When Larry Cadorin heard about BOMA BC's recent Christmas event, he was reminded of how 25 years earlier, he met his future wife. It was December 1985, at the Hotel Vancouver where Larry met Rhonda, at the BOMA Christmas Luncheon. While he doesn't recall the exact date, he remembers that Ian Beverage was the executive director of BOMA at the time.

Larry retired from the elevator industry 10 years ago, and Rhonda is retiring this May (from the International Union of Elevator Constructors). Prior to this she worked for Schindler, Western Elevators, the Aquilinis and Western Elevator. Larry worked at Computrol, M.A.D. Elevator Fixture, Dupar Controls, Delco/Eltec Elevators and Roco Distributors.

The staff at BOMA were delighted to hear their story, and look forward to once again hosting events where professionals can expand their network.

Early last fall, the Vancouver Police Department (VPD) started an initiative called the Trespass Prevention Pilot Project, which allowed VPD officers to take proactive measures in removing trespassers from private properties without the need for service calls or direct involvement from an owner or property representative. This program began as a pilot project which included properties between the 600 and 1200 blocks of Granville Street, along with selected adjacent properties where street disorder and trespassing incidents were most prevalent.

The VPD has been given the green light to enter the next phase of the Trespass Prevention Program, which includes a downtown-wide rollout. Any business or strata in the downtown core is able to register. If you are interested, contact Constable Woods at trespasspreventionprogram@vpd.ca for additional information.
