It aims to provide up-to-date information to current and prospective residents of Salter Square.
Pool's open!
The pool passed inspection and is open again!
 NOTE: H2O says there's a lifeguard shortage in the National Capital region and, despite their efforts, pool hours will occasionally need to be shortened. H2O assures us that they are working very hard on preventing  or minimizing closures. 
 Skunks R us We’ve had many comments about skunks, large and small, wandering around the property. We’ve been told that there is a 2-week phase of critters roaming during daylight hours, then they will switch to nocturnal routines. FYI, there are strict rules in place about capturing and relocating skunks at this time of year. Come August, removal companies can capture and relocate the animals.
Asbestos issues
Doing renovations? Planning to sell?  Because our homes were built 40+ years ago, some components contain small amounts of asbestos. There is no risk unless you are removing these elements.  If you want to scrape off the original popcorn finish on ceilings, remove original floor tiles or start knocking out drywall, please consult an expert and prepare for some abatement costs. 
Again—there is no risk to residents unless you remove these elements. To put this in perspective, wherever you go outdoors, there are always particles of mould, asbestos and other contaminants in the air.
 The provincial government has made amendments to the Condominium Act, 1998. These changes took effect on November 1st. More information will be coming to owners.
Carbon Monoxide Detectors -- If you have any gas appliances, you MUST now have a CO detector installed in your home. Ontario’s Fire Code has been amended to include new requirements for installation and maintenance of CO Detectors in homes with gas or fuel-burning appliances and with attached garages. Carbon monoxide alarms can be hardwired, battery-operated or plugged into the wall.  See more at: http://www.oafc.on.ca/carbon-monoxide

Leash your pet

For the safety of pets and residents, pets are not to roam free at Salter. Please ensure that your pet is under your control at all times.

Pet food should not be left outdoors, as this attracts unwanted wildlife. It is also important that residents keep their garbage in containers to discourage wildlife from easy pickings.

See the Pets section of the Handbook for the complete set of rules and regulations regarding pet ownership at Salter.
