In this extended moment of crisis that connects and separates us in new ways, working together to find a balance will be our best way forward. As COVID-19 cases have been trending down and Canada’s provinces prepare to reopen, we wanted to let you, our Skyline Living tenants, know that we are working on plans to reopen access to the various amenities of our buildings to resume our usual level of service.
Access to amenities and services previously restricted according to quarantine guidelines include:
- in-suite repairs
- on-site gyms
- playgrounds
- amenities buildings
- designated smoking areas
The plans to reopen access to Skyline Living properties and amenities will follow the informed lead of our provincial and federal governments, alongside recommendations from Public Health. As such, your access to the above-listed amenities will be dependent upon the guidelines of the province where you reside. Creating a new normal will take time, so please be advised that this plan will include a gradual resumption of services and access, as we will not endanger you by rushing into an ill-advised full reopening.
Some of the other steps that we have instituted to slow the spread of the virus such as increased cleaning in buildings, closure of our offices for in-person visits, maintaining social distancing, and limiting gatherings, will continue as we assess the situation and the potential for a second wave of infections. Physical distancing and hand washing are still our best defence but using face coverings can help protect our Skyline Living community and frontline workers.
As each province releases its restrictions on various types of activities that correspond to our properties’ amenities, we will be responding in real-time with direct communications to tenants in those areas, via email and posted notices. In the meantime, please continue to observe safe social distancing practices and direct any questions you may have to your Resident Managers.
We should all feel proud of what we’ve all done to get this far. Your diligence in following the social distancing protocols and supporting your neighbours has been exemplary and a key contribution to flattening the curve. While the work to understand and control COVID-19 is not over, we’ll continue to be in this together and succeed together.
