June 18, 2024

At CCI NL’s Annual General Meeting last November it was suggested another seminar for directors of the boards of condominiums be held.  The landscape of condominium management is ever challenging and having the opportunity for board representatives to discuss issues and network with one another was thought very worthwhile.

April 1, 2024, 7:00 – 8:30 PM

The landscape of condominium management in the province has changed recently. Many condominiums are seeking a new Property Management Company to help them manage their properties. Other condominiums, perhaps for the first time, are now realizing they need to be better prepared for the future.
