President's Message

Winter 2024

As we bid farewell to 2023 and embrace the winter season, it is my pleasure to share with you the highlights of the past quarter and express my gratitude for your unwavering commitment to the Canadian Condominium Institute South Alberta Chapter. As we continue to navigate the ever-evolving landscape of condominium governance, your dedication and involvement remain the
driving force behind our success. 

In November, we had the privilege of participating in the CCI National Virtual Fall Leaders Forum. This event provided a unique opportunity for leaders from various chapters across the country to come together, share insights, and discuss the latest developments in the condominium sector. The exchange of ideas was invaluable, and it reinforced the importance of collaboration in addressing the challenges our industry faces.

Our Board had a productive meeting with the CCI National BPIR (Business Plan Implementation Review Committee) committee. This engagement allowed us to contribute our perspectives and learn
from the experiences of other chapters. The insights gained will undoubtedly enhance our efforts to promote best practices and ensure the continued growth and success of condominium living in South Alberta.

Throughout the quarter, we remained committed to advancing knowledge within our community. We organized and conducted two CCI courses, providing members with opportunities to expand their understanding of key condominium issues.

Our Annual General Meeting (AGM) was a significant event that showcased the strength of our chapter. The competitive election held during the AGM demonstrated the enthusiasm and commitment of our members to actively contribute to the growth and development of our community. I would like to extend my congratulations to the newly elected board members and I look forward to working closely with them in the coming year.

Our CCI Board members with legal backgrounds have been actively involved in early developmental meetings discussing an Alberta condominium dispute resolution tribunal. Their expertise and dedication are crucial as we navigate this evolving aspect of condominium governance. We are committed to staying ahead of the curve and ensuring that our members are well-informed about any developments that may impact their communities.

Our Annual Alberta Condominium and Real Estate (ACR) Conference, held in early November, was a success, boasting an increase in attendance compared to the previous year. This heightened interest was met with fantastic support from sponsors, presenters, and booth attendees.

The conference served as a dynamic platform for networking and learning, with a diverse array of sponsors enriching the experience for all participants. Our presenters delivered compelling insights, contributing to the event's educational value.

The exhibition area was buzzing with activity, showcasing a robust presence of booth attendees and highlighting the conference's significance within the Alberta condominium and real estate community. The success of the ACR Conference is a testament to the continued growth and engagement within our industry, and we are immensely grateful to all who played a part in making this event a standout success. As we reflect on this achievement, we look forward to building on this positive momentum at future conferences.

As the holiday season recedes, I trust everyone has taken a well-deserved break and has taken the time to rest, recharge and enjoy the company of loved ones. The past year was demanding, and your efforts have been nothing short of extraordinary.

As we start a new year, let us carry the lessons and accomplishments of 2023 with us. Together, we will continue to build a vibrant and resilient community that sets the standard for condominium living in South Alberta.
