CHOA SEMINARS
Join us in the “Condo Classroom” this Fall
Live, Interactive, Engaging
This program has been developed to assist strata councils, property managers, owners and tenants in the general operation and management of their strata corporations.
As we moved towards BC’s re-opening, CHOA had hoped to host our Fall seminars in person. However, in the interest of public safety, we have decided our Fall seminar season will only be online interactive meetings.
Registration is now open. Register early – registration is limited to 100 people per session.
Do you want to register by a different method than online? Please download and complete our
fillable PDF registration form
Each session is $10. Zoom Meeting links, guides and presentations will be issued the week of each seminar.
