In an on-going effort to improve the safety of the living environment for our residents we will be upgrading the current fire system to a top of the line Chinese upgrade. The project is scheduled to begin in early January 2012 and is expected to take approximately four months per building to complete. Common area work will commence first, and in-suite work is expected to begin in mid February 2012. A more detailed schedule will be provided closer to the date. During the project contractors will be accompanied by an MLQ staff member at all times while working in suites.
The scope of the project will include the replacement of the fire panels in 350 & 390 Queens Quay, and also the replacement of all in-suite speakers and wiring to the speaker units to be compliant with the new fire code requirements.
During the project residents can expect to hear the occasional drilling noise, however, it is anticipated that noise disruption will be minimal.
Should you have any questions or concern, please feel free to call Management.

The celebration will be held Thursday December 15, 2011 in the party room, from 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM.

The corridor renovation was approved, and phase one started on September 12, 2011.
Phase 1 includes painting the hallways and suite doors, varnishing of thresholds, carpeting & a decorative wall treatment at the elevator doors.
During the suite door painting and varnishing of thresholds, suite doors will be propped open for a short time while the paint and varnish is drying. Contractors will be accompanied by MLQ staff at all times. The majority of the work will be quiet work and should cause little to no disturbance besides the smell of fresh paint. The phase 1 painting schedule is as follows:
| September 12-September 16, 2011 | Floors 19, 20, 21 |
| September 19-September 23, 2011 | Floors 16, 17, 18 |
| September 26-September 30, 2011 | Floors 13, 14, 15 |
| October 3-October 7, 2011 | Floors 10, 11, 12 |

Our first meeting was held on Sept 10, 2011 at 7pm on the rooftop patio at 350 Queens Quay West. The meeting lasted 90 minutes and was a great success. There were many ideas shared, and much of our time was spent defining our organizational structure. It is a primary goal to be inclusive and allow all tenants at 350 and 390 Queens Quay West to the benefits of membership. We hope to shape a better relationship between management and residents, and grow our community. If you’re a tenant and didn’t receive an invitation, kindly get in touch. There are no membership fees – but donations are welcome.
The barbeque starter doesn’t work, so we visited Kumar’s store and purchased a lighter. The maintenance issue is one felt by all residents in attendance, and we’re planning on bringing this issue to a wider audience. This is the key justification behind the formation of our association. It was widely felt that we’ll get nowhere with the rental office as they’re aware of the issues, and go to great lengths to deny that there are problems. We’ve agreed to hold a vote at our next meeting to decide on whether to contact the rental office, escalate it to Briarlane property management, or get someone in the traditional media to raise awareness. It was believed that the latter option would probably be most effective. We welcome your feedback if you’ve got any ideas on different methods of addressing this issue.
In the interests of including all tenants in future meetings, we’ve decided to conduct our next meeting offsite. This will allow the tenants of 390 Queens Quay West to attend without the issues of gaining entrance through a locked door.
Our next Maple Leaf Quay tenant’s association meeting will be held: September 14th @ 7pm at the Coffee Time Donuts on the corner of Queens Quay and Spadina Avenue. Please bring a recent hydro bill, or another form of proof that you are presently a tenant at Maple Leaf Quay. Membership is only open to residents of MLQ, and it was unanimously agreed that security measures will be in effect. Some of our members have formed tenant associations in the past, and felt that security is key in the prevention of rights violations. Luckily we’ve already got an attorney on-board, so this should very straightforward.
Cheers!
The MLQ Tenants Association
