FirstService Residential Launches Educational Seminar Series
Vancouver, BC (PRWEB) December 06, 2013 -- FirstService Residential, Metro Vancouver’s leading property management company, held its inaugural educational event on November 27, 2013 on the topic of “Strata Collections and Changes to the Limitation Act”. The event was held in the amenity room of Pacific Point I in downtown Vancouver, a property proudly managed by FirstService Residential. In attendance were guest speakers Veronica Franco, Partner at Clark Wilson LLP, and Tony Gioventu, Executive Director of the Condominium Homeowners Association (CHOA), to guide council members through a discussion regarding the amended Limitation Act that came into effect June 1, 2013, impacting strata corporation collection strategies.
Council members from all neighbouring properties were invited to participate in the complimentary evening seminar, which included a ‘meet and greet’ over drinks and appetizers, followed by an interactive discussion led by the guest speakers. FirstService Residential executives and property managers were present to engage with guests and participate in the informative discussion. A member of FirstService Residential’s concierge team welcomed and served guests throughout the evening. A summary from the discussion will be made available online.
The event is the first in a regular series of evening seminars being hosted across Metro Vancouver. The continuing seminars, many of which are open to all neighbourhood Council Members, are part of FirstService Residential’s commitment to residents.
