RE: Tossing cigarette butts off of balconies
Please be advised that our office continues to receive many complaints about residents tossing cigarette butts off of their balconies.
We were advised that a burning cigarette butt had landed on a resident's balcony furniture creating a large burn mark. We are very fortunate that this did not cause a fire.
Please be reminded of the fire hazard that can be caused by careless smoking. We urge you and/or your guests use an ashtray and ensure cigarette butts are disposed of in a safe manner.
Thank you for your cooperation in this matter.

CITY PLANNING FINAL REPORT
MEETING NOTICE
May 25, 2011
Committee Room 1, 2nd Floor City Hall
10am or as soon as possible thereafter
PROPOSAL: The application to amend the Official Plan and Zoning By-law proposes to construct three mixed use buildings containing retail at grade and residential above for a portion of the property at 7, 15, 25R, 29 and 39 Queens Quay East. The easterly buildings would have heights of 11 storeys each and the westerly building would have a height of 35 storeys, with a combined total of approximately 607 dwelling units. This is the second phase of a two-phase development; the first phase includes the eastern and southern portions of the site. The application also proposes a commercial parking garage located on the Phase 1 and 2 lands. A proposed land exchange between these sites will result in lands, previously zoned for commercial residential uses, being added to a proposed park along the Yonge Street Slip. No change to the permitted density is proposed.

NOTICE TO ALL RESIDENTS 10 YONGE - ELEVATOR REPAIR – TUESDAY FEBRUARY 15th
February 14, 2011
NOTICE TO ALL RESIDENTS
10 YONGE
Dear Residents,
RE: ELEVATOR REPAIR – TUESDAY FEBRUARY 15th
Kone Elevators has advised us that they need to shorten the cables on Cabs 1 and 2. Unfortunately, this will mean that while the work is being done two cabs will be out of service.
Kone has advised us that if they get an early start they can have the work done on both cables by mid-afternoon tomorrow. Accordingly, we have made arrangements for them to begin at 7 a.m. tomorrow morning. This will mean that there will only be 2 cars during the morning rush tomorrow.
If we asked Kone to start later in the morning they would likely not finish the project in one day, meaning we would have had elevator impacted both tomorrow evening and Wednesday morning.
We know how frustrating this project has been for residents. We have raised these concerns to the President and CEO of Kone Canada and have received his assurance that the reminder of the project will be completed in timely fashion.
Yours truly,
Brookfield Residential Services Limited

Bicycle Storage and Cleanup
October 26, 2010
Dear Residents - 10 Yonge Street and 10 Queen's Quay West
We are writing on behalf of the Common Facilities Committee (CFC) regarding the bicycle storage facilities in the parking garage.
Residences of the World Trade Centre have very limited bicycle storage facilities. We
have surveyed the bicycle storage facilities, and it appears that some of the bicycles have
not been used in quite some time, and may even belong to former residents.
We ask that residents that are currently using the bicycle racks contact the management
office to re-register their bicycle by December 1st, 2010. Following this date, we will
conduct an audit and remove any of the bicycles that have not been re-registered.
If you have any questions regarding bicycle storage and/or wish to be put on the waiting
list, please contact the management office at 416-362-1222.

Great Canadian Shoreline Cleanup - Saturday, September 25th
September 25, 2010
Friends of Toronto Islands is participating again this year in the Great Canadian Shoreline Cleanup. What started in 1994 as a small beach cleanup conducted by a handful of Vancouver Aquarium employees has now grown into the second largest cleanup in the world. Last year alone, over 63,000 Canadians registered for the Great Canadian Shoreline Cleanup, and in only one week participants removed 135,467 kg of litter from 1,280 shorelines.
We of course can't clean up the entire Toronto Islands shoreline so we've selected to focus on Snake Island and the section of the lagoon between Algonquin Island and the RCYC.
We'll meet together for the 1:45 Ward's Island ferry and walk to the site together, and we'll get cleaning around 2:00.
RSVP is required for this event. Please email info@torontoislands.org to confirm that you'll be able to join and for more information. |

Our Forum
September 2, 2010
Dear Residents and Owners,
Our old forum has had problems over the summer due to the change of web-hosting servers and updates. Unfortunately, it has become too problematic to try to fix the old forum so in it's place we have installed this new forum.
The database from the old forum contained many topics and posts that were old and dated, so we are starting anew with a clean board. Important postings, i.e. minutes of meetings (for owners) will be restored shortly.
Re-registration is required
The new forum will require residents and owners to re-register with their details. This will insure that the new members list will be up-to-date and include community members that are interested in participating in this forum.
Sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused.

