After several years at Swan-e-Set, it was time to move back to the old home of our golf tournament. Surrey seems to be a more preferential distance for most people. Also new this year were two ATV hole in one prizes, and the addition of several amazing specialty alcohol baskets to the prize draw. Little else changed though, with 288 golfers, free massage, contests and so many fantastic hole sponsors. See who won the contests by clicking 'Read More' below.

 Events & Education
With municipal elections and government policy on everyone’s minds, we invite you to hear from the Minister for Municipal Affairs and Housing and Minister Responsible for TransLink, Honourable Selina Robinson. Hear about new initiatives taking place in her ministry to address important issues for our industry such as affordable housing, property taxes, regional transportation infrastructure and changes to cannabis regulations.
BOMA tested out a new educational format where each of the speakers had just 15 minutes to present, followed by an hour of informal networking/table top Q&A. Each speaker had a high top table at the back of the room, and attendees were encouraged to go directly to the speaker to ask questions. The intent was to initiate conversations and share information between participants.
