CIT :: Communities in Transition

Please be Advised

The Communities in Transition website is under development.

We apologize for the inconvenience but promise the interruption will be worthwhile. In the interim, please continue to visit our website often to access CIT Project summaries, resource materials, as well as the latest edition of our CIT Information Resource.

Our CIT Information Resource Newsletter is now here .

The Real Estate Institute of BC has kindly offered space on their website so we may continue to share our bi-monthly CIT Information Resource with our readers. We anticipate our website re-launch in the summer 2009.

For a blog version of the newsletter for readers interested in dialoging about CIT issues, please click here.
