In memoriam: Mark F. Freedman

Our local condo world recently lost one of its most distinguished contributors.

Mark Freedman, a leading member of the property development bar and a widely-respected author and commentator on condo issues, passed away May 9th.  

A partner at the Toronto law firm of Harris, Sheaffer LLP, Mark was honoured as a Fellow of the Canadian Condominium Institute and co-winner of this year's Ontario Bar Association Award for Excellence in Real Estate.  Mark was also well-known for his good works in the community.

Update:  See Bob Aaron's tribute to Mark in this article in the Toronto Star.
