Don't Think the CAT's Jurisdiction Should Include Owners' Meetings❓ The Ontario Government has asked for input from stakeholders in #Condoland about expanding the jurisdiction of the Condominium Authority Tribunal to include issues related to owners' meetings, and other matters. These changes proposed by the government are purportedly under consideration because they are believed to be of benefit concerning the housing crisis. It remains unclear to many how adding jurisdiction over meetings to the CAT's purview, with the likely outcome of grinding the CAT and many condo communities to a halt, will be of any assistance in addressing the housing issues we face. The deadline to send your feedback is July 11, 2024! 📅 Don't miss out on having your voice heard! ✏ Here is the government's online survey form for feedback on these proposed changes: https://lnkd.in/eaFBcKA6 #CAT #CondoAuthorityTribunal #condomanagement #condolaw #condoindustry #condoboard #ownersrights #protectdirectors

Attention all disabled Linkers, and their friends, neighbours, family, work colleagues..... Urgent call out!! *Needed by Monday* Please help make accessing employment, transport, healthcare, recreational facilities and many more places less of a barrier for disabled people! Access isn't just a ramp....and actually, did you know that despite the global symbol for disability being someone in a wheelchair, just 8% of disabled people are wheelchair users! Why do people need to see where they're going ahead of visiting somewhere new? Here's some reasons I can think of: Neurodivergent folk like me, can feel extremely anxious when planning a new journey. Those of us with spinal disabilities, need to know if there's enough suitable and supportive seats, at regular intervals for us to rest. Will all the seats be standard conference seats at an event, if so I need to see those chairs, because they may hurt me and cause me more disabilities (pain exacerbates my conditions). All of the above anxiety & potential injury, can be alleviated or avoided if I could see the venue, ahead of me planning to go! It is a game changer! Now, I've already filled this questionnaire out for Ocean3D.co.uk but Chris Wood needs your help....as the more people who have their say, the more chances of Chris getting GOV.UK to successfully implement this so it benefits all of us! #Disability #AccessibilityMatters #HelpNeeded Tagging in some people who might be able to help: Jamie Shields Celia Chartres-Aris (née Hensman) Sandra Bentley Isaac Harvey MBE Gavin Neate Colin B. Jodie 💜 Greer Emma Shepherd Please complete the survey ASAP! See OP 👀 ⬇️

Transition Tips for Career Civil Servants Mike Mears and I, both longtime career public servants, have published a compendium of 'Transition Tips' that are summarized in Gov Exec and linked below (https://lnkd.in/g_GYj_25). You can also find the full text on various Web sites, including mine (www.publicvirtu.com). Our point in all of this is to tell our civil service brothers and sisters to avoid panicking; after all, they--or their predecessors--have been through this before, so they need to take a deep breath, remember that they're there to do whatever "We the People" want, despite all of the inflammatory rhetoric, and do the detailed work necessary to show our new bosses the right/legal way to go about it. And to officials in the new Administration, don't be turned off or diverted by the "Survival Guide" label...if anything, it underscores the point that career civil servants are hired to do the people's business, whether they agree with it or not. Rather, we are here to serve, whomever is in office

Have you ever, or do you know anyone, who has ever sat down, or is thinking about sitting down? Well, if that's the case, pull up a chair and spend 3 minutes on a few questions about preloved furniture. This short survey is helping to gather data not only so I can complete my MBA, but also so I can identify some ways we can prevent furniture from landfill or incineration, both of which are devastating for our planet, and also, what a shame to waste that handy old...whatever it is! Thanks in advance, follow this link to the survey; https://lnkd.in/ePz-zUMt

Successful local government employees live and breathe core public service values like integrity, transparency, accountability, and community service. Here are 4 powerful ways to highlight these values in your council interview: ✔️ Integrity. Share a situation where you chose honesty over convenience. Councils want to see your commitment to ethical behavior. ✔️ Transparency. Discuss how you’ve practiced open communication, ensuring clarity and preventing misunderstandings. ✔️ Accountability. Give examples of taking responsibility, even if it meant owning up to a mistake. Show how you’ve learned and grown from these experiences. ✔️ Community Service. Highlight ways you’ve contributed to community projects or initiatives, demonstrating your passion for serving others. 💡 Framing your answers around these values will show that you don’t just understand their importance - you live them.
