Should condo owners manage their own buildings?
It`s a frequent topic of discussion among the many condo owners on the North Island, and one the non-profit Vancouver Island Strata Owners Association, VISOA, can help with.
The association will host the seminar Nuts and Bolts of Strata Management, on Sunday, May 1.
Malcolm Read, president of Bickerton Court Strata Council, will present the pros and cons of self-management and Harvey Williams, past president of VISOA, will discuss the advantages and pitfalls of property management.