SAY NO TO MORE DIESEL TRAINS
Say Yes to Train Electrification, Yes to a World Class City
August 24, 2010
The 2015 Pan Am Games are fast approaching and the world is watching. A new Air-Rail Link (ARL) will connect Toronto Pearson International Airport
to the largest downtown transportation hub in Canada, Union Station.
This Air-Rail Link is anticipated to use single-level, self-propelled diesel-powered
railcars known as diesel multiple units (DMU). Plans are underway for major
spending to produce a new type engine for this train, Tier 4 Diesel, even though
long term plans are to eventually fade these out and replace them with electric.
Manufacturing any new type of diesel engine is not only a waste of time, it will be a
great expense to the taxpayer as well as affect the quality of life in many areas of
Toronto due to noise and air pollution, not to mention "Global Climate Change".
Many residents in areas close to Union Station are already unable to open their
windows or sit on their balconies due to smog and noise pollution from the line-up
of parked idling diesel trains waiting to get into Union Station during rush hours. |

August 20, 2010
Waterfront Toronto unveiled plans to build a massive $800 million neighbourhood Thursday.
Developers have dubbed the new neighbourhood Bayside, which will stretch along the water from Sherbourne St. to Parliament St.
John Campbell, president of Waterfront Toronto, detailed the size of the project.
“The proposal to revitalize Bayside is the largest single development project undertaken to date by Waterfront Toronto,” Campbell said of the area that will cover about 10 football fields.
Plans include 1,700 condominiums, office space for 2,400 jobs, a boardwalk and public access to a green roof overlooking the water. The heart of the project is Bonnycastle St., according to Stanton Eckstut, one of the principal architects. |

Overhead Garage Door – Update
August 12, 2010
We have been advised by Richards Wilcox Doors that the manufacturer will be on site August 18, 2010 to review the overhead doors and correct any design problems that are casing the frequent problems. Unfortunately, that means that we will have to live another week without a functioning door at the entrance to P1.
In the meantime, we have made arrangements to have the door opened. Again, we will post a guard at the entrance to the ramp to secure the entrance to the ramp. We intend back charge these costs to Richards Wilcox.
Concurrently, the Board and Management are exploring all possible options for a long term remedy to this situation. Rest assured that it’s being taken very seriously and will be dealt with accordingly.

Elevator Equipment Upgrades
August 12, 2010
We are pleased to advise residents that we are targeting the end of August to begin the upgrades to the elevator mechanical equipment. These upgrades we approved by your Board Of Directors after careful consideration with the intent on greatly improving the overall reliability of your elevators.
During the project, it will be necessary to shut one elevator cab down at a time while the equipment is being replaced. We will require your patience in the short term with elevator wait times so that we can address the long term problem of unreliable equipment. We will be having a pre-construction meeting with Kone Elevators in the coming weeks and will provide a work schedule following that meeting.
Please call our office with any questions.

To All Residents: Garbage/Recycling Disposal
July 8, 2010
Garbage/Recycling Disposal
Garbage
Please ensure your garbage is bagged and tied before it is disposed of. We ask that all garbage bags are deposited down the chute with the chute door left closed when you are finished. Garbage left clogged in the chute creates odour problems, may attract pests, and is inconsiderate to both your neighbours and the maintenance staff. Most importantly, the chute doors must be closed to prevent smoke transfer in the event of a fire.
Recycling
All boxes should be broken down and brought down to the main floor recycling room – We ask that you do not simply leave them on the chute room floor. Please see the concierge for access.
All recyclable garbage should be emptied, rinsed clean and placed in the appropriate bin.
Hours
To prevent disturbing your neighbours, please use garbage chutes only during the hours of 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m.
Your cooperation is appreciated.

Canada Day Picnic & Fireworks
July 1, 2010
The Festival of Fire takes place off a barge located near Ontario Place and the Hanlan’s Point Beach has a perfect view of the fireworks show. This year we're going to go as a group to see the fireworks from the beach and we'd love to have you join.
If you're able to join us a little earlier in the evening some of us are planning to head over early for a picnic dinner before the fireworks get going after dusk. We're planning to take the ferry around 6pm which should give us a good opportunity to find an excellent location both for our picnic and for viewing the fireworks later on.
If you would like to join in for the picnic then please send us an email at info@torontoislands.org so that we can plan as a group for food for everyone. If you're not able to join for the picnic you are of course still welcome to come find us later. More information will be provided on the website as the date approaches.

