(SCOTTSDALE, Ariz.—January 21, 2023) The Building Owners and Managers Association (BOMA) International and BOMA Canada signed a letter of intent Jan. 21 to create a new building certification program in the United States.

New for the 2023 awards cycle, all TOBY Award entrants at the National and International levels require BOMA 360 designation.

In September at BOMEX PEI, BOMA Canada was very proud to present the first BOMA PLUS Accreditation Janitorial Program recipients.

WHAT IS BOMA PLUS? The BOMA PLUS Janitorial Accreditation reassures building owners and managers that their janitorial services providers meet robust targets including business practices and ethics, infection control and prevention, health & safety, quality control, procurement, sustainability and more.

Last summer British Columbia experienced 270 wildfires, and 300 people were killed in severe flooding in Henan, China, after 201.9 millimetres of rain fell in one hour.

From the moment we announced Charlottetown would host BOMEX 2022, the response has been, “I’ve always wanted to go to PEI.“

After months of lockdowns and restrictions, it is safe to say that hygiene concerns are top of mind as people slowly return to public spaces.

Issuing a statement supporting Equity, Diversity and Inclusion was the first step for many commercial real estate (CRE) organizations.
