Hearing Mayor Dean Fortin address the agents at The Professionals Networking lunch last week was a real treat. As real estate professionals interoffice networking is so important because it allows us to better serve our clients by directly networking their homes listed for sale to dozens of agents. It also gives our buyers a leg up because we’re often first to hear about the hottest listings hitting the market.
In addition to networking at this month’s event, our group was kept abreast of not only real estate activity in Victoria but of what our local officials are doing to make Victoria one of the best places in the world to live.
Among many important topics the mayor discussed how important a vibrant Downtown core is to any major city and highlighted that if the vitality of a city’s downtown was lost that the effects could be devastating and it’s recovery difficult. He cited examples of cities such as Detroit that have taken decades to rebound and restore liveliness to their city centres. To maintain both daytime and nightly patronage of Victoria’s downtown programs like the Clean and Safe project have been successfully implemented and continue to improve.
It truly was great of Mayor Dean Fortin to speak to our group and share his vision for Victoria with us. All of the efforts and developments made by council are too many to list here but more information can be found at www.victoria.ca.