Toronto G20 restricted areas unveiled
June 27, 2010
From CBC News:
The construction of a security fence will begin on June 7 and will continue 24 hours a day until it is completed. People will have to pass through checkpoints to get through.
The northern portion of the fence will run along Wellington Street West, while the southern portion will run along Lakeshore Boulevard West.
The western portion zigzags southwards along Windsor Street and Blue Jays Way. The eastern portion runs along Bay Street, east along Front Street West and then south on York Street. Union Station, the Air Canada Centre and the Rogers Centre are outside the security fence.
Traffic, meanwhile, will be restricted from Yonge Street west to Spadina and King Street West south to Queen's Quay.
That area will not be bound by a fence, rather, "it is the point where vehicle traffic will engage with the Toronto police officer."
Restrictions around the downtown core will tighten significantly from the evening of June 25 to June 27. Some of the more significant restrictions during that time include:
- The closure of all exits to Front Street at Union Station.
- All sections of the underground PATH system will be closed.
- Heightened parking enforcement in the outer security perimeter.
Throughout the G20 weekend, there will be restrictions on Lakeshore Boulevard, as well as the Gardiner Expressway and Highway 427.
Traffic Management Sector #12
Vehicle traffic will not be permitted on Queens Quay between Freeland Street and York Street or on Bay and Yonge Streets south of Harbour Street. Motorists entering this area must use the intersection of Harbour Street and Yonge Street.
At this location, you will meet with officers and advise them of your intended destination. If appropriate you will be directed to travel southbound on Yonge Street. When leaving you will have to travel northbound on Yonge Street.
The following traffic will be permitted south on Yonge Street south of Harbour Street: vehicles entering the underground parking of 10 Yonge Street or 10 Queens Quay W.

To All Residents - For the safety of all
May 6, 2010
Dear Residents,
RE: Tossing cigarette butts off of balconies
Please be advised that our office continues to receive many complaints about residents tossing cigarette butts off of their balconies.
We were advised that a burning cigarette butt had landed on a resident's balcony furniture creating a large burn mark. We are very fortunate that this did not cause a fire.
Please be reminded of the fire hazard that can be caused by careless smoking. We urge you and/or your guests use an ashtray and ensure cigarette butts are disposed of in a safe manner.
Thank you for your cooperation in this matter.
Yours truly,

New Proposal for Pier 27
April 19, 2010
New Proposal for Pier 27
The tall building, 35 stories, is pending zoning approval. They are not asking for any more density than the overall site plan allowed.
There was an exchange of land between the city and the developer. Basically the city owned a narrow strip past Captain John’s then a large block of land in the south-west corner of the pier. In exchange for this new plan the developer is giving up a piece of the site in front of Captain John’s so that the city will end up owning a strip 46m wide from Queens Quay all the way down to the lake. You can see where they’ve put the fence up now, that will be the end of the development. The rest will be for the city to develop as they wish. Hopefully something relatively open and nice. There will also be a 25m (if I remember correctly) boardwalk along the water from Yonge to Redpath that will be public land. Public will also have access through the development to the water.
Thanks to Steve Fry for this info. |

Friends of Toronto Islands Pub Night
April 8, 2010
Friends of Toronto Islands welcomes the Spring!
Thursday, April 8th, 9pm - midnight
Watermark Pub, Queens Quay Terminal building
We've been taking a break during the winter months but with spring in the air and some amazing weather already, we're gearing up for the new season. FOTI had a great first year with some excellent events and we're looking forward to making our second year even better.
Our inaugural event for the season will be a pub night this Thursday, April 8th starting from 9pm at the Watermark Pub in the Queens Quay Terminal building. Everyone is welcome to attend and there is no charge to participate. You do have to pay for your own food and drinks and the Watermark has an excellent menu to choose from. We'll plan on sitting on the "inside patio" in the Terminal building right near the entrance to the pub. Please feel free to bring along your friends that share an interest in the Toronto Island Park. You can reply to this email if you have questions or would like more information.
I was actually out at the Islands on Saturday and had a great afternoon. There is only one ferry running to Ward's Island although the other ferries should be starting soon. My experience was very positive in contrast to some of the recent news articles regarding crowds and the ferry service. You might have to be a little more patient than usual but with the excellent weather that we've been having it's definitely worth a short wait.
We appreciate your support and we look forward to hopefully seeing you at some of the events over the season. We're putting together a newsletter now that we'll send out shortly with information on upcoming events. There is also more information available on our website at www.torontoislands.org.
FOTI is a not-for-profit organization based on the volunteer efforts of our members. If you'd like to become more involved we're always looking for new people to help out.
Hope to see you on Thursday evening at the Pub Night. Thanks again for your support during the upcoming season.

