    Condominium News and Views To the Members and Friends of The Manitoba Chapter • November 2013 A HiGH-Rise CONDO ComPLEX Goes TotaLLY NoN-smoKING In June 2013, one of the Winnipeg’s earliest high-rise condo complexes voted overwhelmingly to adopt a totally smoke-free environment - not just in the common areas, but in all individual living units and balconies as well. It was a bold step, and one of the first of its kind in Canada. The Board of Directors thought that other Boards and Owners may be interested in knowing how this was done. The following is a brief description of the steps that were taken, some of the bumps in the road, and how the issues were resolved by everyone as matters progressed. A few obstacles were very apparent from the beginning. A 75% endorsement of those attending the next Annual General Meeting was needed to amend the by-laws. The Board was fairly confident that could be achieved. However, an 80% endorsement of all of the Owners, even those not living in Manitoba, was required to amend the Declaration. The Board embarked on a campaign to achieve both of these objectives. Board minutes during the winter outlined the plan, the Board’s unanimous endorsement of it, and outlined three points that were critically important: • The adverse effects of inhaling second-hand smoke are beyond dispute; • Careless smoking poses a fire hazard to all residents and visitors; • Legal advisors across the country are warning Boards and Owners that they may be financially liable for failing to protect non-smokers from the effects of drifting second hand smoke That started the discussion amongst the Owners in the hallways, the elevators and by telephone.

  • Bill 202 and Manitoba's Future in the New West Partnership
    The New West: Bill 202 and Manitoba’s Future in the New West Partnership JOSHUA MORRY I. INTRODUCTION ill 202, The Participation of Manitoba in the New West Partnership Act,1 is a Private Member’s Bill introduced by Progressive Conservative B (PC) MLA Heather Stefanson in the Fourth session of the Fortieth Legislature of Manitoba. It is the fourth time that the Opposition has attempted to pass such a bill.2 If the Bill were to be enacted, within one year of its coming into force, the Government of Manitoba would be compelled to “communicate [with the governments of British Columbia, Alberta and Saskatchewan]…the desire of the government to join the New West Partnership and its intention to commence negotiations with those governments as soon as possible.”3 While the Bill has not yet faced second reading, it is clear that the current Government does not support the Bill, and it seems to be intended more to influence public opinion than to compel executive action. This paper will begin by providing a brief history and outline of the New West Partnership (NWP). It will then look at the Government of Manitoba’s view of the NWP, and the three other NWP Bills that the PCs have proposed. Finally, this paper will examine Bill 202 itself, focusing on the arguments presented in favour of and against the Bill by both the Government and Opposition. While some of the benefits and drawbacks of the NWP will be evaluated, it is not the purpose of this paper to determine whether the NWP would be good for Manitoba in any objective 1 Bill 202, The Participation of Manitoba in the New West Partnership Act, 4th Sess, 40th Leg, Manitoba, 2014 [Bill 202].
