arch is always one of my favorite turning points in the transition from Winter to Spring. It is all about change. The days are significantly longer, snow is melting and I get a little spring fever stirring activity around the house and yard. As we move into Spring 2026, there is also a noticeable shift in energy across the condominium community that is less about reacting, and more about preparing. The past six months has reinforced things we’re hearing consistently across our Chapter: that the issues facing condos are becoming more complex, but so too are the tools and conversations available to address them. For the Golden Horseshoe Chapter, our role remains consistent. Grassroots engagement to provide clarity, connection, and practical education in a changing environment that continues to evolve. Our upcoming “Condo Talk” sessions will be covering topics such as contracts, status certificates, and real insurance case studies. These sessions highlight the real-world challenges boards and managers are navigating today. These aren’t theoretical discussions; they are rooted in what is actively happening across our communities. From understanding the fine print in agreements to managing risk and unexpected events, the focus is clear: better-informed decisions lead to stronger communities. Key trends shaping the condominium landscape are increased attention on governance and documentation. Insurance and risk management continue to be front of mind, as corporations face rising costs and more complex claims scenarios. Third, there is a growing integration of technology and innovation, such as AI, e-voting and improved communication tools are here to help boards operate more efficiently and engage owners more effectively. These themes were front and center in recent sessions addressing “today’s condo challenges,” reinforcing that our industry is adapting in real time. At the same time, what hasn’t changed is just as important. The strength of this Chapter continues to come from its people. Our members, volunteers, and business partners. Events like our Lunch & Learns and upcoming “Knowledge Barn” continue to bring together a wide range of expertise, offering practical insights across engineering, legal, financial, and operational areas. These partnerships are not just supportive, they are essential. They allow us to deliver relevant, high-quality education continued… Condo News | SPRING 2026

ondominium living offers many benefits, such as less site maintenance, shared amenities, and fewer weekend trips to the hardware store. However, some of these benefits can quickly become frustrations when owners do not fully understand where their responsibilities end and where the Condominium Corporation’s begin. When considering a condominium, buyers (or existing owners) should familiarize themselves with what that purchase includes and what they are responsible for maintaining, versus what the Condominium is responsible for. Every condominium is different, so it is important for buyers to get a clear understanding of what specifics apply to them.
Terms and Definitions – Condominium Buyer edition A few important terms condominium buyers and owners should familiarize themselves with include: • Common Elements • Unit Boundaries
continued…
Condo News | SPRING 2026

• Standard Unit By-Law • Section 98 Agreement
Common Elements A common element is a building component owned and maintained collectively by all unit owners through the Condominium Corporation, rather than by an individual unit Owner. Maintenance of these elements is generally facilitated by the elected Board Members and/or Property Management. Examples of typical common elements include: • Parking garages • Roofing • Exterior wall cladding • Roadways • Large Mechanical equipment, like boilers, chillers, make-up air units, etc. • Building amenities like pools, saunas, and exercise rooms
Alternatively, some Condominiums purposely have very limited common elements, often called (perhaps ironically) “Common Element Condominium Corporations” (CECCs). These types of condominiums often resemble a typical townhouse site, but only the roadways and buried infrastructure might form part of the common elements, while the roofing and cladding fall back onto individual homeowners to maintain. For some, this could be a nightmare if your neighbour likes Neon Pink siding. Common elements are generally shared by the community, so handling their repair and maintenance collectively makes a lot of sense. Benefits of this arrangement include: • Maintain consistency in terms of aesthetics and repair quality/methodology. • Coordinating larger scopes of work together benefits from economies of scale. • Specialized access (scaffolding, swing stages, 8 GOLDEN HORSESHOE CHAPTER OF THE CANADIAN CONDOMINIUM INSTITUTE
lifts) is more practical when used for multiple repairs instead of ‘one-offs’. A main drawback, however, is that individual unit owners do not have as much control over when and how repairs are completed. When a leak appears in your ceiling, and you are waiting on approvals, tenders, and construction schedules, all of which are in the hands of someone else, that loss of control can feel very real. Frustration often follows. Add human nature, emotions, and Condominium politics, and you have the perfect recipe for heated conversations. Some common elements are not as obvious. These are often defined as “exclusive use common elements”, where one Resident generally has the right to use a common element space, but its repair and maintenance is handled by the Condominium. For example, in apartment-style condominiums, this often includes exterior balconies. In a townhouse community, this might include your driveway or backyard areas. Modifications to an “exclusive use common element” is often a more complex situation to handle. Many owners think they can do whatever they like with these spaces since they are the only ones with the right to use them, but this can be a costly mistake. If you add custom features that obstruct the Condominium from maintaining related common elements, then you could be on the hook for costs of restoring them back to their original as-built condition. A recent example we came across involved custom wooden decks and retaining walls installed along some townhouse backyards. The decks and retaining walls were installed sometime after the original construction, without permission from the Condominium. These features obstructed access to the fencing between the
backyards, which the Condominium was in the process of replacing, bringing the project to a halt until this matter could be sorted out with all the individual unit owners, causing a lengthy delay. Some owners purchased their units with decks and/or retaining walls already in place, unaware that they were not original and had been installed without permission. Now, they may be responsible for the cost of removing them. They might also face restrictions on reinstalling a new deck, turning the backyard oasis they thought they purchased into something less ideal. It is an unfortunate, no-win situation for everyone involved, which often falls to Property Managers to deliver bad news and address these issues.
Unit Boundaries Where your unit ends, and common elements begin, is typically outlined by the unit boundaries defined in ‘Schedule C’ of the Condominium’s Declaration, read in combination with referenced drawings. Vertical and Condo News | SPRING 2026

