Heather Bonnycastle QC of McLeod & Company LLP is chairing our full-day program entitled  “Condominiums” on the Saturday of our upcoming 45th Annual Refresher Course–Real Estate. We chatted with Heather to bring to you further insight into what you can expect from this full-day seminar.

When asked who would find this session useful and why, Heather states, “Approximately one-half of all residential real estate in urban areas of Alberta is being developed as condominium ownership. It is vital that anyone practising real estate must understand the complexities and nuances of condominium law. Attendance at this seminar would enhance all aspects of a real estate practice”.