Friends of Toronto Islands, President |

York Quay Revitalization Phase II Public Meeting - Tuesday, March 2, 2010
March 2, 2010
Take part in the development of this exciting addition to Toronto?s waterfront
Waterfront Toronto and Harbourfront Centre plan to replace the 212-spot surface parking lot ? a 1.4 hectare area in the heart of the Harbourfront Centre site ? with an underground parking garage.
This important new piece of parking infrastructure will open up this spectacular waterfront site for future public space including Canada Square, a beautiful waterfront square and a second urban square above the parking garage.
On March 2nd, Harbourfront Centre and Waterfront Toronto will be holding a public meeting to present plans and discuss key features of the York Quay Revitalization Project, Phase II including the underground parking garage, Canada Square and the planning of a future Cultural Retail Village.
Understanding the Project
Harbourfront Centre operates a 10 acre site along Toronto?s central waterfront which encompasses York and John Quays. In 2000, Harbourfront Centre developed a master plan for the revitalization of its site designed to reclaim underutilized spaces for recreational, cultural and commercial purposes and strengthen public access to the water?s edge. The master plan also included a vision for Canada Square, an urban plaza at the water?s edge.
This project, now known as the York Quay Revitalization Project, has since evolved to include elements from the winning submission of Waterfront Toronto?s 2006 Central Waterfront Design Competition. In its submission, the design team, West 8 + DTAH envisioned a vibrant, mixed-use cultural village for the site including Canada Square and another urban square bordering Queens Quay. World renowned landscape architectural firm Michael Van Valkenburgh Associates Landscape Architects recently won the contract to design this Phase II work.
An overview of the project will be provided by Harbourfront Centre and Waterfront Toronto, and a presentation on some preliminary ideas for the parking garage and Canada Square will also be given by Michael Van Valkenburgh Associates Landscape Architects.
Public feedback will be solicited and members of the project team will be on hand to answer questions and share ideas.

IMPORTANT NOTICE to All Residents at 10 Yonge Street
January 28, 2010
Subject: Fire Alarm
The fire alarm last evening was caused by a failed heat detector on the second floor amenity area. Upon investigation, this device appears to have failed as a result of a leak from an in suite plumbing renovation. The device has now been replaced.
As a result of the above, we understand that the alarm bells rang for approximately 25 minutes in the late evening. While regrettable, the maintenance team did everything possible to minimize the disruption. The alarm panel was silenced as soon as we had permission from Toronto Fire Services to do so.
Please contact our office with any questions or concerns.
Yours truly,

Overhead Garage Door Repair
January 4, 2010
During the Holidays we experienced a failure in the overhead door system at the entrance to P1. Unfortunately the door failed in the closed position, meaning that it had to be disassembled to allow for access. We have spoken to the door supplier, and have been advised that the door will be repaired Thursday January 7th. In the event that the parts are available earlier that repair date will be advanced.
The concierge at 10 Yonge Street and 10 Queen?s Quay are aware of the issue with the overhead door and we have ramped up patrols in the parking garage area. Residents are also reminded that the valet service is available to you if you would prefer not to enter the garage, and alternatively our staff can escort you to or from your vehicle if you wish. Please see your Concierge Desk for details.
Thanks very much for your co-operation.

Thermographic Inspections
January 2, 2010
During the evenings of Monday, July 6, 2009 and Tuesday, July 7 2009, our contractor, Boldstar
Infrared Technologies will attend at the site to conduct thermographic scanning of the common
area electrical components.
These infrared scans will be conducted every July and January during the evening when it is
expected that most people will be home and the electrical capacity of the towers will be at their
peaks.
We will be attempting to determine if the electrical components are in good working order or if we have ?hot spots? that require repairs.
These inspections are carried out as a preventative maintenance measure to preclude the possibility of electrical fires in the common areas of the condominium complex.
Except that you may notice contractors in and around the condominium complex, residents will
be unaffected and we encourage you to carry on your activities as you normally would. |

Third Floor Patio Renovation
December 1, 2009
As residents are aware, the Boards of Directors of MTCC 979 and MTCC 989 completed a complete major renovation of the third floor terrace area during the spring of 2009.
The Boards of Directors retained the services of Victor Ford and Associates, a well known and highly respected firm of Landscape Architects. Under their direction, a specification was devised and tendered and the contract was awarded to Salivan Landscaping.
Upon completion of the work, the Board expressed some concern over the installation of the paving stones, as there was some movement when some of the stones were stepped on. Upon review, the Board was presented with the options of A) having the paving stones re?leveled on the existing pedestal system, or B) upgrading the pedestal system to a high performance bedding system.
After consideration, the two Boards agreed to move forward with the installation of the high performance bedding system. Accordingly, Salivan Landscaping will be re ? leveling the paving stones over the next two weeks. The work is expected to be completed before the Holiday Season. The contractor will limit noise making activity to 9 a.m. through 4:30 p.m.
Please contact our office with any questions.

Famed architect unveils plan for Queens Quay jewel
December 1, 2009
This proposed 36-story building, called Parkside, is shown on the East Bayfront ? on Sherbourne St. running from Queens Quay to Lake Shore Blvd., facing Sherbourne Park.
A warning to all those who complain nothing ever happens on Toronto's waterfront: Moshe Safdie is designing a major mixed-use complex for a site on Queens Quay, just east of Sherbourne St.
The $200 million building will include condos, offices and retail outlets, as well as a daycare centre. At least 5 per cent of the condos are to be three-bedroom units. Residents will also enjoy numerous "gardens in the sky," which constitute the conceptual basis of the project, Safdie explains.

UPDATE November 27th - Chow: Waterfront revitalization moving forward

UPDATE November 27th - Chow: Waterfront revitalization moving forward
City Council Approves Plan to Transform Queens Quay (October 1, 2009)
Waterfront Toronto?s plan to transform Queens Quay into a grand lakefront boulevard was approved overwhelmingly at October?s City Council meeting. The recommendation to replace two lanes of traffic south of the streetcar tracks with a beautiful linear park stems from a two-year long Environmental Assessment (EA) process that featured extensive public input.
The plan will be submitted to the Ontario Ministry of Environment (MOE) in November for approval, and the public will have a 30-day comment period during which they can review the full project report and provide feedback.
If approved by the MOE, Waterfront Toronto will begin schematic design for the entire project area from Spadina Avenue to Parliament Street. This first phase of design, which is expected to take about four months, will result in a comprehensive layout of the street from end to end and will be followed by detailed design work.
The construction of the revitalized Queens Quay will occur in phases to match funding availability. The first phase of construction, which will begin in the central waterfront, will be determined during schematic design. Phase one construction is expected to begin about one year after approval of the EA and will take 12 to 18 months to complete. The design and construction process will include numerous opportunities for public feedback.

Environmentally Friendly Tip of the Month
August 12, 2009
Choosing Ontario grown produce not only means fresh taste and supports the Ontario agricultural economy, but it is also the best choice that you can make for the local environment.
Instead of having been trucked or flown thousands of miles before it gets to your plate, locally grown produce generates less pollution including green house gases that contribute to global warming.
Please consider checking out the local farmers' markets and ask your local grocer to stock local choices of meats, produce and cheese.
The Foodland Ontario symbol will assist you in identifying Ontario grown foods in store.
Are you hungry for the taste of a clean environment? Just reach for Ontario grown food.
Yours truly,
Brookfield Residential Services Ltd.

Petition against the Harmonized Sales Tax
July 8, 2009
The Provincial Government is proposing that the existing 5% Federal GST be harmonized with
the 8% Provincial sales tax to ?ease the paper work burden for businesses.?
What does this mean for you?
It means that without any other increases in your next budget for the fiscal year November 1,
2009 ? October 31, 2010 due to higher costs for utilities, contracts or the purchase of any other
necessary goods and services that our operating budgets will increase by a projected 6.8% on average. Yes, your common element fees will rise by an average 6.8% without any other
increases. Rents will likely rise so tenants are also affected.
It also means that effective July 1, 2010; your reserve funds will be underfunded. The projected
costs of all major repairs and replacements will rise by 8% as of July 1, 2010.
Brookfield Residential Services Inc. has encouraged our valued clients to petition the Provincial Government to drop this tax increase. Many goods and services including gas, hydro, property management fees, security contract fees, cleaning contract fees and grounds maintenance fees will be subject to an additional 8% hike in costs.
If you believe that this is an unnecessary tax increase that will be a burden on you, we
encourage you to sign the petition which has been placed at the Concierge Desks.
Yours truly,
Brookfield Residential Services Ltd. |

this particular area. The area will be used for deliveries and disposal of construction
waste. Please avoid this area where possible.
During this period, pool patrons are asked to utilize the shower facilities at 10 Queen?s
Quay West adjacent to the children?s playroom and golf practice area. If you are unable

Third Floor Terrace and Outdoor Pool - Construction Delays
June 19, 2009
We regret to advise that it has become necessary to postpone the opening of the third floor terrace and outdoor pool until Friday, June 19, 2009.
The inclement weather and the high winds have hampered the ability of the contractors to lay the pavers over the landscape fabric. As a consequence, the work is proceeding at a much slower pace than expected.
In order to expedite matters, the Joint Board of Directors has provided the contractor with permission to continue work on Saturdays between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. Additional carpenters have been retained and if at all possible, the contractors will continue to work through the rainy and unseasonably cold weather.
Please note that as at June 19, 2009, the entire third floor terrace will not have been completed. We are working to have the outdoor pool and deck area completed so that if and when summer ever arrives, residents and their families will be able to enjoy the deck. Areas that have not been completed will be fenced off for safety and work will continue. Some of the work involves painting the railings and we do not expect that type of work to interfere with your enjoyment of the deck. Other work will involve carpentry and may be noisy. The latter work will only be carried out during the weekdays during business hours.
No work will commence on the change rooms until the outdoor pool is available as an alternative option for pool patrons.
Yours truly,
Brookfield Residential Services Ltd. |

