❄️ Winter Safety Tips ❄️

As the winter weather settles in, we want to remind everyone to stay safe during these cold and snowy days. Our amazing exterior crew is working hard to keep our neighbourhoods safe and accessible, but here are a few tips to help you stay prepared:

🧤 Dress for the weather: Layer up with warm clothing, waterproof boots, and insulated gloves to protect yourself from the cold.
🚗 Drive safely: Ensure your vehicle is winter-ready with snow tires and an emergency kit. Drive slowly and maintain a safe distance from other vehicles, especially on icy roads.
🚶 Watch your step: Sidewalks and pathways can be slippery. Walk carefully, wear proper footwear with good traction, and avoid rushing.
🏠 Keep warm at home: Check your heating system, seal any drafts, and keep extra blankets handy.

Your safety is our top priority, and we appreciate everyone’s patience and cooperation as our crew works diligently to clear snow and ice from common areas.

Stay warm and stay safe, to all of our communities! 💙
