Message from the President

I started to write this message about the same time as the 2010 Winter Olympics took Vancouver by storm!  Somehow writing about topics such as the Home Renovation Tax Credit, the upcoming HST and its impact on strata corporations and the recent amendments to the Strata Property Act did not quite capture my attention the same way that the Winter Olympics did!  However, all good things must come to an end and now that our Olympians have packed up and moved out of the Olympic Village, one of the newest and greenest condominium developments in the Lower Mainland, it’s back to the task at hand.

Since our last newsletter your newly elected board has been working hard to put together several “lunch & learn” sessions, a full day spring educational seminar and complete the new and revised website for members and non-members alike. We have also been busy identifying what the board considers important issues to our members.

This edition of the CCI Vancouver newsletter will include something for “everyone”, including:

  • Information on the HRTC
  • A case law update and their impact on strata corporations
  • The Strata Property Amendment Act

I hope you find this edition informative and useful. Please pass it along to others in your office, in your strata council meetings or other owners in your building.  If you have any questions or comments about the contents of this newsletter or about CCI Vancouver, feel free to contact us at contact@ccivancouver.com.

CCI-Vancouver President
