Laundry Room Security Reminder 🧺

Please ensure that laundry room doors always remain closed after entering or exiting.

Keeping these doors closed helps prevent unauthorized individuals from accessing the laundry facilities and reduces the risk of theft or loss of personal belongings.

🚪 Building Security: Don't Hold Doors Open

For the safety and security of everyone in our community, please avoid holding building entrance doors open for individuals you do not know.

While it may seem like a kind gesture, allowing unauthorized individuals into the building can compromise the security of residents and increase the risk of theft or other safety concerns.

If someone does not have access to the building, please encourage them to use the intercom system or contact the resident they are visiting.

Thank you for helping us keep our community safe and secure.

Residents of Buildings 2, 4, and 6 are invited to use the Work-From-Home Centre located in Building 6.

Construction of the new Work-From-Home Centre in Building 2 has been completed. Due to delays in equipment shipments from overseas, the opening has been postponed.

We look forward to welcoming residents once all equipment has been installed. Stay tuned for the official Grand Opening date!