horizontal boundaries, as well as any unique cases, should be defined in detail to avoid interpretation or ambiguity. Declarations include legalese-type wording that can be difficult to understand for those of us without a law degree. Below is an example of how they might be worded: Each Residential unit is horizontally bounded by: i. The backside surface and plane of the drywall on all exterior walls or walls separating units from each other or other common element areas. ii. The plane formed by the interior surface of all exterior doors, windows, and glass panels. How these definitions are worded is extremely important, as they can have significant implications. In recent years, these definitions are generally more well thought out with better details for future maintenance considerations. However, buyers beware when purchasing an older condominium, as these documents are infrequently amended and may include outdated wording that is impractical from a construction perspective. As an example, we have seen some poorly written unit boundary definitions, where window frames are defined as a common element, but the glass panes are the responsibility of individual unit owners. This creates a logistical nightmare when it comes time to replace the windows. Window frames cannot be replaced without replacing the glass. So would it be fair or practical to ask every individual unit Owner to coordinate to have the glass replaced themselves after the new window frames are installed? Absolutely not. Would it be fair then for the Condo to include new glass with the window replacement, but then special assess each individual unit Owner for the “extra” cost of glass? Perhaps, but this is a question we would like to ask the Lawyer who drafted this clause.
Section 98 Agreement Given all these rules and legalese, you may be wondering, how does one get permission to modify a common element? Enter a Section 98 agreement. A Section 98 agreement is a formal agreement that sets out the terms that would allow an Owner to modify a common element area. It will stipulate what is permitted under the proposed modifications and who is responsible for any extra costs associated with maintaining the common elements.
In general, these agreements place the onus and related costs for these modifications on the Owner, while protecting the Owner’s right to have them. Section 98 Agreements are registered on the property Title, meaning future buyers, who would also be bound by this agreement, should be made aware of them during a related Title search. Without a Section 98 agreement in place, a unit Owner could incur significant costs, including legal costs to settle a potential dispute, construction delay costs, and additional Management or Engineering fees. From a Condominium Board or Corporation perspective, a lack of properly documented Section 98 Agreements could set poor precedents within the community, lower building standards, and compromise the building’s integrity.
Standard Unit By-Laws Standard Unit By-Laws are a general description of the types of finishes installed by the original developer. This often includes builder-grade cabinets, painted drywall, inexpensive vinyl flooring or carpets, etc. Why are Standard Unit By-Laws important to a new Owner? Because the insurance for the Condominium Corporation is usually only required to cover the cost to repair the unit to these standards. Meaning that if you add custom mahogany built-in cabinets and they are damaged by a water leak, even if it is caused by a common element deficiency, the Condominium and its insurance are likely only responsible for repairs to bring the unit back to the Standard Unit Definition.
Conclusion Condominium living suits the lifestyles of many residents, especially those who prefer a hands-off approach to home maintenance. But that convenience comes with complications. Understanding common elements, unit boundaries, and modification rules specific to each individual condominium is essential before purchasing what is likely the largest asset of your life. There is an evident education gap in real estate transactions when it comes to condominium ownership. While Realtors and Real Estate Lawyers are in the best position to close that gap since they interact directly with buyers and should be guiding them through these documents in plain language, owners and prospec-

