April 5 2021, 6:00 pm | IMMEDIATE WATER SHUT-OFF
Effective immediately, we need to shut off the water to the entire building.
This is due to an unexpected leak in the plumbing which was just discovered in the party room. (This was not part of any planned repair work.)
Our plumbers and Superintendent are currently onsite to resolve this issue.
We apologize for the inconvenience and are working to have the water back as soon as possible.
Starting March 26 2021 | LAUNDRY ROOM CEILING PROJECT
Please clear your laundry room locker by Thursday March 25
On Friday March 26, 2021, we will begin our project to remove and replace the damaged ceilings in the laundry locker, locker room, hobby room and bathroom. The cause of the problem is water damage.

During the project, there will be no access to either the laundry room or lockers within the laundry room.
We ask all owners who have lockers within the laundry room to empty all their contents by Thursday March 25, 2021.

Thank you kindly for your cooperation in this matter. Should you have any questions, please feel free to contact the Property Management office.

December 25 2020 | TREASURE TABLE
To reduce the risk of COVID spread, we have temporarily removed the Treasure Table from the Recycling Room. As soon as it is safe, the table will be back!
On November 26 and 27 2020 | GARAGE RAMP CLOSURE
As part of the ongoing repair work, the ramp into our 1535 Lakeshore underground garage will be closed on the following days/times (weather permitting), to install heating cables.
• Thursday, November 26, 2020 (8 am to 5 pm)
• Friday, November 27, 2020 (8 am to 5 pm)
The ramp down to P2 will remain open, so residents are able to exit from 1515 Lakeshore. For safety however, residents with larger vehicles may want to park outside until the work is complete.
We apologize for the inconvenience, and thank you kindly for your cooperation in this matter. Should you have any questions, please feel free to contact our office.
On November 23 2020 | ANTI-COVID MEASURES
In keeping with the increased anti-COVID measures recently announced by local and provincial health authorities, we regret that we have to close the gym and the Book Hub once more. We will let you know when we can open them again.
November 6 2020 | POOL REPAIRS - PROGRESS REPORT
Due to crumbling concrete, the pool had to be closed for safety reasons until an inspection could be had. The CFRC Committee called in Belanger Engineering to examine the pool area and unfortunately the inspection in Phase 1 uncovered many deficiencies due to the age of the structure.
Phase 1 was to remove all the tile, drywall, and insulation to expose the structural concrete for inspection of the condition of the concrete forming the pool and pool deck. Visual inspection also indicated a need to replace many of the pipes, drainage and filter systems, again, due to their age.
Phase 2 will have core drilling to obtain core samples of the concrete to see the chloride content, and a chain drag survey to ascertain the extent of concrete delamination. This is similar to the work done for the garage retrofit. This work will be scheduled for the week of November 2. The report will provide the findings and recommendations.
Phase 3 will entail all the work that the report from Phase 2 has indicated has to be done:
A company will be selected to do the work after tendering and bidding has occurred.
Next, a design will be selected for the final look of the pool area.
The future schedule for this work will depend on the engineering report, tendering, bidding, and work schedule of the selected company.
We will update you with more information on all the construction phases as they become available. After Phase 2 we will have a clearer picture of the joint financial planning process needed to complete this project. This will be a lengthy process and we hope that Owners will be patient. The final result will give us an upgraded pool with all the modern amenities, which will increase the value of our property.
Owners are welcome to submit their ideas for the pool design to the Property Managers for consideration by the CFRC Committee.
We thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
CFRC Directors of PCC 110 and PCC 170
Halloween 2020 | SAFETY FIRST ON HALLOWEEN
In order to reduce the risks of COVID, we will not have the usual kids' candy table in the lobby at Halloween this year. We realize this will be disappointing for several small ghosts and goblins, but we have to put safety first.
October 30 2020 | CLEANERS
Our (former) cleaner, Ernesto, is no longer with our cleaning company, Breathe Better. The company is supplying replacement cleaners.
On October 14 2020 | WATER SHUTOFF
On Wednesday October 14, between 9 am and 5 pm, the water will be shut off to repair some piping deficiencies. We realize everybody dislikes water shut-offs, and we're sorry for the inconvenience. Our plumbing system is getting on in years, and these repairs need to be done. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact the Management office.
Effective October 10 2020 | PROVINCE ORDERS GYMS CLOSED
Due to rapidly increasing cases of COVID, on October 9, the Province of Ontario announced modified Stage 2 restrictions for Peel Region. These include the closure of gyms and fitness centres for at least 28 days. We regret that our gym will be closed effective immediately. We'll keep you posted on re-opening.
The tennis and basketball courts will remain open until further notice, but the government has disallowed team sports, except for training sessions (no games or scrimmage). Users will need to take the usual precautions, including: maintaining physical distancing, washing hands after using the facilities, and not touching other users' equipment. More details about precautions against COVID can be found on our website here.

