Realtors, buyers and sellers are experiencing a hot market in Regina after a pause caused by the pandemic.
Tyler Koda sold his house in Regina in March. He said it was on the market for 25 hours before it was sold. Buying a house was definitely more troublesome than selling, Koda said.
Koda said he and his wife looked at a dozen houses before purchasing the one they are currently living in. It was frustrating in a way that every time we would look at a place, something wasn t exactly what we needed or what we wanted. There would always sort of be a missing element, Koda said. Beyond that, when we would go inquire about purchase or even possibly make an offer, it had already been sold.
URSU board appoints current president as interim GM
Past execs voice concerns
After a roughly 90-minute in camera session during their Tuesday, March 23 board meeting, the URSU board confirmed that they would go ahead with the firing of General Manager Carl Flis, with outgoing President Gurjinder Singh Lehal stepping in as interim GM. Although the move seems to be a violation of Section V of the URSU constitution, board chair Tim Otitoju, said that the board has consulted with their lawyer, who did not specifically say that appointing the current president to the GM role would be a violation of the section, which states that “no Director may hold more than one office or paid position of the student union at a time.” Otitoju noted that Lehal will not be getting paid for his GM role. “It depends on your interpretation of ‘two roles,’” as to whether the boards’ decision to appoint Lehal is unconstitutional, he added.