tive buyers must also take responsibility for educating themselves. Current and future owners can protect themselves by: • Requesting and reviewing the Declaration, By Laws, and Condominium Rules before purchasing • Asking specific questions about common elements and exclusive use areas. • Confirming whether there are any Section 98 Agreements on Title and what they entail. • Confirming whether any significant modifications have been made that might affect the Common Elements or Standard Unit Definition. • Consulting Realtors, Lawyers, and Property Managers • Speaking with current owners or Board members when possible.
and disappointment later. We know a few Property Managers who would agree. When owners are informed, the communities operate more smoothly, restoration projects face fewer delays and complications, and fewer people are caught off guard. Condominium living can be an excellent lifestyle choice. It simply works best when everyone understands the lines that separate personal liberties and Condominium responsibilities. Sharing knowledge about shared living goes a long way.

EVENT SYNOPSIS
Event Synopsis - Turbulence Ahead – Steering Through Today’s Condo Challenges
Turbulence Ahead – Steering Through Today’s Condo Challenges Friday, February 6, 2026 Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum, Mount Hope, ON
T
he CCI Golden Horseshoe Professional and Business Partners Committee hosted another successful Lunch & Learn event, bringing together industry professionals to explore emerging trends affecting condominium corporations across the Golden Horseshoe. This year marked the third consecutive event held at the Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum—our largest audience yet of condominium directors and managers. Speakers included Luka Milidragovic (Condominium Lending Group), Salim Dharssi (Managemate), Patrick Grecco (Shibley Righton LLP), and David Mendel (Aura Signature Realty). The session was moderated by Kevin Shaw of Cion Engineers & Building Scientists. Below is a synopsis of the presentations delivered during the event.
Luka Milidragovic – Underfunding of Reserve Funds Luka opened with a sobering statistic from the Auditor General of Ontario’s 2020 report, noting that 69% of surveyed condo boards lacked adequate reserve funds for major repairs. Combined with sharp cost escalation, many Ontario condominiums now face significant reserve shortfalls. Statistics Canada data shows that the Greater Toronto Area experienced an 87% increase in residential construction inflation between 2019 and 2024. As Luka explained, inflation far outpaced the conservative assumptions historically used in reserve fund studies, leaving many corporations unprepared. He then discussed a common knee-jerk reaction: deferring repairs. Boards must weigh this approach carefully. Key considerations include: • Health and safety • Unit values and marketability • Owner comfort • Whether viable alternatives exist Condo News | FALL 2025

