About the author
Sally Thompson
27 books1 followerAward-winnng author and anthropologist Sally Thompson received her Ph.D. at the Univ. of Colorado in 1980, the same year she moved to Missoula to start the archaeology program at Historical Research Associates. A decade later, she says, she began her real education. That was when she shifted her focus to working with Native communities as a consultant and collaborator.
She served as (1) Expert Witness for the Taos Pueblo Water Rights case; (2) Cultural Consultant to assess the cultural significance of the Badger-Two Medicine area in the traditional Blackfeet homeland; and (3) Expert Witness for the Confederated Salish & Kootenai Tribes on the ARCO lawsuit regarding off-reservation treaty losses due to pollution of the Clark Fork River.
In 2001, she founded and directed the Regional Learning Project at UM focused on working with tribes to develop curriculum resources on history, geography and culture. During that decade, Sally interviewed over 200 elders from tribes all along the ancient trails that Lewis & Clark followed. When that program ended, she served as NAGPRA Coordinator for UM, with the humbling responsibility of repatriating human remains to the tribal communities of western Montana. She is currently working with State Parks and the Shoshone-Bannock Tribes of Fort Hall to improve interpretive information at Bannack State Park.
Sally directed a federally-funded a Teaching American History grant focused on teaching American History in the Northwest, with a viewpoint from the people and place, in addition to those better known perspectives of explorers, fur traders, missionaries, treaty-makers and pioneers.

In my opinion, this is an indispensable guide for anyone involved in condo living or management in Ontario. This book brilliantly addresses the unique challenges faced by Ontario condos, delving into specific building issues like concrete salt damage and post-tension designs with remarkable detail.
As someone who has completed the mandatory director training, I found this book to be incredibly insightful. It covers a broader spectrum of topics, providing the context and depth that the standard training often glosses over. Sally's comprehensive approach ensures that readers gain a thorough understanding of the complexities involved in condo management in Ontario.
This book is an essential read for any condo director and should be incorporated into official training programs. It is equally valuable for condo owners or prospective buyers, offering practical advice and clear explanations. The writing is accessible and easy to follow, even for those without a technical background.
