Mark believes in giving back to the community, and has continually volunteered in various community organizations, including Pillar Nonprofit Network, the Thames Valley Education Foundation, Better Business Bureau, and the Lions Club.

Mark will speak to Reserve Fund Expenses: "Major" Repairs. The Condominium Act currently allows for a very broad interpretation of what qualifies as a reserve fund expense. Additional guidance and regulations may be forthcoming from the Ontario government, but in the meantime what is allowed, and what should a prudent Corporation do in managing Reserve Funds. Mark will also discuss Audited Financial Statements: How much should I rely on them? Find out how much assurance an audit really does provide (and what an audit does not do), what to look for in the Financial Statements to evaluate the financial health of a condo corporation (and what information you would want to know that are not in the Financial Statements). Is an audit worth it if my condo has less than 25 owners?