Luka also outlined short-term funding strategies for corporations facing reserve deficits, including special assessments, loans, or hybrid solutions to bridge the financial gap.
Salim Dharssi – Communication: What Leading Communities Are Doing in 2026 Salim explored the dramatically shifting communication landscape. With virtual tools now ubiquitous, mobile technology standard, and AI enabling instant information access, expectations for condominium communication have fundamentally changed. In 2026, stakeholders increasingly expect: • Opportunities to participate • Transparent and accessible information • Rapid, responsive communication Communication is no longer merely administrative—it is integral to operational success. Different audiences have distinct needs: • Boards want concise, decision-ready updates. • Managers want full context without duplicating effort. • Owners want clarity, transparency, and easy engagement. Salim emphasized that traditional communication methods are breaking down. Email overload, paper-based processes, and one-channel approaches no longer meet modern expectations. Emerging trends shaping effective condo communication include: • Centralized communication platforms • Transparency through audit trails • Data-driven decision making According to Salim, leading communities in 2026 are: • Designing communication intentionally • Separating information sharing from decision making • Centralizing records and engagement tools • Using multiple channels to engage diverse audiences His message was clear: more communication isn’t better—better communication is.
Patrick Grecco – CAO Guide on Procuring Goods and Services Patrick began with four key principles from the CAO procurement guide: 1. Procurement as Governance High-risk and requiring transparency, legal compliance, and deliberate planning. 2. Contract A and Contract B • Contract A begins when the tender is issued and requires fairness. • Contract B is formed with the winning bidder. 3. The Importance of Early Planning Boards must prepare months in advance to avoid rushed decisions and inflated pricing. 4. Engaging Experts Early 14 GOLDEN HORSESHOE CHAPTER OF THE CANADIAN CONDOMINIUM INSTITUTE
continued…
Engineers, lawyers, and managers provide essential guidance on scope, legal compliance, and communication. Building on Luka’s presentation, Patrick covered the risks of deferred repairs—including sudden financial pressure, increased future costs, legal exposure for failing to maintain common elements, and potential insurance issues. Patrick also addressed the growing challenge of re-tendering due to higher-than-expected bids. Boards should: • Avoid asking bidders to reduce pricing unless permitted • Honour all Contract A obligations • Revise tender documents before re-issuing • Maintain fairness by never sharing prior bid prices Regarding Contract B, Patrick warned of the risks of extended payment arrangements, which may conflict with the Condominium Act or Construction Act and alter contractual obligations. Legal advice is essential before accepting such terms; conventional financing is typically safer. He also noted that improperly terminating a contract can expose corporations to significant damages. Boards must act reasonably, in good faith, and with legal guidance. A negotiated settlement may often be the best risk-management strategy.
David Mendel – A Condo Cautionary Tale David shared a real-life story from his time as a condominium director—a cautionary example of how poor communication and governance failures can spiral quickly. The issue began with concerns about how reserve funds were being invested. The property manager recommended transferring funds to an outside investment firm promising higher returns. Questions arose about whether the proposed investments complied with the Condominium Act. From there, the situation deteriorated: • Funds were moved without proper authorization • Board composition shifted multiple times • Management issues escalated • The Property Manager’s licence was revoked • Several long and costly court battles followed David’s experience underscored the importance of transparency, compliance, strong communication, and diligence—especially when dealing with reserve funds and investment decisions.

Fan Coil Retrofits Done Right - Case Study William Shin, BA Unilux CRFC
Y
our condominium enters its 20-year mid-life crisis, and your fan coils are due for replacement – where do you start? What began with a discussion on a tradeshow floor, we dive into a case study of what to expect, and the steps necessary to successfully execute a large-scale capital retrofit project.
Aging Fan Coils A fan coil unit (FCU) is the in-suite equipment that provides heating and cooling as part of a building’s central HVAC system. According to the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE), the leading global organization of all things HVAC, fan coils typically have a useful lifespan of about 20 years, at which point there is an increased risk of floods, mould, and compromised air quality. Water damage is already the leading cause of condominium insurance claims, accounting for more than 70% of cases. Aging fan coils can contribute to these issues. Valves may fail or seize, drain pans can rust, debris may clog drain lines, and fittings can loosen over time — all of which can lead to leaks or major floods. In addition to flooding, moisture and dust accumulation can foster mould growth overtime, especially when left untreated. As air circulates through the unit, the insulation inside may deteriorate, releasing fiberglass particles and mold spores into the air, leading to compromised air quality.
It All Starts with an Assessment In this case study, a 21-year-old condominium complex consisting of two high-rise towers and townhomes began investigating the condition of its fan coils after the maintenance provider raised concerns. To confirm the findings, the board and condominium manager brought in a fan coil manufacturer for a second opinion. The assessment identified several areas of concern and confirmed the equipment was reaching the end of its useful life. The board then fulfilled its fiduciary responsibility to the community by clearly communicating the risks to owners and recommending a building-wide replacement program. Because the fan coils were the responsibility of individual owners rather than the condominium corporation, participation in the program was voluntary — making the project more challenging. The key question became: how would the board convince hundreds of owners to take action and commit to a large and unexpected expense? 16 GOLDEN HORSESHOE CHAPTER OF THE CANADIAN CONDOMINIUM INSTITUTE
Communicating with Owners The project was expected to commence before cooling season to minimize flood issues. This time was used to clearly communicate to nearly 700 owners why the retrofit project was needed, how it would be executed, and ultimately at what cost. To help owners understand the issue, the board had allowed for a townhall meeting for all residents. A hybrid presentation format was used as many of the landlords were overseas, and specialized AV equipment was brought in to ensure a high-quality broadcast. It was a tremendous success as nearly 200 people had attended. Communication continued through multiple channels including emails, lobby signage, elevator screens, and building notices. Owners were also offered several payment options to make participation easier. Once orders were confirmed, the responsibility was now on the
manufacturer to ensure that the new equipment met not only the building’s specifications, but the quality and performance standards set out by HVAC governing bodies such as Intertek (ETL certification) and the Air Conditioning, Heating, and Refrigeration Institute (AHRI440 certification).
From Production to Installation It is essential that the original specifications found in the mechanical drawings be reviewed before production. Twenty years ago, many performance specifications had been done by hand and may not be deemed up to par with today’s standards. Physical coil sizes should be measured and inputted into AHRI 410 software to ensure that they meet specific performance, capacity, and efficiency standards. The scope of work included changing the 20+ year old isolation valves connected to each fan coil, requiring the building’s risers to be drained. It is essential that this step
is not overlooked for the safety of the contractor, residents, and the building as a whole. Old valves can fail unexpectedly, and draining the system prevents the risk of a major flood during installation. During installation, contractors followed the Environmental Abatement Council of Ontario (EACO) Level 2 protocol – a strict remediation standard used for medium-scale mold contamination. Each work area was sealed inside a containment tent with negative air pressure and HEPA filtration, while the old units were removed. This allowed residents to remain safely in their suites during the work. One unexpected challenge occurred in the townhome portion of the complex. The riser diagrams were outdated and the associated riser valves no longer functioned. To avoid delaying the overall project, the townhomes were scheduled last while the plumbing team replaced the failed valves and mapped the correct riser layout. continued…

The Benefits of Modern Fan Coils
while operating noise drops by about 25 decibels.
Fan coil technology continues to improve with time. Older fiberglass insulation is now replaced with closed-cell foam that resists moisture and microbial growth. Drain pans are now made of stainless steel instead of galvanized steel, reducing the risk of corrosion. Modern units also feature improved drainage designs and built-in flood sensors that shut the system down if water is detected. Another major upgrade is the motor technology. Older fan coils use Permanent Split Capacitor (PSC) motors, while new units use Electronically Commutated Motors (ECM). These motors can operate at multiple speeds, improving efficiency, increasing airflow, and reducing noise. Studies have shown that airflow improves by roughly 25%,
Proactive, Not Reactive The board and agents on behalf of the corporation took the initiative to have their fan coils assessed at the end of their 20-year life span. It didn’t take a catastrophic flood, nor was it prompted by a large-scale mechanical failure of the existing equipment. The contractor was also given permission to spread the retrofit offering over 3-years to accommodate for as many owners as possible. It wasn’t just a matter of technical execution, but administrative coordination to move into years 2 & 3 as well. A collaboration between owners, board of directors, building staff, and contractors. Whether the assets are owned by the corporation or the owners
themselves, it is imperative to have your mechanical systems routinely inspected, serviced, and maintained. If ever in doubt, a complimentary fan coil assessment can provide the tools and information needed to better plan for replacement.

Tool Talk The mandate for the Professional Partners Committee has always been to promote and grow a network of trusted professionals for the benefit of all CCI members. To that end much of our focus has been organizing networking events where we bring together our business partners with our CCI members. The majority of these events are planned as educational seminars where our professionals present on a wide variety of topics that the Committee feels will benefit our membership. The Tool Talk series of videos will provide some behind the scenes views of our professionals to highlight a few of the many services our experts provide to their condo clients. The idea is for these short videos (3 to 4 minutes each), to give our membership a behind the scenes look at our experts at work. Many of these clips will be a view of activities/operations which may never have been seen/witnessed by our members before. Some of the first videos will focus on engineering, contracting and emergency/ disaster response. The video clips will be uploaded to the CCI Golden Horseshoe website for easy viewing access and a library of multiple topics/insights will be created. We hope the clips will provide a fun and interesting look “behind the curtain” with our professionals while also educating the viewers on the methods, materials, operations utilized to inspect, resolve and repair typical problems being faced by condominiums within our community. You can review our current library of videos here:

