TORONTO, ON, December 1, 2006 — On November 30, 2006, the Federation of Rental-housing Providers of Ontario (FRPO) held its 21st Annual General Meeting and 6th Annual Industry Awards ceremony at the Metro Toronto Convention Center. These events serve to celebrate the businesses and individuals across the province that are leaders in our industry.
FRPO’s Marketing, Achievement and Construction (MAC) awards promote professionalism and advance the high standards FRPO has promoted for over two decades. Attended by over 470 members, industry representatives and guests, the evening recognized the achievements of FRPO members throughout 2006. Yardi is pleased to announce that 10 of 14 awards were granted to industry leaders who use Yardi software to manage their diverse portfolios.
Nominees competed to receive the distinguished MAC award in different categories of residential rental property management, such as Property Manager of the Year, Rental Development of the Year, and Property Management Web site.
The quality of the submissions demonstrated our industry’s commitment to improving standards across Ontario. This year’s competition was strong and, as usual, included the best in the business.
On behalf of all members, FRPO wishes to extend its congratulations to the 2006 MAC award winners:
