Parking

Burlington recently changed the street parking laws. You can now park on the street for 5hrs at a time and you also allowed to park on street in Orchard park (where we live) between 1am and 6am. This gives you options for parking if the visitors is full.

Be aware that the last couple of weeks parking enforcement has been around checking.

Using the BBQs

The BBQs are installed and ready for use. Please be neat, clean up after and turn the gas off when done.

The gas should be OFF when you begin (and when you finish) Note the one yellow handle that is sideways.

You must start by turning the gas on: (Turn the yellow handle so it is in line with the gas line)

Then turn on a burner, press the Igniter a few times and it should light.

Please clean up after you are done, use the wire brush you can find inside the doors beneath the burners, and brush off while they are still hot so the BBQ is clean and ready for the next person. YOU pay for the gas in your condo fees so please be considerate and turn it off when not using it.

Roof Top Lights

The builder added some nice lighting for evenings on the roof. Hopefully we will get our BBQs up and running so we can all enjoy the space.

This is what it looks like at night:

Furnace Filters! Update - Update 2

Sunday May 4th for FILTERS in the lobby. There are still lots left!
Please stop by and take them off my hands. $4 each

(Seems I got the days wrong here, it is Saturday and Sunday May 3 and May 4 - sorry for any confusion. A seniors moment. Weekend being the operative word I guess<S>)

We will be in the Lobby this coming weekend for everyone to get  a chance to pick up a filter. Check the size you need and come by and get a replacement filter

May 2nd, 3rd 10-11am 
May 3rd,  4th 11-noon

*******

We now have three boxes of filters from the Whalen office in Bolton. Myself and other Board members will be in the Amenity Room Monday evening from 6pm till 8pm providing filters to anyone who needs them.

Cost of a filter is $4 - so very cheap. First come first served but we have 100 of the 13x24 size and 50 larger ones at 15x28. .

Come and replace your filter. CASH Only please, correct change much appreciated

We also anticipate having quotes from reputable firms for you to consider for ongoing supply of filters but more importantly for annual or semi-annual cleaning. It is very important to get your furnace cleaned prior to starting up your air conditioning.

MONDAY - 6PM - 8PM Amenity Room

YOGA has started

We started our first Yoga class today with thanks to Scott who is volunteering his instruction. Great class! And a great way to start the day!

This is a free service to anyone living in the building. Why not come to the Amenity room once  a week and get a gentle stretch in.

It is every Saturday morning at 8:30am for 1 hour. Did I mention FREE?

We all thank Scott for volunteering his time. Check out his gym at: http://www.snapfitness.com/gyms/burlington-on-l7l0b1/1421

We will be having a class this coming Easter Saturday. Get some fitness and stretching in before all your Easter family arrives

Does your door slam?

As responsible neighbours we can all help out by making sure our front door doesn't slam shut each time we use it. Remember, your neighbours are quite close and probably hear it slamming. You can adjust the door to close properly with just a small ladder or step stool and a screwdriver.

Be safe doing it of course, but reach up to the door closer and look for two screws on the inside near where it attaches to the door. (see picture)

Adjust one way a couple of turns and try the door, adjust the other way if necessary until the door closes softly. Be a good neighbour!

Rooftop finishing touches

The builder has added some nice touches to the rooftop garden. Take a look at the cool logo in the walkway:

And the rooftop flower boxes were put in today as well:

Not sure what the plants will be but it should look really nice.
All we need now are the barbecue's and some tables<S> along with some warmer weather