Only the building's exterior windows that cannot be reached by owners will be cleaned.
How to ensure your unit is ready:

How it works:

Use that key to open the locker, and then drop the key into the slot in the locker.
As of August 31 2020, 9:15 am | HOT WATER ISSUE
It's Monday August 31, 9:15 am, and hot water is not available due to a malfunctioning water pump.
Management is aware of the situation. The contractor has been called and will be onsite shortly.
Sometimes in construction and repair situations, "you never know what you're going to find until you start work and open things up". That said, provided no additional problems are discovered, we estimate this repair should be completed by approximately mid-day today.
Further updates, if needed, will be posted here.
We are sorry for the inconvenience.
As at August 20 2020, 12:40 pm | HOT WATER IS BACK
Our plumbing system is over 40 years old. Thank you for your patience.
As of August 20 2020, 10:30 am | HOT WATER ISSUE
At the moment hot water is not available from the 8th floor to the penthouse.
Management is aware of the situation. The contractor has been called and will be onsite shortly.
Further updates, if needed, will be posted here.
We are sorry for the inconvenience.
Starting August 5 2020
NON-MEDICAL MASKS MANDATORY IN CONDOMINIUM COMMON AREAS
To help stop the spread of COVID-19, Mississauga City Council approved a new by-law, effective Wednesday August 5, requiring face coverings to be worn in all condominium indoor public spaces that are accessible to the public

Spring and Summer 2020 | BUILDING REOPENING UPDATES
For all aspects of our reopening, we are following the directions from provincial and local health authorities.
Often, there will also be new policies and procedures that need to be developed and put in place.
As things develop in the reopening of the building, we'll post information and links to details on the "Reopening" page (click here).
(Click the image above to get to the "Reopening" page)
Starting July 14 2020 | RAMP and ROOF SLAB REPAIRS
Horizon Connect Construction will be onsite to do some repairs to our ramp and nearby roof slab for at least four to five weeks.

Wondering what's happening with our pool? Click here for details.
On June 25 2020 | CARPET CLEANING
The building carpets will be cleaned by Breathe Better on Thursday June 25, between 9 am and 5 pm.
June 16 2020, 9:30 am | HOT WATER UPDATE
You may have experienced little or no hot water again this morning.
That problem has now been resolved, so once again, the hot water will take a few hours to re-circulate through the entire system, and then you should have it back.
(At that time, you may need to run your taps for a few minutes--if you do that, please check on the water temperature frequently so you can turn off the tap as soon as it gets hot. And if you have plants--why not save some of this running water for them?)
Here's what happened with the water system:
The contractors had a difficult job yesterday. (As an example, a set of bolts had been welded down in the past, and these required several hours to remove before some other tasks could commence).
Once the contractors were done, as usual, Hector turned the water system back on.
There are two "loops" in the plumbing system: one loop for condo units on the upper levels, the other for units on the lower levels. Booster pumps pump water to the upper levels.
When the water came back on yesterday, the booster pumps overloaded. This resulted in a lack of water pressure, which means that the boiler was unable to heat any water for the upper levels.
Hector has now re-set the system so that the booster pumps are working again.
Once again, we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience. We know how frustrating it is to be without water, and we appreciate your patience as we worked through this matter.
June 15 2020, 9:30 pm | WATER SHUT-OFF UPDATE
The cold water is back!
As always, it may take a few hours for the hot water to circulate fully throughout the system.
We understand the frustration this issue has caused. There were unforeseen issues with the repair. Tomorrow, Management will be receiving a report explaining the reasons for the delay.
Thank you again for your patience.
June 15 2020, 6:20 pm | WATER SHUT-OFF UPDATE
Another problem has just emerged, which means the cold water cannot be turned back on by 6:30 pm after all.
The contractors are still working on the repair, but we don't have an estimated time of completion at this point.
As soon as Hector is switching everything back on, we'll let you know.
Once again, we're very sorry for the inconvenience. We know nobody wants to be without water. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Jason in the Management office.
June 15 2020, 5:30 pm | WATER SHUT-OFF UPDATE
Today's water repair turned out to be a longer job than expected. The contractor should be done by about 5:30 today.
After that, Hector will need to go onsite and switch things back on, so the cold water should be returned at approximately 6:30 pm today.
The hot water may take a few hours longer to fully re-circulate through the system*.
(*For approximately 3-5 units on the upper levels, hot water can take even longer to get back. If you're one of those units, you may have to run your hot water tap for 45 (yes, forty-five) minutes to get hot water back.)
We're truly sorry for the inconvenience. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Jason in the Management office.
On June 15 2020 | WATER SHUT-OFF
On Monday June 15, between 9 am and 5 pm, water to the building will be shut off.
Here's why: During the June 9 repair process it was discovered that the main water incoming from the city is coming from a severely corroded pipe. This also needs to be fixed, so once again, water will need to be shut off in the entire building.
Also, please be aware that when the water is turned back on, it may take some hours before the hot water is fully circulating throughout the system again.
If you have any questions, please contact Jason in the Management office.
On June 9 2020 | WATER SHUT-OFF
On Tuesday June 9, between 9 am and 5 pm, water to the building will be shut off in order to repair piping, and to fix some deficiencies.
We apologize for the inconvenience. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Jason in the Management office.
On June 5 2020 | GARBAGE DISPOSAL SYSTEM CLEANING
On Friday June 5, between 8 am and 6 pm, Pressure Kleen will be onsite to clean our garbage disposal system, including the garbage chutes on every floor.
During this time, the garbage chutes will not be accessible. Technicians will be working below. Please don't leave your garbage bags by the chute; instead, drop your garbage bag into the chutes the night before, or before 8 pm or after 6 pm on June 5. Thank you for your cooperation.
On May 26-27 2020 | NOTICE OF ENTRY: ANNUAL IN-SUITE FIRE INSPECTION

