Safety and Security in Condominiums
As outlined in our joint statement on January 12, 2023, the Association of Condominium Managers of Ontario (ACMO), the Canadian Condominium Institute’s (CCI) Toronto Chapter, and the Community Associations Institute (CAI) Canadian Chapter continue to work together to ensure that the condominium industry is better equipped to manage concerns relating to violence and/or mental health in communities.
We thank all interested candidates that responded to our call for volunteers. Based on the responses received, we have struck three committees:
- Legislation Committee: To review appropriate opportunities for legislative reform to better protect personal safety in condominiums and educate government agencies about how best to minimize risk for condominium communities.
- Resources Committee: To identify and promote appropriate resources relating to mental health and conflict de-escalation to support condominium corporations in the future. This may include better educating other organizations about the unique challenges in condominiums. The committee may also identify missing resources that should be developed.
- Policy Committee: To review and identify best practices and template policies which will improve governance and proactively support condominium corporations.
