work in units coming up in Oct/Nov

Hello,

I am just giving you a heads up about upcoming work we will be doing in your units to make improvements to the co-op.

1. 19 units have been advised that toilets will be replaced.

2. We will have the thermostats changed as well as the shower heads changed in Mid Oct to early November. There will be a visit for the thermostats and a visit for the showerheads. More details will come and a schedule of date/times will be sent out to you soon. Bathrooms will need to be cleaned well and things removed from the side of the tubs.

3. The Board has approved having all of your furnaces serviced as a maintenance program. We are expecting this to be done in Early to mid November. Again, you will get a notice with the schedule/dates/times of units to be serviced. You will have to make sure there is good clearance for the workers (nothing should be within a meter of the furnace).

I know it sounds like a lot of work but we want to get it all done before December, so we don't have to go into your units before Christmas.

We are getting the thermostats and showerheads free of charge!. The County is funding the toilets that are being replaced.!. All of this work will benefit you and the co-op and we thank you for your cooperation.

Stay tuned for more information and notices of entry placed in your mailboxes.

Developers for site across from us are appealing city decision

According to the Guelph Today article, the developers across the street are appealing the denial of the build by the City. Have a read, and if you see any info on this please let me know. Thanks to the member who brought this to my attention.

Get Volunteering and do some good for your own neighbourhood!

As many members are aware we are lucky enough now to have a food cupboard (which is an offsite branch of the food bank) just accross the street at 470 Auden. Well to keep this awesome resource going for our members and our neighbours they are in need of volunteers! The hours are quite minimal and a great opportunity to for any high school students to get volunteer hours. The cupboard is always keeping very busy lately and getting more volunteers is needed.

Reminder as well for those members and families in need this resource is there to help with food security if you are in need. The hours are: Tuesdays: 4:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. Wednesdays 6:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m.

Saturday mornings: 9:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. (They are especially looking for a woman and an older child combo to help this day)

The volunteers however will have to be at the cupboard 15 minutes before it opens so consider this into the hours. For further information on accessing the Food cupboard click the link below.