Transfer of Cigarette Odours to Adjacent Suites and Common Area Corridors
June 18, 2009
More and more frequently, the Management Office is receiving complaints that the odour of cigarette smoke can be detected in the common area corridors and adjacent suites.
The Joint Board of Directors has been asked to address this important matter by concerned residents.
The Condominium Act specifically states that ?no person shall permit a condition to exist or carry on an activity in a unit or on the common elements that is likely to damage the property or cause injury to one?s health.?
As such, residents who smoke are reminded that they have a duty and obligation to ensure that their activities are not in breach the Condominium Act. The Joint Board of Directors reminds smokers that all necessary and reasonable steps should be taken to deal with this issue.
Smoking should, therefore, be confined to rooms that are vented to the exterior of the condominium.
Exhaust fans should be utilized while smoking.
Where a resident refuses to cooperate in taking all reasonable steps to solve the problem of smoke transfer, the corporation may be obliged to instruct the resident to stop smoking in the suite. Currently, the Smoke Free Ontario Act prohibits smoking on any of the common elements.
We thank you in advance for your kind consideration to other non-smoking residents.

Brookfield Residential Services Ltd.

We respectfully request that residents keep their bicycles in the underground garage and exit the condominium complex via the garage.

Air Conditioning and Outdoor Temperature
June 5, 2009
Recently we have received phone calls from our residents noting that the air conditioning is not operating in their suites.
The reason that you will not always have air-conditioning when the temperatures remain
cool outside is that the chillers (which are located in roof top mechanical rooms) have
what is known as an outdoor ?set back? temperature.
This set back temperature is 16 degrees Celsius and below this temperature, the chillers
which provide the chilled water to your fan coil units will not operate. To run the chillers
at this temperature could cause damage to them.
We hope that this information assists you in understanding why although we switched
over from heating to air conditioning, the air conditioning has not always been available
during the past few weeks when the weather has remained on the cool side especially over night.
Yours truly,
Brookfield Residential Services Ltd.

May 10, 2009
Over the coming months, the Residences of the World Trade Centre will be initiating a number of projects to encourage residents to recycle and reduce the waste levy that the City of Toronto charges multi-residential buildings to dispose of garbage.
We know that the easier and more convenient it is for our residents to recycle that the greater the likelihood is that you will participate.
To that end, we have taken the liberty of ordering new recycling bags for each suite. These bags will make it simple and achievable to recycle. Just hang it on the back of a door or inside your kitchen cabinet and load it up!
Please visit the Concierge Desk in your tower and pick up your free recycling bag together with the City of Toronto?s most recent recycling poster.
We thank you for your anticipated cooperation in our recycling efforts.

There is a minimum commitment of eleven board meetings per year. The Boards of MTCC 979 and MTCC 988 will meet together effective March 24, 2009 as a Joint Board of Directors.

To: All Residents: 10 Yonge Street and 10 Queen?s Quay West
Subject: Noise Transfer
March 23, 2009
Noise is one of those classic irritants that can drive neighbours crazy. However, what exactly constitutes ?noise disturbance? in the condominium setting?
Because residents essentially live in stacked housing, noise will be transferred from suite to suite from time to time by other residents. When does it constitute a nuisance?
Management often defines normal noises as the ?stuff of everyday living?. Generally, we all travel over floors, watch television, listen to music, talk, prepare meals, clean the home and do laundry. When the aforementioned activities occur during the day, most people do not even notice the noise due to ambient noise emanating from inside their own suites, outdoor traffic noise or the noise that mechanical components from within the condominium generate. Residents need to recognize that these types of noises generally do not constitute a nuisance. In the main, these types of noises are the stuff of everyday living.
If, however, the noises occur after the hour of 10:00 p.m., inevitably some people will be disturbed by the aforementioned noises. It is part of condominium living that residents need to be considerate and turn down the volume of televisions and stereos inthe evenings and on weekends. We need to be conscious of the lifestyles of our neighbours who may work late or do shift work. We need to consider the elderly and children who may retire earlier than other residents. Garbage should not be disposed of late at night when the sound of the chute opening and garbage travelling down the chute wil be highly disturbing to some.
With respect to renovations, we need to recognize that evenings and weekends may be a time of quieter activities for many residents. Clearly, it is unfair to others when banging or drilling occurs into the evenings or on weekends and other residents have no way to escape the noise.
This is all a way of saying that condominium living does require adjustments in behaviour.
Should you hear noise that is disturbing to you, especially in the evenings or on weekends when the Management Office is closed, please call the concierge desk to report it. Noise needs to be verified. Often times, residents without malice will assume that the noise is emanating from above when in reality, noise can travel from below and from adjacent suites, so please do not make presumptions until we Management and Staff have had an opportunity to investigate.
Thank you for your kind attention to the matter of noise transfer.
Yours truly

