BUILDING UPDATES

AIR CONDITIONING HAS SWITCHED OFF!

As we enter a transitionary period to cooler weather in the Fall, the A/C to Units has been switched off further to Toronto City By-Laws, which require A/C only to September 14th annually.

While the nights begin to cool down, the days remain warm and so we have not yet turned on the Heating to the building. If you should find your Unit to be above a reasonable temperature, please submit a Work Order on ourwebsiteat: www.centennial-place.ca

In the meantime, we encourage residents to open the Bedroom windows for fresh air and forthebuildingtocooldown.

Centennial Place Residence has recently completed the installation of electronic packagelockersthroughLuxer One.

This system will improve the speed of your deliveries and eliminate second and third delivery attempts altogether. This package system eliminates our Front Desk Staff as a third-party acceptor of packages on behalf of our community members entirely, reducing concernsaboutlostpackages.

Please conact the front desk by calling (416) 438-2216 ext. 6294 or emailing centennialresidence@studenthousing.com for assistance.

Resident Highlight

ALEKSIA, ISHIKA, TONIA

These three residents came early to their RA Jaequin’s event to help set up. Aleksia also stayed after to help clean up. They go to every floor meeting and they help clean up afterwards. They have been to many buildingwide events. They are very kind and they will always greet you with a smile :)
