Workshop #2

Choosing a location

This workshop will concentrate on considering your options for building, renovating, or leasing and the impact of budgeting and zoning on your decisions.  

The Ministry of Education has said that all new spaces must be located in priority neighbourhoods.  Michele will discuss finding those key spaces and negotiating access to spaces. She will also touch on how municipal bylaws will affect different locations and types of spaces. Finally, Michele will examine costs – the viability of lease costs, the many inclusions that must be considered in lease costs including contingencies for major repairs in your cost calculations.
