condo connection” and to improve the educational mandate of CCI Vancouver.
