| Aug. 6 | It's Official!
This Media Release was sent out today.
|
| Aug. 4 | Unit Owners are reminded to exercise some common sense regarding open pit fires. This past weekend’s huge windstorms created very hazardous situations for open pit fires. There were even instances when it was observed that these open pit fires were left unattended during this past weekend’s windstorm. Even though we are not in a fireban, common sense still needs to prevail especially in such hazardous situations. If any unit owner observes an open pit fire conducted in a hazardous manner, they are reminded that the fire department may be called to attend to the situation if the situation can not be reasonably resolved. If we are in a fireban situation, then the open pit fire must be immediately extinguished or the fire department called.
Requested by the LBR Board.

To date there have been 83 ballots returned regarding the proposed Bylaw amendments. The amendment of the Bylaws requires a special resolution, which by definition under the Condominium Property Act requires the approval of 75 % of the owners which is 189 of the 252 units at Little Bow.
At the Board meeting held on March 3, 2009 the Board voted to extend the vote until May 29, 2009. If you have already voted please disregard this message and thank you for your participation. If you have not voted please complete the ballot on the last page of the By-Law amendment package on the Archives page and return it to Braemore Management Ltd.
It is important that all owners vote on this package. Whether you are voting yes or no it is important to vote so that the Board has a clear understanding of the owner’s position with regard to the proposed amendments.

Good Day,
I will open the dump site on Friday, Feb. 6.
A reminder that ONLY WOOD is to be put into the construction dump. Steel, household garbage, furniture, appliances, paint cans should not be dumped there. Cardboard goes into the GREEN BIN in front of Recycle shed. Just to let people know before I lit the fire, I hauled 10 bags of house hold garbage to blue bins and 1/2 a load of paint cans, steel etc.
PLEASE USE WITH RESPECT.
