And may each day, throughout the year,

2016 Condo Fees

2016 Condo Fees

2016 Condo Fees
Effective January 1, 2016 to December 31, 2016

Dear Owners:

Place Royale Board of Directors has worked diligently to ensure that the First Phase of the Garage repairs be completed without any financial hardship to the residents. This being said, many residents are very concerned about whether condo-fees will be going up due to these repairs and by how much. It is with this concern in mind that Place Royale Board of Directors has decided to release the budget information a little earlier this year.

With our growing reserves and careful consideration of projected costs, Place Royale Board of Directors has decided to keep Condo Fees at Zero Percent for a Third Year in a row. The 2016 Budget package will be available for pick up at Security on November 07th 2015.

NOTE: With our major operating costs being Hydro, Heat (Gas) and Water: Place Royale Board of Directors would like residents to understand that your ability to reduce wastage will impact on our ability to maintain our current zero percent increase.

Happy Holiday Season and a bright and prosperous New Year!

Sincerely,

Dev Maharaj
President Board of Directors

Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Thanksgiving, or Thanksgiving Day is an annual Canadian holiday, occurring on the second Monday in October, which celebrates the harvest and other blessings of the past year. On January 31, 1957, a proclamation was issued stating Thanksgiving was to be "A Day of General Thanksgiving to Almighty God for the bountiful harvest with which Canada has been blessed."

May you have a wonderful time this Thanksgiving, with friends and family.

Annual General Meeting

The delay in setting the date for the AGM was a result of developing a proper report on the cost of construction. As we can remember in 2013 the previous Board wanted to conduct a special assessment. This special assessment would have meant each unit paying a significant amount of money for which many residents could not afford to pay.

Now that the concrete work is 90% complete, Place Royale Board of Directors has been able to assess the cost of the project and we are pleased to inform you that there will be no burden on residents. The cost of construction will not affect the financial operations of the Corporation.

The AGM will be scheduled in October and packages will be mailed out soon.

Garage Repair progress report

- 90% of all structural work and concrete pouring on the top deck at the front of the building has been completed
- There will be one more pouring of concrete which will complete the structural and concrete work on the top slab

Dear Residents:

It is with a great sense of pride and accomplishment that I write to you today to inform you that on Thursday 03rd September 2015 the City of Mississauga started construction of our sidewalk.
 
As you are aware, our building has been without a sidewalk for over 30 years. In order for the construction of the sidewalk to have become a reality, it took over a year of negotiations with the city and the signatures of over 98% of the residents in our building. Owners, who are renting their units, drove to Mississauga to give me their signed proxy and this sense of support motivated me and rest of the board to work even harder to secure the sidewalk.
 
This sidewalk will keep our residents safe and is a representation of unity.
As such, a President of the Board of Directors for PCC239 I hereby declare that this sidewalk be known henceforth as "The Unity Sidewalk".

On behalf of Val, Danielle, Manny and Mohammad I thank you for your continued support in making our home a great one. 
 
Thank you.

Regards,
Dev Maharaj
President Board of Directors

Garage Repairs

Place Royale Board of Directors would like to thank our community for their patience and cooperation as the Garage repairs continue.

Progress Report
 
- The contractors have completed approximately 25% of the work and the project is exactly on schedule.

- Concrete slab surface in front of the building has been cleared of debris and will go through a final clean; concrete integrity will be tested.

- Structural Engineers CION will provide feedback and restoration will commence followed by application of new waterproofing membrane.

- The first area of focus will be the front entrance; more specifically the area under the canopy at the front door. During reconstruction of this area the front door will be locked for safety. Residents and visitors can access the building from the West Side door.

- The front entrance will be reserved for emergency crews only. Security personnel will be instructed to closely monitor the West Side door for unauthorized access.

- The ramp to the B2 level will be reduced to one lane only due to necessary concrete slab restoration in this area; proceed with extreme caution; speed limit 5km/h.

- Exercise caution when entering and exiting the garage as heavy equipment will be operating in the wash bay area.

NOTE: Families with small children that use strollers, persons using wheelchairs will need to be escorted by Security through the front entrance if the ramp is available; alternatively one will need to exit the building through the garage. In booth cases they will need Security escort. Please contact Security for assistance.
