If you’ve ever wondered what your timeshare is worth on the resale market, you’re in good company. It’s one of the most common questions owners ask, and the good news is that the answer puts you in control.

A planned ribbon-cutting ceremony last month was delayed as the Trump administration looked to renegotiate a long-standing agreement between Canada and the U.S.
It said Canada and the U.S. agreed to a series of measures on toll governance, “as well as investments in the region, including through the establishment of a 15-year economic development fund tied to a portion of profits from bridge operations.”

Florida Resort Developers, Managers, Owners, and HOAs: Confused About HB 913?

The SIRS update gives communities more time, clarity, and financial tools, but it does not reduce the state’s expectations around long-term building safety. Boards should continue to plan ahead, communicate clearly with owners, and budget responsibly to ensure the association remains compliant and financially stable.

Skijoring, pronounced skee-JORR-ing, is a unique winter sport where skiers are pulled behind galloping horses and can perform tricks, including soaring off snow-packed ramps.
For five years, it was a big part of Banff’s winter festival. But the snowballing popularity caused problems.