Our Recycling Program
for Trash, Clothing and Shoes
March 1, 2009
The City of Toronto has a mandatory recycling programme and if you have not yet embraced recycling, now is the time to begin because the City has now imposed a tax or ?waste reduction levy? on all multi-unit residential buildings to induce residents to recycle. The City?s own statistics indicate that single family homes divert approximately 61% of residential waste from landfill while multi-unit residential residences only divert 18%.
The City has a very ambitious waste diversion target of 70% by the year 2012 and all property managers, superintendents and owners have a responsibility to ensure that materials designated as recyclable under the City?s programme are kept separate from garbage and placed properly out for collection.
Sorting and separating recyclable materials such as paper and bottles and cans is no longer required. The different components of the recycling stream can now be sorted mechanically at a sorting facility. This helps to reduce the number of trucks needed to collect recyclables, saves on costs and cuts down on air pollution.
Please do not use the anonymity of the refuse room to place recyclables down the chute.
Large metal appliances such as stoves, refrigerators and freezers may be disposed of by placing them in a designated area located behind the waterfall at 10 Queen?s Quay West.
If you have hazardous waste such as paints, pesticides, batteries, syringes or used motor oil, please contact your concierge who will send our maintenance department to pick up the hazardous items and dispose of them at the local hazardous waste depot on your behalf.
Recycling Clothing and Shoes - These bins will be located in the recycling area on the main floor at 10 Yonge Street and in the recycling area behind the elevator at 10 Queen's Quay West. |

Attention All Pet Owners - 10 Yonge Street
January 28, 2009
Did you know that the rules of the Corporation stipulate that each unit shall be permitted to keep no more than one dog or two cats, or no more than one dog and one cat ?
Did you know that the Board of Directors has a duty and an obligation under the Condominium Act of Ontario to enforce the corporation's rules ?
Both are true and regrettably, the Board of Directors has been receiving an increasing number of complaints that people have two dogs in their units. In addition, there have been many complaints that residents are in violation of other rules with respect to keeping pets on the premises.
Dogs must not be permitted to bark incessantly and must be kept on a leash while travelling through the common areas. Pets shall not be exercised or permitted to relieve themselves in or on common areas. Residents are required to clean up after their pets in compliance with municipal by-laws.
The Board of Directors has asked Management to advise all residents that failure to comply with the rules will result in enforcement measures being undertaken. Please note that where residents refuse to comply, you may be asked to remove your pet(s) from the premises. (It has regrettably become necessary recently to take legal action to remove pets from the premises due to their interference with the enjoyment of the condominium by others.)
In accordance with Rule No. N. 03, residents will shortly be asked to register their pet(s) in order that we may keep our records current. You are respectfully requested to ensure that you are in compliance as the Board of Directors will be enforcing all rules as required.
Yours Truly,
Brookfield Residential Services

To Selected Residents 10 Queen's Quay West
December 23, 2008
Subject: Some Friendly Reminders from the Management Office
Recent inspections have revealed that some residents are in breach of the Corporation?s Rules and Regulations.
Some residents have placed door mats and/or boots in front of their suite doors. Please note that Rule No. 15 advises that sidewalks, passageways, walkways and driveways that are used in common by the owners shall not be obstructed by any of the owners or used by them for any purpose other than ingress to and egress from their respective units. As the doormats and footwear may impede traffic or constitute a trip hazard, we respectfully request that doormats and boots be moved to the interior of the suites.
Some residents have installed satellite dishes on their balconies. Rule No. 19 states that no television antennae, aerial tower or similar structure shall be erected on or fastened to any unit or the common elements, except in connection with a common television cable system. We respectfully request that satellite dishes be removed immediately.
Finally, please note that the Board of Directors has instituted a no tipping policy at 10 Queen?s Quay West. In-house staff will be provided with holiday bonuses financed from the Corporation?s budget.
Thank you for your kind attention to these important matters.

