"Talk to the Board"

Creation date: August 16, 2025

We will be hosting a series of talks with some of the Board members to discuss rules and present current items being worked on.

Update October 18, 2025:

Refer to post in "Latest Updates" for the information session where the Board will be doing a presentation and available to questions from all residents. Event is scheduled for October 22 at 19hs.

Update September 13, 2025:

We're looking at doing a hybrid mode information session. This information session would occur at a given site, and it will also be available via an online platform (Zoom, Teams or something like that). We're currently working on the logistics to get this done. We hope that by the end of October it'd be possible to get this done.

Update August 27, 2025:

The target date to start having these talks is September 15. We're preparing a few things. We'll keep you posted.

Concierge service

Creation date: August 5, 2025

It is evident that the services currently provided by Nicoval under the existing contract do not fully meet the needs of the building. We are actively researching more comprehensive options to better support residents. One possibility under consideration is a concierge service with extended hours and an emergency contact. So far, we have obtained two quotes and are in the process of securing a third to ensure we can make an informed decision. You're invited to contact the Board with your own suggestions for a concierge.

Update October 19, 2025:

Annick/Stephane have been hired to replace Nicoval services as of December 15. They will provide both conciergerie and janitorial services for all residents.

Update September 6, 2025:

Please refer to the email sent today to all residents about getting potential contacts to reach out and get this useful service. If you didn't receive any email please contact the Board at board@32lakeshore.org since we need to make sure we can contact you for important messages and notices.

Parking

Creation date: August 1, 2025

We continue to experience occasional parking issues when vehicles are parked in spots reserved for private use.

To help reduce these situations, we are working on a process that will better manage and minimize potential conflicts.

Update September 25, 2025:

The Board is implementing a new system to better manage unauthorized parking within the property. All residents are required to register their vehicles by sending an email to board@32lakeshore.org that includes the make, model, and license plate number. Please review the images below for details on how the system operates. We trust that this measure will discourage unauthorized parking and ensure fair use of designated spaces.

Clarify fire alarm procedure

Creation date: August 10, 2025

On August 10, a thunderstorm likely caused a device in the mechanical room beneath the outdoor pool to emit smoke, triggering a silent alarm. We are working closely with Management and the Fire Alarm company to review and strengthen procedures so that similar emergency situations are handled more effectively in the future.

Update September 15, 2025:

Les représentants de Maple Armor sont venus aujourd’hui pour inspecter et vérifier notre système d’alarme incendie, comme convenu et approuvé.

Cette intervention fait suite à l’incident survenu lors de la coupure/panne électrique qui avait provoqué un dégagement de fumée en raison du réchauffement de la pompe de la piscine intérieure située sous la piscine au 10ᵉ étage.

À noter que le système a été jugé conforme et en bon état de fonctionnement.

Une formation a été donnée à Anibal

Nous allons aussi rajouter un détecteur dans la salle en dessous de la piscine!

Transfer of bank account from Khoury to the Board

Creation date: August 7, 2025

Process of transferring ownership of bank account from Khoury to the Board. This entails deciding those responsible for approving payments on behalf of the Board as well as having access to financial accounts.

Update September 13, 2025:

As of September 12, 2025 we finally have full access to the bank account in Caisse Desjardins.

Ongoing - Getting familiar with and helping enforce the Déclaration de co-propriété

We are taking time to become familiar with the declaration of co-ownership—a thorough 127-page document that every owner or tenant receives when purchasing or renting a unit. This declaration sets out all the rules and regulations that govern condominium living. It is important that these bylaws be followed and applied consistently, with fairness and respect for all residents.

Update September 13, 2025:

Even though this item has been moved to the Closed Items, it's clear that the Board continues to work on this item, and it will continue to work on this item going on. I'm just moving this item here since it's a continuous item without end in sight.

Ongoing - Addressing a variety of emails from residents

We’ve received more than 300 emails since June 19. We take communication with residents seriously and are working through all board-related items as quickly as possible. Please note that the Board can only address matters within its responsibilities. For private issues with the builder, residents should first contact Service.

Update September 13, 2025:

Even though this item has been moved to the Closed Items, it's clear that the Board continues to work on this item, and it will continue to work on this item going on. I'm just moving this item here since it's a continuous item without end in sight.

Exterminator (spider treatment)

Creation date: August 7, 2025

Service is organizing the visit of an Exterminator company to come to the building to provide fumigation/extermination services for the common areas as well as the private areas. Private areas will be the responsibility of each resident to pay for and organize their rendez-vous with the company. More info to come...

Update August 27, 2025:

After further consideration and due to the reasons listed below the Exterminator (spider treatment) services for this year will not be carried out in common areas. If there are residents who want to do this on their own areas (balconies) they're of course free to do that.

Reasons for this decision:

1. We've only got a quote and we'd need more time to do a proper bid process for this contract

2. Most importantly, we're already at the end of August and the temperatures are already dropping, which means that nature will take its course and do the deed.

3. It seems that doing just one application this late in the season will not have the intended effect. After checking with another provider (pestco.ca) they recommended that 3 treatments are required: beginning of spring, mid summer, late summer. So, by doing only one treatment we'll not get what we're after.

Miscellaneous

• Creation of website (what you're seeing now) for one way to dissiminate information to all residents

  • Note that there's also two Facebook groups you can join:

    • 32 Lakeshore: only available to residents of the building. This group is for general and social information about condo living.

    • 32 Lakeshore (owners): only available to owners of units within the building. Very little traffic. A medium for owners to share ideas and concerns.

• Set up digital environment for better communication and project tracking:

  • Setup custom domain 32lakeshore.org

  • Setup Google workspace attached to 32lakeshore.org for efficient and effective communication with all owners and tenants

  • Setup of Monday.com account for project management

• Election of roles within Board - 2025-08-11

• Transition of NEQ from Carol to Board - 2025-08-10
