Condo Owners Face Insurance Concerns
Strata property owners - and those who rent from them - are looking at unprecedented costs, while some strata buildings risk losing their insurance entirely...A lack of competition in the market across North America, combined with massive payouts that insurance firms have had to shell out due to increasing severe weather events damaging buildings, have led to the premium increase and in some cases refusal of building insurance. Without insurance there are no sales, no mortgages and if there's a loss in the building, everybody loses everything."

Emerald Residents Mixed Response
to RMOW Land Purchase

While many Emerald Estates residents are happy with the Resort Municipality of Whistler's (RMOW) purchase of a residential lot to restore recreation access behind the neighbourhood, the deal isn't striking everyone the same way. Access to the Crown land surrounding the neighbourhood—which includes One Duck Lake and trails for hiking and mountain biking, as well as a wiffle golf course—has effectively been cut off in recent years due to private development, leaving residents frustrated. By purchasing the $1.7 million lot, the RMOW plans to restore access—though planning for how exactly that will work is still in the very early stages, according to a municipal spokesperson. The lot currently holds a four-bedroom house that the RMOW intends to eventually use for employee housing. Many residents will no doubt have questions concerning signage, parking, garbage, fire risk and more. Read the Full Pique News Article Here.
