We can now celebrate the beginning of another year of CCI in Nova Scotia. Looking back over the past year, I believe I can speak for everyone when never imagining finding ourselves or our CCI-NS Chapter in the place we are now.

EMERGENCY AREA: On March 22, 2020 a State of Emergency was declared for all the Province of Nova Scotia.

Nature of the emergency: The COVID-19 virus, which has caused a pandemic, is in the Province and that event requires prompt coordinated action or regulation for the protection of property and for the health and safety of persons in Nova Scotia. 

Over the past two years Nova Scotia condominium corporations have experienced increased premiums and deductibles and now find there are fewer options in the insurance marketplace.

We have all been spending a LOT more time in our homes this year than we usually have, and I know many have used the time to decorate and embellish their homes and balconies. Plants were (and still are!) hot musthaves and now we cannot enjoy our petunias and geraniums outside, it doesn’t mean we have to completely do without something pretty to enjoy looking out at.

For those that have been following my journey to self-management we had our unusual covid-19 detour and while we are still observing the emergency health directives, it has so far been a very enlightening experience not only for me but our Owners as well.

On October 28, 2020 CCI-NS held its first seminar of the 2020-2021 Education Season. This seminar was free for members and non-members alike. The seminar was geared towards educating the greater community about CCI National, and CCI-NS. It was a great opportunity to speak to what we do and strive to do, to bring value to our members.

On September 17, 2020 CCINS held its Annual General Meeting. Due to the concern for members brought about by COVID-19 and restrictions to social gatherings, this AGM was held virtually.
