Tips for managing your HMO Managing an HMO is an ongoing process. Even when you think you have filled the property and have the perfect combination of tenants, it is unlikely to last long. By their very nature, tenancies in HMOs tend to be short and more changeable. Read more -> https://lnkd.in/etHxtN7G

In 2018, a group of leaders came together to imagine what could be possible when we collaborate and share information to drive innovation and reduce building emissions. As the founding chair of the Smart Sustainable Resilient Infrastructure Association (SSRIA) I could have only imagined the impact we could have in Alberta. 20 projects, each driving change for the built environment, sharing information, innovation, successes and learnings have been able to demonstrate the vision from 2018 is a reality today. This reality wouldn't be possible without the support from Alberta Innovates and Prairies Economic Development Canada I Développement économique Canada pour les Prairies. I am thankful to Stantec's support for the original application for funding and to stand as the lead applicant that kicked off this journey. And increasingly thankful to the Board of Directors, the SSRIA staff (Pamela Goertzen, Alex Joseph, MBA, M.E.Des., Hasnain Baloach) partners, collaborators, innovators and visionaries that have supported through membership, ideas, applications and let's face it darn hard work. Driving change is not easy, especially in an industry as risk adverse as the design and construction industry. Incredibly proud of this organization and the effort of so many. As I have said so many times on this SSRIA path, "if it was easy we would of already done it". Take a minute to watch the video and follow me and SSRIA as future videos of each project are released in the coming weeks and watch for what SSRIA has coming up. Butterwick Projects LTD.

In a recent interview with The Globe and Mail, IMCO’s President and Chief Executive Officer, Bert Clark, discussed the significance of signing on four new clients to our portfolio.   Following a competitive evaluation process, IMCO was selected to provide investment management services to Financial Services Regulatory Authority of Ontario (FSRA), Tarion Warranty Corporation, the City of Ottawa, and Ontario Clean Water Agency. We distinguished ourselves from competing bids by successfully demonstrating how our scale, capacity to make direct investments, and greater access to private market investing gives clients improved access to a broad range of investment opportunities, at an efficient cost.   Bert also described why the addition of these new clients is a vote of confidence for other public-sector pension plans or investment funds in Ontario to join IMCO.   “The reality is most public funds and public organizations don’t like to be first movers. When IMCO courts a new client, it gives us the ability to say, ‘We manage one of those already, you don’t need to be the first.’”   Read the article here: https://lnkd.in/gms7Z-te
