Happy Canada Day!

 Happy Canada Day!

Canada Day is a day to reflect on what it means to be Canadian, to share what makes us proud and to celebrate in our own way. This pride is reflected in as many ways as there are Canadians.

Canada Day highlights the richness of our land, our diversity, our culture, our contributions, but above all, our people. Since 1868, July 1 is an opportunity for Canadians from all communities to come together.

2026 Budget Newsletter

 2026 Budget Newsletter

Dear Residents,

On behalf of Place Royale Board of Directors, I would like to inform all Suite Owners the modest increase/adjustment to monthly maintenance fees for the coming year.

Effective January 01st 2026, condominium fees will increase by 2.95%. We recognize that any increase matters to residents, and Place Royale Board of Directors approached this year’s budget with a strong focus on cost control, long-term planning, and financial stability.

This relatively low increase reflects deliberate efforts to manage expenses during a period of broader economic uncertainty. Ongoing disruption in trade between Canada and the United States has contributed to higher costs for materials, services, insurance, and utilities across many sectors. Despite these pressures, Place Royale Board of Directors have worked closely with management to limit the impact on residents while ensuring the Corporation remains well-funded and properly maintained.

The approved budget prioritizes the following in 2026:

• Maintaining essential services and building standard
• Funding the reserve appropriately for future repairs and capital projects
• Managing rising operating and insurance costs responsibly
• Register on the link above as most information will be sent digitally in the future
• Building a digital system for work orders, repairs and reports

By keeping the increase below many current market averages, the Board aims to balance affordability today with financial sustainability for the future.

Thank you for your continued support and cooperation in building a better community here at Place Royale.

Sincerely,
Dev Maharaj

President, Board of Directors
PCC 239

Merry Christmas!

 Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Wishing you a Happy New Year filled with joy, laughter, and success.

Budget Newsletter 2025

Budget Newsletter 2025

Dear Place Royale Owners: 

We hope this letter finds you well. As you know, from 2014 to 2023 our condominium has been fortunate to maintain a zero percent increase in condominium fees. This decision was made to provide stability and predictability for all unit owners while ensuring the financial health of our reserve funds.

After a thorough review of our operating expenses, and reserve fund needs, Place Royale Board of Directors has determined that it is necessary to implement an increase of 5.60% in condominium fees for the fiscal year 2025. This decision reflects our commitment to maintaining the long-term sustainability and value of our property. 

Our review looked at:

Rising Operating Costs

Over the past decade, inflation and increasing costs for essential services such as maintenance, utilities, and insurance have placed additional pressure on our operating budget.

Roof Repairs

Planned repairs to the roof are scheduled for early 2025. These repairs are a necessity and provide protection for suites particularly on the PH Level. The repairs will be conducted in two parts. Part one will ensure that all exposed areas are repaired, and the covered area of the roof will be done as needed. 

Community Enhancements

Planned improvements to shared amenities and infrastructure require additional funding to maintain and enhance the quality of life for all residents.

Windows

In our AGM in 2019, Place Royale Board of Directors indicated that we hoped to replace the Windows by 2027. However, the cost of the windows is beyond our current reserve fund, as such a letter will be going our in 2025 to get feedback on different options of paying for the windows. Based on the feedback of the letter, an action plan will be developed.  

Reserve Fund Study

A reserve fund study will be conducted in 2025 which will take into account the future needs of the Corporation. The reserve fund study will also determine the percentage increase in condo fees for at least the next three years. 

If you are not enrolled in pre-authorized payment, we request that you register for the pre-authorized payment plan for timely remittance of common element fees. Unit Owners can also drop off 12 post-dated cheques dated the 1st day of each month of the year 2025 made payable to “P.C.C. 239”. Please mark your unit number clearly on the cheques.
