CCI-T Legislative Committee 2022 Wrap-Up

The CCI Toronto Legislative Committee thanks all our members for their continued support of our organization.  Our members make it possible for us to make legislative submissions for the benefit of all condo owners in Ontario, and to provide important legislative updates to all our members.
 
2022 was a busy year for the Legislative Committee!  In many cases our efforts were also supported by all other CCI Chapters across Ontario.  Being a part of a National organization means that we have access to the very best experts to support condominiums in our Province.
 
As the year comes to a close, we reflect on the efforts of our volunteers and want to remind all interested persons of the important legislative issues in 2022.
