Hey All ! This was a really informative section; Wow I've never seen a real-estate forum for a complex with so many posts
I had a couple questions about the complex but first a comment for I-Need-To-Know ... re: running on the condo board, you honestly don't need to be overly qualified, just having a passion for the building is by far what's important (I'm speaking from personal experience here

M1 and M2 still have good condo fees in comparison to the rest of Toronto (for buildings of that size).
Any general thoughts about the differences between the two ?
