About Canadian Condominium Institute

The Canadian Condominium Institute (CCI) is a non-profit community organization and the only national association in Canada serving as a research centre and clearing house for condominium issues. The London and Area Chapter serves the local condominium community, including directors, homeowners, and industry professionals. It operates with the goal of creating successful and viable condominium communities by representing all facets of the industry rather than any single interest group. The organization provides a variety of resources to assist members in establishing and operating condominium corporations. These offerings include educational courses, seminars, workshops, and technical assistance. Members have access to information dissemination through publications such as the CCI Review and the CCI Newsflash, as well as the Condos-Unplugged podcast series. Additionally, the institute provides a Professional & Business Partner Directory, offers a Resource Centre, and maintains a directory for condominium corporations. The chapter also hosts events like the annual golf tournament and various "Lunch & Learn" sessions on topics such as responsible AI use and avoiding special assessments. Founded in 1982, the CCI describes itself as an independent organization dedicated to improving the condominium image throughout Canada. It works to develop standards of competence in six key areas: law, accounting, property management, insurance, real estate, and building sciences. Members who attain the required standards through education and examination can earn the Professional Associate status (A.C.C.I.) designation. The organization also engages in advocacy by working with provincial governments through Legislative Committees to improve legislation that protects directors and homeowners.
