Home Inspection Training in Canada?

[Nick Gromicko]

Question, are we the biggest association at 300 members in Ontario? Feel free to chime in anytime Nick!

586 members in ON and over 1,000 members in Canada... and yes, InterNACHI is the biggest inspection association in both.

www.nachi.org/nachi-stats.htm shows (in live time) how many members in each province.

[KEVIN WOOD]

Hey Nick! that is the same amount as California.
I think we can stop bringing more into Ontario. LOL

[Scott May]

Thanks Nick, there will be more questions from me!

Kevin it is not that they worship the CMHC, it is that they have great liturature.
The CMHC has to re-educate itself on several fronts.
Many use there sound literature.
Problems from my point of view.
1,) The ones that have been providing that " questionable sound " is not up to date information.
2.) An nonbias, unlobbed approach has to be taken by the staff at the CMHC.
It is an excellent source of information never the less.
They stopped pointing to C.A.H.P.A. AS THE FIRST HOME INSPECTORS TO CALL WHEN YOU NEED A HOME INSPECTOR DID THEY NOT?
Why ? ( InterNACHI voices.)

[ROBERT V. YOUNG]

Second point here Kevein and Scot.
InterNACHI is the largest home inspection association in Canada.
Without unity, CHAPTERS in every provinces UNITING MEMBERS, and those chapters assign representative to approach the many governmental and non governmental agencies that work within our scope or definition of the difing job frame how do you expect them to know that we resresent the finest home inspection association in CANADA.?
North America for that matter and largest in the WORLD.

Voices untied InterNACHI CANADIAN brothers.

Then " Interprovincal unions " InterNACHI BROTHERS.
We are the biggest. let them know it.
Not boasting but educating for the industry.

Time is now InterNACHI BROTHERS AND SISTERS!!

Hello Robert:

You said it right in the thread.
The CMHC has to re-educate itself on several fronts
Problem is they are not receiving the Info from top Organizations so no matter how hard they try they will still be way behind InterNachi and many other Organizations that are on the frontier of change.
When CMHC is recognized by these associations then they will be on the right track.

[ROBERT V. YOUNG]

Kevin go to the governments with your narrative.
All construction related officials. Fire halls, everywhere mate!!!
Start a chapter.
Get the ball rolling.
In any chapter all have tools to offer that will create a larger voice.
Keven you do not need the best. You need inclusion and energy.
Good luck mate!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer me this??????????????????????
Who stopped the CMHC from advertising ( Start with C.A.H.P.I. home inspectors when buying a new home. )
Once you get that in your mind and start the narrative of INACHI is the largest home inspection association in Canada with the best education.
Well I have to stop.
No-one likes long posts.
PS: I know that from experience.

[KEVIN WOOD]

We are becoming a voice as the numbers climb. I would start a Chapter here but have you even seen any of the ones listed or even go to the MB from SSM. The answer is NO.
They don't even advertise InterNachi and yet they are listed.
I see the effects of there listing here by talking to the Real Estates on my list and I have seen three of the ones listed reports.

You show defeat before you even begin.
SHAME ON YOU.
Look it is simple Kevin.
Build it and they will come.
Open InspectorSeek. Get Ontario INACHI members phone numbers and start phoning.
Open InspectorSeek. Get Ontario INACHI members email addresses and start emailing them.
I learned a valuable life lessons recently. Several through InterNACHI and it's educationally benefits and through social interaction among its members.

Excuses are for the weak.
Investment and education takes energy.
Worth every bit of effort in the long run.

Scot May will help you.

Please remember Kevin and Scot, everything starts with THE NUMBER ONE.
One chapter, one new member, one voicing opinion, one adding his voice to the voiceless to ones CHAPTER, helping one member, educating the ones that need the full story.
No bias opinions or half truth .
There are several associations in Ontario.
All equally important.
Who has the largest amount of members?
Who helped contribute to Alberta's education for licensing and regulation and did so without biased, lobbied and negative approaches.?
Gees Louis man.
Get it up and running already.

[Vern Mitchinson]

Start by announcing a lunch meeting at a place close to you and go from there. One step at a time. I did it. We had six members at first lunch. and now we are a force to be reckoned with in Alberta.

[Nick Gromicko]

Vern is correct. Even InterNACHI had only six members once. Six people can do a lot!

[Joe Farsetta]

I'll come to Canada for a weekend set of classes whenever you'd like.


Speak to Nick about this.

[KEVIN WOOD]

That is great Joe. We have to target Barrie Ontario for a Chapter. They have a lot of support for InterNachi Inspectors and they are within reach of most.
If they set up a meeting I will come also.