All Residents and Owners
November 12, 2008
● WHAT TO DO IN THE EVENT OF WATER ESCAPE IN YOUR SUITE
The escape of water into a suite is one of the most difficult situations for a
resident to endure. To add insult to injury, the water escapes often occur when
you are away from the suite, in the middle of the night while you are asleep
or just before your entire extended family arrives for dinner!
If you notice water escape or even think that you hear the sound of water escaping, please call the Concierge at 10 Yonge Street at (416) 362-5995 or the Concierge at 10 Queen?s Quay West at (416) 362-5612 any time of the day or night. The Concierge will contact the appropriate individual to investigate on your behalf.
At this time, staff will evaluate the situation. If a flood control company is required, one will be called. If the flood is relatively minor, the staff will collect the water with a wet/dry vacuum. If carpets are affected, the under pad should be removed and a commercial fan should be placed in the suite to dry out the carpet. Why do we do this? It is because it is the responsibility of the staff to mitigate the loss to you the homeowner and to the Condominium Corporation.
You should report damage to contents and betterments and improvements to your insurer immediately. This is a good time to ask yourself the following question. Do you know how to get in touch with your insurer at midnight on a Saturday?
Staff will visit your suite following a water leak to assess damage. It may not necessarily be the next day. Why do we wait? Often, the damage will not be evident immediately. We want to ensure that the drywall has had an opportunity to dry out and for potential water stains to develop so that when we repair the drywall, we do it according to the Canadian Construction Standards for mould prevention and removal.
We take this opportunity to remind you that it is highly recommended that you carry insurance. You should ensure that both your contents and any betterments and improvements that you have made to the suite are covered as the Corporation?s policy does NOT provide coverage for the aforementioned items.
Please become familiar with the location of your shut off valves. Please retain the services of a qualified and insured plumber to do in suite repairs. You should remember that should you be responsible for damage to the units or common elements, you are responsible to reimburse the Corporation for the cost of repairs up to and including the respective Corporation?s deductible which is $5,000.00.
● HUMIDITY AND CONDENSATION IN THE HOME
As we move into fall and winter, residents will contact the Management Office to report that there is visible moisture on the interior of the glass surfaces of their windows and patio doors.
If you see surface condensation on your windows or patio doors, this is an indication that the humidity level within your suite is too high.
Humidity is produced when we perform everyday functions such as cooking, washing clothes, taking baths and showers and through normal respiration and skin evaporation.
Fortunately, it is possible to reduce the level of humidity in the home and Management hopes that you will find the following hints helpful.
1. Please utilize your kitchen exhaust fans while cooking. If possible, close the door to the kitchen and open a window for ventilation when using the stove.
2. Please close the bathroom door while showering. The bathroom should be kept well ventilated through use of the exhaust fan.
3. When doing laundry, please turn of your exhaust fan and consider opening a window. Please do not hang wet towels in the bathroom to dry.
4. Keep all rooms properly heated, even if unoccupied. Rooms should be heated to a minimum of 10 degrees Celsius.
5. Open a window or windows for a brief period to ventilate your homes each day.
6. Reduce the quantity of tropical plants in the home.
7. Draw heavy drapery treatments away from windows to permit the air to circulate.
Condensation on windows and doors is a visible warning that the level of humidity in the home is too high. By taking steps to control the humidity level, it should be possible to balance the humidity level so that it provides a comfortable environment without the risk of hidden moisture damage to walls, floors and window sills.

A Friendly Reminder from the Management Office
November 11, 2008
The condominium lifestyle is a community lifestyle. As such, it is necessary to have rules and regulations to govern the community and the Board of Directors has a duty and obligation under the Condominium Act to enforce the Act, Declaration, By-laws and Rules and Regulations of the Corporation.
Recent inspections of the underground parking garage have revealed violations of both the Corporation's Rules and the Ontario Fire Code.
Rule No. K17 if the Corporation's Rules indicates that persons shall only park motor vehicles (private automobiles, station wagons, vans, pick-up trucks, or motorcycles) in a designated parkinq space and that no portion of a vehicle shall extend beyond the boundaries of the parking space. Further, only ONE vehicle shall be parked in such parking space.
If you are parking a motorcycle in addition to an automobile in your designated parking space, please note that you are in violation of the rule and the motorcycle must be removed.
Finally, recent inspections have revealed that some residents have placed items on top of their lockers in violation of the Ontario Fire Code. Please remove all items on top of your lockers no later than November 30, 2008 after which all items will be removed and discarded by staff.
Thank you for your anticipated co-operation.

10 Queen's Quay Residents - Suds backing up
November 8, 2008
Did you know that the use of excessive amounts of laundry detergent can cause the vertical drainage pipes in the condominium to produce excess suds that back up into your washers?
Well, it is unfortunately true and we have been experiencing suds backing up into a number of units at 10 Queen?s Quay recently.
Many of today?s laundry detergents are highly concentrated but it is easy to forget this when putting detergent in to your washing machines.
So please consider this a friendly reminder from the Management Office to carefully read the package instructions and use only the prescribed quantities of laundry detergent. This should go a long way to alleviating the problem of suds back up.

Pet Policy: 10 Yonge St.
December 7, 2007
The Board of Directors has approved the following Rules in
addition to the those set forth in the
section on Pets from the
Condominium Corporation Rules:?
Residents not complying with the
Rules will be
reported to Toronto Animal Services and can be fined.
? Residents who have allowed their pets to relieve themselves on
the common areas will be charged a
clean up fee of $75.00.
All owners and residents desire to live in an attractive and
clean community. For the suite owners, maintaining property
values is a primary concern. While the ability to have a pet at
the Residences of the World Trade Centre attract a certain
market segment and contributes to property values, the mess left
by irresponsible pet owners does not. Accordingly, the Board of
Directors has chosen to adopt a pet policy similar to policies
in place in many condominium Corporations throughout the Greater
Toronto Area.
Please call the Management Office at 416-362-1222 if you have
any questions.
