About Me
Hi there—and welcome!
I’m Edward, a curious mind with a wide range of passions, from community living and classical music to Toronto sports and transit photography. This blog is my little corner of the internet where I share thoughts, experiences, and things that inspire me. Hopefully, you’ll find something here that makes you think, smile, or want to chime in.
Building Communities, Not Just Buildings
One of my core beliefs is that a condominium isn’t just a collection of units managed by a faceless corporation—it’s a community. People live closely together, and when they cooperate, amazing things can happen. That’s why I’m passionate about promoting the idea of the “Condominium Community”—a place where residents take pride in working together and making things better for everyone.
I’ve completed the Condominium Director’s Training Certificate through the Condominium Authority of Ontario (CAO), and I regularly attend seminars with CCI and ACMO to keep growing my knowledge in this area. I also stay active in my own condo, serving on the Social Committee and Garden Committee.
A True Toronto Sports Fan
When I’m not thinking about community-building, you’ll probably find me cheering for my favorite Toronto teams. I still get chills thinking about Joe Carter’s legendary 1993 World Series home run, and I’ll never forget watching Ricky Ray lead the Argos to victory in the 100th Grey Cup. And yes—like every Leafs fan, I believe every year will be the year we break the curse and lift the Stanley Cup!
Music That Moves Me
Music plays a big role in my life—especially the powerful works of Richard Wagner. As the longtime Secretary of the Toronto Wagner Society, I’ve been lucky to help promote and celebrate his legacy. But my musical tastes aren’t one-note: I also love Verdi, Puccini’s Tosca and Turandot, and the witty brilliance of Gilbert & Sullivan. There’s just something magical about live performance and storytelling through music.
A Bit More About Me
I hold a Diploma in Business Administration and a post-grad Certificate in Human Resources Management, both from Humber College, both earned with Honours. Professionally and personally, I enjoy staying involved—whether it’s volunteering at the Assembly Hall in Etobicoke, working at elections, or contributing to community groups.
