You can drive to Charlotte Lake. It takes about 4 hours to get there from Williams Lake It is 24 kilometres from Nimpo Lake. If you have a map of the area and are adventurous there are several parts of the big lake that are accessible by road.


It is harder to get access by road to Little Charlotte, but you can drive close to it and then walk. There is a lot of unorganized camping as well as a Forest Service Rec site at the lake. There is no power to the lake, nor is there telephone service.

Charlotte Lake itself is quite large - it is roughly 20 kilometres long and 5 wide. It reaches depths of 300 feet. There are sand and gravel beaches all around it.

Fishing in both lakes is good. In Charlotte Lake itself you can have a lot of success trolling for Rainbow Trout and Kokanee.

There are also Kokanee to be had. The Kokanee is a landlocked Sockeye salmon and a good game fish.

The area south of the lakes is sometimes referred to as the Charlotte Alplands. You can also enjoy hiking and mountain biking there. There are extensive trails and logging roads to be

Strata Meeting Procedures

A Vancouver property manager has to know how to conduct a strata council meeting. Without this understanding you will have problems running meetings. Nothing will be accomplished and everyone will get stressed out.

The object of parliamentary procedure is clear and straighforward. It is to transact assembly business in an efficient and orderly manner. It is a good way to ensure that the assembly actually accomplishes it's goals.

Parliamentary law has certain principles.. They include equality and justice for all. Majority rules apply, but minority opinions must be heard and respected.There is a right to be heard by proxy.

Some customs and rules have become quite common. These have become known as common parliamentary laws. All assembly members should be familiar with these laws.

Only one question can be considered at a time. It must be presented to the assembly as a formal motion. It has to be proposed by one person and seconded by another. The presiding officer or chair must re-state the motion clearly. Once that is done the assembly can address the question.

Before they speak the chair must recognize assembly members. This includes making motions or speaking to motions. This is accomplished by asking the chair for recognition, often while rising. When this is done the speaker "has the floor".

Nobody can dominate the assembly by speaking too long. No one can speak on the same subject or motion twice. If the assembly permits it this last rule can be bent. However, before this can occur all other gathering members who wish to speak on the question must have an opportunity.

Nobody can't address remarks to directly to another gathering member. Nor can the speaker use another gathering member's name when it can be avoided. Instead, all remarks should be directed to the Chair.

When a question is put before a gathering there are only three ways to handle it. The first is to adopt it throufgh voting. The assembly can also vote to reject the motion or question. If neither one of those routes are chosen the assembly must dispose of the motion in some other way, such as having the proposer withdraw it. There are rare motions taht do not fall into one of these three categories, and are referred to as "privileged".

dealing with a motion requires 8 steps. First, the proposer rises and addresses the Chair. Next the person making the motion waits for recognition from the Chair. The speaker then says "I move..." and expresses the motion to the assembly. Another person then has to second the motion for it to proceed. The motion is then clearly stated by the Chair so everyone understands the wording. The matter is then open for discussion and debate. Members may rise and state "I wish to speak in favour of..." or "I rise to speak against...". When discussion is over the Chair calls the motion to a vote. The Chair then reports the vote result and what the action will be, if any.

It's prediction time again. What will real estate prices in the Greater Vancouver market do in 2012?

Most outlooks are for stagnation or price drops. Prices have been falling since June, even though we're still higher than last December.

Will prices continue to fall? Or will local real estate compete well against other assets and gain ground?

Tsur Somerville, from the Sauder School of Business, sees flat or little price growth in 2012.

Robyn Adamache, from the Vancouver CMHC office, was quoted as saying “We’re expecting much less price growth this year compared to 2011...We’re calling for about a two-to-three-per-cent increase in price growth in 2012, close to the rate of inflation.”


BMO, on the other hand, predicts Vancouver will have a hot housing market again in 2012.

Personally? It's election year in the US. There's an old rule of thumb that says interest rates don't go up when the president is seeking re-election. Add in the dismal state of the US economy. Rates will stay low. Low rates means you can hold real estate. Highly leveraged people cannot sell at a loss unless they inject cash. At low rates more of those people can pay mortgages. In short, I can't see what will force sales at lower and lower prices...unless long term holders entering their golden years decide it's time to cash out.

I expect the Canadian economy to remain fairly stable, and to continue to compare well globally. I'm calling for 0%-5% increases in prices December 31, 2011 to December 31, 2012.

What say you?
