Attention all gym users

Phase 1 | Phase 2

Thursday, March 11, 2010

As a reminder to all phase 1 and 2 gym users, the gym facility closes at 11pm sharp. Recently there have been incidences of a few individuals entering the gym shortly before the door locks at 11pm, and remaining well past the closing time. 

Out of respect for your neighbours, we ask that everyone follows the rules and vacates the gym by 11pm. It is important for everyone to understand that if the violations of the hours continue, the condominium corporations have an obligation to take appropriate and reasonable steps to protect the rights to quiet enjoyment of residents in the vicinity of the gym.

You can also help ensure the gym works for everyone in our community, by reminding other gym users when it is approaching the 11pm closing time.

Thank-you for your understanding, and thank-you to the vast majority of owners and residents who are respecting the gym hours.

Why it's important to tie your garbage

Phase 1 | Phase 2 | Phase 3

Thursday, March 11, 2010

Especially as the warmer weather is returning, we'd like to remind everyone that we all have to do our part to ensure garbage smells do not become a problem.

As a resident, the most important thing for you to do is ensure that all garbage is properly bagged and tied before depositing it in the garbage chute.

Otherwise, garbage ends up coating the chute wall and other garbage equipment, where it cannot be properly cleaned out during the 3 weekly garbage pickups. This will cause this material to begin to decompose in place, and will quickly lead to significant garbage odour problems.

Also, before leaving glass container recycling in the ground floor garbage area, please take a moment to rinse out containers, for the same reasons mentioned above. Please do not leave such containers in the garbage areas on individual floors.

We again thank the vast majority of residents who are appropriately bagging and tying their garbage, as this goes a long way to control garbage odours while also helping to minimize the costs we all share in maintaining the garbage facilities.

King Edward Lane Reduction Open House

Phase 1 | Phase 2 | Phase 3

Saturday, February 20, 2010

In case you are not aware, the City of Ottawa is conducting a study into possible lane reduction on King Edward Avenue.

This has the potential to curb traffic and pollution and improve pedestrian and cyclist access in the immediate vicinity of The East Market.

To give our community an opportunity to learn more and provide feedback, the City is holding an open house on Thursday, March 4, 2010 from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. There will be a presentation at 7:00pm.

The open house will be taking place a short walk from The East Market, at the Routhier Community Centre at 172 Guigues Street.

For more information on this study and open house, please visit the City of Ottawa website.

Gym Reopening

Phase 1 | Phase 2

Friday, January 29, 2010

The necessary work is being finished up in the phase 1 and 2 gym area, and the gym will be re-open effective the morning of Saturday, January 30th. Thanks to everyone for their support and cooperation while this work has been underway.

Disposal of Large Items

Phase 1 | Phase 2 | Phase 3

Wednesday, January 27, 2010

Large items such as appliances, furniture and mattresses, together with hazardous wastes such as computers and monitors may not be disposed of by leaving them in the garbage area. When you purchase new appliances or furniture, it is your responsibility to have the old ones removed.

These items are not collected by the City of Ottawa, and if left in the garbage room, the corporation must pay to have these removed.

In other words, by leaving such items in the garbage room, you are forcing your neighbours to pay to dispose of your waste.

Thank-you for your understanding, everyone.

Water Shut Off Tuesday

Phase 1 | Phase 2

Monday, January 25, 2010

Please be advised on:

January 26th, 2010, between 10:00am - approximately 2:00pm

The water will be shut off for repairs. The repairs are expected to take approximately 4 hours to complete.

Thank you for your patience and cooperation. If you have any questions regarding this matter, please contact the property manager Dorothy Church or her assistant Amy West at Condominium Management Group.

Interest in Lobby Improvements?

Phase 1

Friday, January 22, 2010

A number of Phase 1 owners have come forward to express interest in seeing some improvements or upgrades made to our lobby area.

To move forward with this, some volunteers are needed to help come up with a plan for what improvements to make. This is a great opportunity to get directly involved in the decision-making process, help make something happen, and perhaps get to know more of your neighbours in the process. (Without volunteers, it's unlikely this will move forward in the near future.)

If you are interested in getting involved, please contact Dorothy and/or the Board.