As of May 18 2020 | NORTH GARAGE UPDATE
The bulk of the chipping has now been completed. Most of what is remaining is coating, painting and reinstalling lights.

By April 6 2020 | PLEASE MOVE YOUR BIKE
Due to the garage construction, all bikes stored on the P1 level (racks 1-38) will need to be moved temporarily .

Between Monday March 30 and Monday April 6, we ask that you kindly move your bike into this room. Please call Hector at 416-829-7671 to facilitate this.
To access your bike once it's in the bike room, please call Hector from 9 am - 4 pm, Monday to Sunday. Please allow time in case he's dealing with another matter when you call.
The Corporation or contractor will not be held responsible for accidental damages to bicycles left in the garage during these dates/times.
Thank you for your help in this. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact the Management office.

March 27 2020 | MIRRORS FOR GARAGE EXIT
The temporary garage exit can be confusing to navigate, so we've ordered mirrors to help with this. They should be installed early next week.
As of Thu Mar 26 2020 | CORONAVIRUS UPDATE
Here's what's happening in the building:
Increased Cleaning
Increased cleaning rotations of common access areas
More cleaning of building items that people touch (such as elevator panels, door plates and handles, garbage chute handles, accessibility switch paddles and the enterphone)
Access Changes Until Further Notice
Following the guidance of public health authorities, we’re sorry that we have to temporarily close:
the Book Hub (a.k.a. the Library)
the CFRC (Common Facilities Recreation Centre, including the pool and the gym)
the Party Room, including the Games Room, and Guest Suites (for pre-paid bookings, please contact Jason for reimbursement)
the Laundry Room. If you need to do laundry, please call Relief Superintendent Hector and he will make arrangements for Ernesto (our onsite cleaner) to let you in. Ernesto is onsite from 9 am to 4 pm, 7 days a week, so your laundry will need to be finished by 3:45 pm so he can sanitize and lock up the space. If you need access to your locker in the Laundry Room, please call Hector and he will make arrangements for Ernesto to let you in between 9 am and 4 pm, 7 days a week. Hector can be reached at 416-829-7671.
Property Management working offsite

