JULY 2015 HOME OF THE BEST APPRAISERS IN CANADA ANNUAL CONVENTION The CNAREA Annual Convention began on Wednesday, June 3, with an enjoyable tour to the 40 Knots Winery where members had the opportunity to taste some great local wines and then continued on to the Shelter Point Distillery for more sampling of their products and a tasty lunch. The annual President’s Reception commenced back at the hotel at 5:30 PM and was followed by a spectacular dinner. Thursday started with a presentation of the Standards update course followed by the annual golf tournament and dinner for all at the golf course. Friday was meeting day with both the Annual General Meeting and the Annual Board of Directors Meeting. The afternoon was filled with a great presentation by the legal counsel from our insurance provider. Everyone then attended the Annual Beach BBQ for some really good local steak, salmon, and prawns along with 8 different wines to taste and enjoy. Member of the Year was awarded to James Carty, DAR, Certified Appraisal Reviewer for the Ottawa region and Candidate Member of the Year went to Brianne Bors from Mannville, Alberta. Saturday was an education day with three different courses offered and dinner at a local beachfront restaurant. Thanks to our guests Eric Matte, President of the ATEFQ and the representatives of the Real Estate Council of Alberta (RECA) Jean Flanagan and John Farmer. Your representation was much appreciated. This was one of the best conventions yet affording for some really interesting meaningful discussions amongst the members, the guests, and the sponsors. Thank you to all who attended and special thanks to all of our sponsors who make it all possible with their generous contributions. We are already into the planning for next year, the dates will be June 1, 2, 3, & 4, with a new and exciting schedule of events. 888-399-3366 MEMBER OF THE YEAR JAMES E.
