Appreciation We continue to be grateful everyday to the managers/boards who have carried out membership renewals; for the neighbourly calls from directors; for the amazing response from our Professional and Business Partner membership who have been so faithful with their support at our golf tournament, advertising in our publications, and sponsoring of our events. Kudos to all of the amazing writers who so quickly responded to an invitation, or actually volunteered, to provide articles relating to their expertise for this issue, especially during what is a very busy time in every facet of condominiums. It is especially pleasing to have our newer members take pen to paper or fingers to keyboards to share information that may address some of the matters that we grapple with. We can be most appreciative of their enthusiasm and interest in our community. Stories to tell – we appreciate your sharing We all have awesome responsibilities to share in our communities and in the industry and we also have stories to tell about accomplishments that are worth sharing. The article, Risk Management in a HighRise , by the Board of Directors of MSCC #692 is shining evidence of a Condominium Board who worked so diligently to overcome an alarming insurance claim history. Their success can be duplicated although it will take teamwork and some heavy lifting. Other articles within these pages may address some of your issues and ease the load you are carrying in your communities. The storm alarms The storms that Mother Nature has been sharing these past months have been alarming. They come up fast and furious and the potential damage is uppermost in our minds. The ravages of storms can indicate where we might concentrate maintenance resources in our communities for safety and risk management. Vigilance during any type of storm is essential. In person or online – that is the question We continue to be cautiously optimistic about getting back to some kind of normal in the fall. COVID - 19 lingers and we hear of more infections in our community. Many members continue to take every precaution possible to remain healthy. The venue we have used for so many years – the Mocha Shrine Centre – is no longer available as they currently don ’ t have catering services. We are forever grateful for the many years of superb service that Dimitri and Helen gave us. They looked after us so well! Their friendship made going to the Mocha such an enjoyable one. We wish them only the very best in good health during the next chapter of their lives. We are looking for a new venue that will accommodate us for any events we might choose to have in person. As we progress through the remaining months of good weather (hopefully), do find time to enjoy your family and friends. Be well and be safe, always. ■
