Enrolments now accepted for two building management workshops
****************************************************

    The Home Affairs Department's Building Management Resource Centre (New Territories East) is now accepting enrolments for two building management workshops to be held on February 16 and 23 respectively.

     The workshop on February 16 is called "Effective and corruption-free management in private buildings". The other one on February 23 will be an introduction to the legal procedures in the Lands Tribunal, Small Claims Tribunal and Labour Tribunal.

     A representative of the Independent Commission Against Corruption will speak at the first workshop while the second workshop will be hosted by a member of the Law Society of Hong Kong.

     Members of the public who successfully register and attend the workshops will be issued with a certificate. Those from owners' corporations and mutual aid committees of private buildings will have priority in enrolling.

     Both workshops will be held from 7.30pm to 9pm at the Resource Centre, Room 510, 5/F, Sha Tin Government Offices, 1 Sheung Wo Che Road, Sha Tin. Applicants may either enrol at the centre or call 2158 5433 for registration forms.

     A quiz will be held from February 20 to 28 on corruption-free building management. A quiz on the Lands Tribunal, Small Claims Tribunal and Labour Tribunal will be held from March 1 to 30. A limited number of souvenir gifts will be awarded to those who have answered the questions correctly.

     Members of the public are also welcome to click into the homepage: www.buildingmgt.gov.hk for information about building management.
