Description BC Housing collaborates with housing sector partners to deliver educational seminars for homeowners and homebuyers on a range of topics. This includes seminars and forums presented by the Condominium Home Owners Association of BC (CHOA), the Canadian Condominium Institute, and the Homebuilders Association Vancouver throughout the year. Sessions are delivered by knowledge - able industry experts and provide practical information and resources to help consumers make informed decisions about residential construction, homebuying and maintenance. CHOA offers educational seminars province-wide to assist strata councils, individual owners and the general public. These sessions cover a variety of subjects and highlight the importance of maintenance and renewal planning to protect a building’s assets, the owner’s investment and how to create a comfortable living environment. Building systems that are routinely inspected and maintained perform better and have a longer service life. Residential topics of interest for consumers include: maintenance for balconies, decks and roofs, replacing windows and building envelope systems, installing and maintaining heat recovery ventilators and solar panels. Impact Conducted in collaboration with housing sector partners, these consumer-focused seminars educate homebuyers and homeowners about the importance of maintenance and cover a range of residential construction topics of interest.