March 2020 | LOBBY TV
What's happening with the lobby TV? The free licence has expired and it no longer exists to be renewed. As well, it was difficult for residents to read the information on the TV. The Board is looking at alternatives. In the meantime, here are all the ways you can keep up with building news.
Our Annual General Meeting (AGM), originally scheduled for Monday, March 23, 2020, has been postponed until further notice.
This is in keeping with the recommendations of Canadian public health agencies and is to help limit the spread of COVID-19. We will continue to monitor the situation, and will re-schedule as soon as guidance is provided by provincial and municipal public health authorities. In the meantime, keep well!
Wed Mar 18 and Thu Mar 19 2020 | WATER ISSUE
Thu, 13:55 pm: Unfortunately, the hot water is out again. The plumbers are back onsite working on the problem. At this time, we don't have an estimate for when the repair will be completed. We'll post any updates here as soon as we have them. We are sorry for the inconvenience.
Wed, 3:25 pm: The water is back! 😃 A repair like this lowers the pressure in the system. It can take some time to refresh throughout the building. So if you're still not getting hot water, try opening your hot water tap and letting it run for several minutes (it might take as long as 5-10 minutes). Thank you for your patience.
Wed, 10:15 am: The plumber is onsite. In order to work on this, we've had to shut off the hot and cold water for 2 to 3 hours. Today's issue, with the pressure release valve (PRV), is not directly related to the plumbing work that was done on Tuesday. We have called the PRV technician and he will determine whether the PRV unit itself needs service.
Wed, As of early this morning (around 2:00 am): there was no hot water in the building. This is most likely due to a pressure release valve (PRV) in the low zone that requires service. Our plumber will be onsite shortly. We do apologize for the inconvenience.
Wed Mar 18 2020 | GAMES ROOM IS CLOSED
You may have seen information coming from us recently that the Games Room was open to a limited number of people at a time. This was our mistake. We're following the directions from public health officials and the Games Room is closed.
We apologize for this error.
Tue Mar 17 2020 | CONSTRUCTION NOISE
The construction noise many residents are hearing is due to chipping in the garage. The contractor is working as quickly as possible, but estimates that the chipping will continue for about 4 more weeks. We realize it's disruptive, and we're sorry about the unfortunate coincidence that this work is happening just when many residents are spending more time at home. Ear plugs (or noise cancelling headphones if you have them) will make things a bit quieter.
On Tue Mar 17 2020 | WATER SHUTOFF
On Tuesday, March 17, the hot and cold water will be shut off between 9:30 am and 5:00 pm for plumbing repairs. We apologize for the inconvenience. If you have any questions, please contact the Property Management office.
Fire Safety Work in Garage
As at Tue Mar 3 2020, 12:45 pm | CARS CAN RETURN TO THE GARAGE
We have been advised by the contractor that they are done with the sprinkler system. So the cars that had to move on Monday and Tuesday due to this fire safety repair work can return to their parking spots.
Thank you for your patience during this necessary work.
Plumbing Issue
Update as at Tue Mar 3 2020, 4 pm | HOT WATER IS BACK
On Tue Mar 3 | HOT WATER SHUTOFF (FOR REPAIRS)
As a result of the plumbing issue of last Saturday and Sunday, on Tuesday March 3 the hot water will be shut off between the hours of 8 am and 5 pm. This is so that we can make repairs on our pump/boiler. We appreciate your patience while we get this fixed.
Update as at Sun Mar 1, 6 pm | HOT WATER GRADUALLY COMING BACK
The plumbing issue has been resolved and hot water should be running again throughout the building within the next four hours.
We now know the cause of the problem: a leak in a coil in a unit in the mechanical room which services the swimming pool. This leak caused a lack of pressure to our boilers.
The system has been refilled and the boiler restarted. However, the faulty coil will need to be repaired or replaced.
Once again, we are sorry for the inconvenience.
Update as at Sun Mar 1, 9:30 am | TECHNICIANS WORKING
As of 1:30 am on Sunday, the technician was still onsite and working with Hector and the plumbers to resolve the issue, but unfortunately were unable to fix the problem.
The plumbers from Alderwood will be onsite on Sunday morning to look at the situation with fresh eyes.
Update as at Sat Feb 29 2020 | NO HOT WATER
Residents are without hot water. The plumbing problem is with the 06 stack, but it is affecting the whole building.
At this time, Management does not have an ETA of when the hot water will be back on. We'll provide an update as soon as possible.
Enterphone
Update as at Sun Mar 1 2020 | UP AND RUNNING
The new front and back enterphone systems are now up and running.
Please check both the front and back panels to make sure your name is listed. If you don't see it, let Jason know.
Find your new buzzer code by looking up your name on the the system (look for the 3-digit number on the right side beside your name).
The number you press to let people in is now "9". (This is a change from the old system, where you had to press "6".)
Special Assessment Payment
The next special assessment payment is due on May 1, 2020. You'll receive official notice from the Board closer to the time.
This is not a new special assessment. The amount for each unit was distributed to owners in the Budget Meeting package of August 2019, or was provided as part of new owners' purchase documentation. You can also see the fee schedule for your unit here.
If you would like to have this payment automatically deducted, please email Jason and copy the Accounts Payable team at Nadlan-Harris.
