The 5 th Annual CCI/ACMO Condominium Conference held in Toronto on November 16 th and 17 th was a tremendous success with over 350 people in attendance.

The registration desk opened at 7:00 a.m.and the room was full by 9:00 a.m.when CCI-T President, Gina Cody and ACMO Presi- dent, James Bezemer made their opening remarks followed by keynote speaker, Joe Spina, Parliamentary Assistant to the Hon- orable Norman Sterling.

The day was an event packed success with delegates attending the trade show which featured a variety of exhibitors who ser- vice the condominium industry. The offerings of over nine in- formative seminars were extremely well attended and included, sessions on Group Dynamics, Telecommunications, Energy and Condo Management in the Millennium, as well as the ever-popular "Ask the Experts" sessions. The evening winded up with the CCI National Awards Dinner which followed the CCI National Annual General Meeting.

The awards ceremonies were especially rewarding for the CCI-Toronto Chapter. President, Gina Cody, was awarded with the FCCI designation which makes her a Fellow of the Canadian Condominium Institute and recognizes both her professional expertise as well as her dedication and meritorious service to CCI. A past director of CCI-Toronto, and current President of CCI- Huronia, Gerrit Roosenboom, received his Distinguished Service Award, honoring his hard work and dedication to CCI over the years. The Toronto Chapter was also proud to receive both the Lorne Young National Chapter of the Year award and the H.Penman Smith Award for Best Newsletter of the Year!

After an excellent breakfast and two additional seminars on the new Act and Regulations and Case Law Updates, the conference wound up with a formal luncheon on Saturday November 17 th with guest speaker and comedian, Glen Foster, "That Canadian Guy ". See you next year!!
