Liberty Entertainment takes over Touch Lounge

Liberty Entertainment Group, which operates C-Lounge, have taken over Touch Lounge to the north of our property.

Due to our concern over excess noise with both C-Lounge and Touch Lounge as immediate neighbours, the Board has met with Liberty Entertainment Group and are planning a second meeting with them again, within the next two weeks. The primary issues will be noise control, security, acoustic damping of the building, garbage and food disposal, and sound control from the large capacity patio.

intercom repair


Some residents using Bell Sympatico as their ISP have experienced problems with the intercom system in our two lobbies. Common among these problems was an inability to hear the person in the lobby via the intercom, and difficulty opening the door via the phone line.

Recently our intercom contractor found the problem resulted from the absence of a relay filter for certain types of high-speed internet connections. The filter has been installed and the affected residents have all reported that the system is working properly.

If you are experiencing any intercom problems, please contact Gabby or Liron at Harris Management (416)915-9115.

C-Lounge delivery trucks - Keep off the grass!

Some residents have witnessed C-Lounge delivery trucks drive over our grass lawn to access the C-Lounge parking lot, resulting in some damage to the lawn and property.

The board has considered the addition of a bollard to that area of our property to block vehicle access, or possibly a large landscaping rock surrounded by plantings.

In the meantime, I had a meeting with C-Lounge/ Liberty Entertainment to discuss this issue and they agreed to address it immediately. All of their delivery drivers have now been instructed to stop doing this.

If you see a vehicle enter the C-Lounge parking lot via our lawn, please notify the Board and make note of the date, time and vehicle.

Trees are no place for garbage



The unsightly plastic bags caught up in our tree branches have been perennial eyesores. They have recently all been removed, and our landscaper is now committed to monitoring our trees to keep them garbage-free.

Spring landscaping


The board and management met with our landscaper last month to inspect the grounds and discuss plans for the summer season.


As part of our cost-cutting efforts, the grounds will receive no new plantings and will undergo regular maintenance and trimming only.
The exception is the area of bare topsoil atop the north retaining wall which has recently received new plantings.