Preparation for Spring and Summer: A Check List for Corporations and Unit Owners Carole Booth
Maria Desforges
Property Management Guild
O
nce again, it is that time of the year! Late winter, early spring signals the time when management and superintendents start to prepare the property for the upcoming seasonal change – winter to spring and summer! The extent of amenities and outdoor features your condominium has, will determine what needs to be done and when. At the same time, unit owners are also starting to think about getting their exclusive use common element area (such as patio/deck or balcony) ready for being outside and enjoying the warmer weather. The Manager and/or Superintendent in conjunction with Board members should review the corporations “to do list” for spring/summer. By doing a walk around, a visual check of the grounds (i.e., drains. sidewalks, roadways, trees), building (i.e., windows, caulking, downspouts/eaves, roofs), etc. can be accomplished. You may want to invite a representative from your landscaping company to join you to assess the conditions of the grounds; thus, snow clearing damages can be identified and repaired to the gardens and grounds.
Condo News | SPRING 2026

The sooner the process is started, weather permitting, the better prepared your corporation will be! Be prepared! In order to make sure that tasks get done in a timely manner, be sure to book dates with vendors early - in plenty of time to make sure everything is scheduled and completed so that everyone can enjoy the spring/summer season. This is especially the case for eaves cleaning and window washing (if applicable). By beginning the process early, it provides the needed time to make required repairs, and it also allows for the availability of contractors, as they are all very busy in the spring. As well, unit owners can be reminded of items that they may need to do to prepare their unit and or exclusive use common element with a newsletter, notice or tip sheet. Unit owners should notify their property manager of items that need to be repaired. The information provided has been divided into two main categories – the responsibilities of the Management and/or the Superintendent and the responsibilities of the unit owner.

Notification should include the contact information (name[s], telephone number[s], email address) of any person(s) responsible for the unit during the owner’s absence, together with vehicle details if the owner’s parking
8. As well, check with your household insurance company re their policy on shutting off the main water tap when away and if there is a designated timeline.

Condominium Corporation Secures Eviction, Forced Sale, and Full Costs at First Court Appearance
I
n a decisive ruling in Halton Standard Condominium Corp. No. 703 v. Howe, 2025 ONSC 7260, the Ontario Superior Court granted a condominium corporation one of the most extraordinary remedies available under condominium law: an immediate eviction and forced sale order on the very first court appearance, together with full indemnity legal costs. The application arose after a long pattern of escalating misconduct by unit owner, Jennifer Howe. Numerous witnesses provided unchallenged evidence of violent, threatening, and dangerous acts that spanned more than a year and ranged from attempted and successful break-ins (including one involving a knife), to carrying weapons in common areas, to repeated harassment, property damage, and false emergency calls. Residents reported being afraid

to leave their units, and staff described fearing for their own safety while performing regular duties. Despite written warnings, police involvement, and service of the court application, the respondent’s behaviour continued unabated. The Honourable Justice Schabas found clear breaches of section 117 of the Condominium Act, 1998, multiple provisions of the condominium’s Declaration and Rules, and the workplace harassment provisions of the Occupational Health and Safety Act. The decision emphasized that the building environment had become unsafe and intolerable, and that Ms. Howe’s failure to participate in the proceeding or heed any warnings demonstrated an entrenched pattern of unmanageable behaviour. This, the court noted, constituted the “perfect storm”
justifying the most severe remedy available. Relying on prior authorities where courts ordered forced sales in similarly extreme circumstances, the Court held that the corporation had met the high threshold for this exceptional relief. Ms. Howe was ordered to vacate and sell her unit within three months and prohibited from returning to the property. The Court also ordered her to immediately cease all offensive conduct as detailed in the judgment. In addition to the removal order, the corporation achieved a complete financial recovery. Justice Schabas ordered Ms. Howe to reimburse $11,035.66 for repair costs and increased staffing directly resulting from her misconduct, and to pay $40,760.08 in full indemnity legal costs, all collectible in the same
manner as common expenses. Few condominium cases result in such a comprehensive and immediate victory at the first hearing. This decision reaffirms that Ontario courts will act swiftly and decisively where an owner’s conduct endangers residents, staff, or the integrity of condominium living. Accordingly, in the clearest and most serious cases, corporations can obtain an eviction, forced sale, and full costs without the need for multiple appearances or prolonged litigation. Inderpreet Sandhu is an associate at Shibley Righton LLP and works exclusively with the condominium law group at Shibley Righton. She articled with the firm from 2017-2018 and was called to the Bar in 2018.
