Information and Updates

Over the last Month Simsons Management have been working to ensure that the transition from Canlight Hall Management  moves smoothly. Simsons has indicated that there have been some cases of duplicate utility withdrawals for some suites. This was a result of inaccurate data being provided on the handover from the old management company. Simsons would like unit owners to please let the Management Office know if there have been any duplications.  

Garage Repairs 

Garage Repairs continue and will start after May 31st. Residents will be given two weeks notice prior to the start. The area in focus is the ceiling of the Ramp leading down to B2 from the B1 level. 


Changes since the Management Change over

POOL SERVICE 
A professional pool company has been contracted to test, clean and ensure that chemical levels in the pool is up to standard. NOTE: The entire area surrounding the pool has been scrubbed. Please enjoy our pool.

SUPERINTENDENT  

We have a Superintendent that works six days a week for four hours a day: We will be assessing the need of the Superintendent and increase hours as needed. This system has resulted in a savings of $2080.00 per month.
