Garage Doors

It is the Corporation's responsibility to maintain and repair the common element. In the past problems with our garage doors mainly related to adjusting or replacing the springs and rollers. Unfortunately, unless the repair is relatively minor, it is no longer possible to obtain replacement parts for the original doors. On an as need basis the Board is replacing faulty doors with a new door. You can see this replacement new door as you walk around the complex. If you are experiencing a problem with the operation of your garage door, please contact our property manager. All requests will be given consideration by the Board with approval determined by the priority of the repair. Note that functional problems are given priority over cosmetic requests. The Corporation covers the cost to install a basic insulated sandstone coloured garage door. The unit owner can elect to upgrade this door and arrange for the installation of a garage door opener at their own cost. It is requested that the owner inform the Board via our property manager of any modifications or upgrades.

Pool News

Before we know it winter will be a memory and we will be getting ready to enjoy another summer. The pool is jointly managed by the Board's of both YCC 367 and  YCC 256 . Operational issues are attended to by our pool contractor, Sparkling Pool and the Property Management Companies representing our two Corporations. To ensure that this valuable resource is utilized in a manner that meets the needs of our residents, a pool committee with representation from both YCC 256 and YCC 367 can be a useful adjunct to the Board. Able bodied volunteers or constructive comments are always welcome. The contract has not been completely negotiated yet. So now is the time for input into any operational issues like hours of operation or any other suggestions so that we obtain maximum enjoyment out of this resource.
The pool is scheduled to open Saturday June 22nd 2013 and will close after Labour Day in September (Monday 2nd).
