SPECIAL RESOLUTION VOTE TO AMEND 2007 BYLAWS HAS PASSED | Awaiting Land Title Registration to be Official |
President’s Letter
Replay. Pause. Forward.
Greetings neighbours,
I’d like to thank everyone who attended the AGM held on May 30, our annual replay of the year’s happenings. We experienced record attendance between online and in-person owners or their proxies; its wonderful to see heightened owner engagement. It was an especially productive meeting this year thanks to the constructive and complimentary nature of owner questions and feedback. The yearly demands on this Board (in addition to the planning and execution of the AGM) are high, so thoughtful and respectful engagement by attendees is appreciated. Once Minutes are completed, they will be made available on the Govenmance page and on Condo Control.
The Board of Directors was re-elected. We’d like to extend a special thank you to Michele Mackay for her service in acting as Records Director for the past year. Once the amended bylaws are ratified by Land Titles, our Board head count will go from five to seven.
PAUSE AND REFLECT: Meeting Highlights
We were thrilled to announce at the meeting that the Special Resolution vote campaign to amend our 2007 bylaws has passed. The amended bylaws have been submitted to Land Titles and once ratified, will officially replace our existing bylaws. In the interim, both amended and existing bylaws are located on the Governance page of this website.
In spite of record inflation and post-pandemic economic recovery, our 2022 condo fees will NOT be increasing.
Further to this point, the Auditor’s review of our finances was especially glowing. Impressively, we are at 110% of our Reserve Fund requirements.

Mindful Mopping of Patios
We all take pride in our outdoor spaces. So as you clean your patio this spring and summer, we ask that you be extra mindful of the patios below you.
When mopping your patio, kindly refrain from pushing dirty water off the sides — unbeknownst to you, this soapy mess showers down on your neighbour’s space below, who would appreciate their tidy patio kept that way.
Call for Vinyl Decking Repairs
We are currently coordinating the repair of vinyl decking for units that require it.
If the vinyl on your patio is cracked or lifting, please submit a Service Request on Condo Control by June 15.
The Property Manager or Maintenance Supervisor will then coordinate contractor access with you.
Pressure Cleaning Begins June 14
Seasonal pressure cleaning of the roadway, guest parking and parkade will begin shortly. Please watch your inbox for a reminder of dates and times.

Thank you for your understanding and anticipated cooperation.
Bicycle Cage Access
A secure bicycle storage unit is located in the parkade for resident convenience and additional space.
Simply complete a Bicycle Cage Form HERE and return it to the Maintenance Supervisor. You will receive a bike tag and access information
Please be sure to lock the gate properly behind you for the protection of other’s property. (Change the numbers then clench the lock closed.)
Special Assistance in the Event of Fire
For anyone requiring evacuaiton assistance by the fire department in the event of a fire, a request must be made with the Property Manager that includes your full name, building and suite number.
Your information is then manually added to a secured emergency binder in your respective lobby for Fire Department reference.
Fire Marshall Volunteers Needed
In the unlikely event of a fire, each building is required to have TWO designated residents as their Fire Marshalls.
This volunteer is generally responsible for directing first responders to secured Emergency Binders located in each building’s lobby, as well as directing residents to designated Muster Points.
Expressions of interest can be directed to the Property Manager. Volunteers will receive training.
Illegal Moves Carry Hefty Risk
All moves (in and out) MUST be registered and approved via Condo Control a minimum of 72hrs before your impending move.
Go to Condo Control > Amenity Booking > Select Building > Select Date > Check Availability > Complete booking form and pay $150 Security Fee.
Unsupervised or illegal moves pose a massive security risk to our community and carry a $500 fine per occurrence.
Watching an illegal move? Please report it immediately to the Property Manager, noting building, floor and room number where possible.
Dumping Electronics & Furniture
Please do not use waste paddocks and lobbies for the disposal of household items, like furniture or electronics.
These items must be disposed of off-site or donated to the likes of the Salvation Army or Goodwill. This is not the Corporation’s responsibility.
City fines are levied against the Corporation for such item removal, an unnecessary expense for us all. Please report “dumpers” to your Property Supervisor immediately.
Pick Up Dog Waste, Every Time
There are five dog waste stations located on the property. Dog owners are expected to use the biodegradable bags provided at each station (or your own).
Please dispose of waste at one of these pet waste stations. Do not dispose of pet waste in other waste bins.
Feeding Birds Results in Costly yet Avoidable Property Damage
Though kind and enjoyable, feeding birds on Red Haus property invites costly nest and pest remediation. To date, pigeons have cost the Corporation literally thousands of dollars and we must do all we can to limit the damage they can cause.
We must therefor strongly discourage bird feeders or bird feeding of any kind on your patio or on common property.
Thank you for your understanding and anticipated cooperation.
