Our New Building Coming Soon
February 2021 Newsletter
Development Update:
Our timeline for moving over to Westwinds is
going to be sooner than we thought. Polygon has done
such an efficient job and saved significant time on the
framing. Our initial estimate of August 2022 completion
date is now going to be the fall of 2021 or early 2022.
We will continue suite selections in the coming months
for qualified existing tenants. Yvonne will be in touch
with tenants to schedule appointments.
Covid-19 Update:
It feels like this pandemic keeps dragging on and
on. I know how tiresome it is for residents who live
alone and have had to scale back their contacts.
Immunizations will be available for Seniors very soon.
Phase 2 is for Seniors aged 80 and over will be eligible
for vaccination February to March. Phase 3 is for people
over the age of 60 and will occur April to June 2021. I
will post more information when it comes available.
Those with a preexisting health condition that put you
at higher risk may be eligible for vaccination sooner
than Phase 3 timelines. In the meanwhile, everyone needs
to keep up the good work keeping your distance, and
masking when necessary. Also remember to eat well, get
good rest, and exercise when possible. We will get
through this. There is a light at the end of the tunnel.
Income Tax Clinic
Judy Modray will be offering up her services again
this year to do income tax returns. There is limited
space, so sign up as soon as you can. To get your taxes
done, we require a copy of your 2019 tax return as well
as all of your T4 T5 slips. The fee for tax preparation
is $15.
BC
Recovery Benefit
If you have not
yet put in your online application for the BC Recovery
Benefit, please contact the office if you need some
assistance. The benefit is $500 and gets deposited in
your bank account quite quickly. If you are unsure if
you are eligible for this benefit you can check online
by googling BC recovery Benefit eligibility, or contact
the office for some assistance.
Garden Plots
For those of you with Garden Plots, contact Yvonne
at the office and let her know if you are going to keep
your plot for the upcoming growing season. This will be
the last season in the existing plots. Garden plots at
Westwinds will be available through a lottery system in
fairness to accommodate the larger population.
