NEWSLETTER
Dear Owners,
As we all work towards the improvement and sustainability of our investments, we encourage all owners to comply with the rules of the By-Laws. As with all Strata there are challenges that we all face but with mutual co-operation and strong management we will overcome them.
We would like to use this medium to welcome the new Chairman of the Strata, Mr. James Ransome, he was elected chairman at the Last Committee Meeting. We would also like to extend thanks to Mrs. Sheila Hart who has served the Strata as Chairperson for Many years. We wish her all the best as she continues to serve us.
Mr. Grant Drummond was co-opted by the Executive Committee at the Last Committee Meeting held on July 15, 2020.
Over the Past few weeks, the pool had some leak issues which need to be rectified. Unfortunately, having found the leaks the pool had to be closed to carry out repair work. The leak was fixed; the pool chlorinator system was also repair. Thankfully, the pool is now up and running. Special thanks to one of our Committee Members, Mr. Grant Drummond who contributed significantly in ensuring that the repairs were done in a timely fashion.
Any changes to the property’s exterior or visible from the public area must follow the existing guidelines and approval by the executive committee. Owners are required to submit their request for alterations to the office at least 2 days prior to the monthly Executive meeting held on the 3rd Wednesday of every month. Where possible please attach a plan, schematic or sketch of the plan alteration.
