Hi to all residents of Somerset Gardens and a special welcome to the newcomers.
Eye Appeal - The flowers have been planted, the ground parking area has been cleaned, the slush carpets have been removed, the rooftop gardeners are busy and summer has arrived...YEAH!!!
Coming soon: the parking garage will be cleaned and the reflecting ponds on the rooftop will be cleaned and filled with water.
Thank You - TY to the residents who contribute to making our living space cleaner, safer and more sociable. TY to those who contribute to our special wine, beer, spirit bottle/can recycling program. TY to Peggy Lister, Bruce and Mary Frances Marshall for cashing in these bottles/cans collected in the blue boxes. Note that these funds go towards small purchases that cannot be lawfully funded from our condo fees such as food and beverages for social events. TY to Michel Landry (coordinator) and Dave Roddick (convenor) who volunteered to organize the rooftop gardens for this season.
Fobs - We hope that you like your new fobs and that they make your life a bit easier.
Garbage/Recycling - Small bags of garbage, properly tied, can be discarded in the garbage chutes on each floor. Larger bags can be deposited directly in the large bin, in the garbage room on the west side of the building, on the ground-level parking lot. Your key to the building opens the door to this room. To dispose of special items, contact the city by phoning 311. Large disposable items are picked up, upon request, every second Wednesday; the next one is June 25. The city has a useful website, http://ottawa.ca/en/residents/garbage-and-recycling but the calendar for pick-ups does not apply to multi-residential buildings such as ours.
Smoke-Free Buildings - Our survey re. smoke-free buildings indicates that the majority of owners would support such a policy. More on this at a later date.
