UV LIGHT FOR CELL PHONE STERILIZATION. GOOD OPTION OR GIMMICK? Studies have found that people tap, swipe, and click their phones roughly 2,600 times per day and even share their phones, even if just for a look-see at a video or other Social Media post. The pandemic has many of us looking to keep our surroundings and technology sanitized to reduce the spread. An option getting more attention these days is UV light. Many hospitals already use UV-C light to disinfect patient roo...ms and operating theatres. There are 3 types of UV light. UV-C is the one required for UV disinfection. Research has shown that UV-C light boxes can effectively sanitize a cell phone and not interfere with your health. If you’re evaluating light box options, choose a model that places the phone on a shelf between UV-C lights. According to research by the National Center for Biotechnology Information, U.S. National Library of Medicine Phone sanitization was most effective when the sanitizing device provided a total UV-C dose of approximately 60 mJ/cm2 and BOTH sides of the smartphone were exposed to UVC light. Like any disinfectant, it’s the dose that matters, so ensure that whatever device you’re using actually applies enough UV light to make all surfaces safe.

Best Practices for Keeping a Social Distance in a High Rise Community We’re once again being encouraged to stay inside and keep away from others. As we hear the recommendations of public health officials there are a few steps to take, especially when living in a close community Be sure you have a least a 15-day supply of food.... Take stock of vital medications and keep prescriptions filled. Stay in contact with family, friends and neighbours. Avoid getting into the elevator with others use the stairs. Try a meal-kit delivery service like GoodFood or HelloFresh or a grocery delivery service like Instacart. If you have to go to a grocery store, stock-up but avoid panic buying. Establish a daily routine and stay active. If you do have symptoms, stay in your suite and alert building management. What was unimaginable a year ago has become today’s routine. Find joy in the small things and take comfort in knowing that these strange days shall pass.

Together, We’re Staying Optimistic With the weather swings we've experienced in recent weeks, from unexpected summer-like days to "bursts" of winter, and a renewed focus on "social bubble" limits, Thanksgiving and Halloween celebrations seem so long ago. BUT, now there's news that a vaccine is more than in sight, it's said to be within reach. And that's Great News! Economically, it's been a bumpy ride. And the recent election in the U.S. has many people wondering how it will ...affect Canada. Even as the temperature dropped, home sales activity in many markets remained warm. In fact, it's shown remarkable "pop." The residential real estate market has been seen as a bright spot in Canada’s economic recovery performing well beyond expectations throughout the Summer and into Autumn, setting new records. Let's focus on the "BUT." This has always been a season of hope & renewal and now we can anticipate fresh opportunities to get a new direction with a vaccine right around the corner. If you’re wondering if now’s the time to make a move, let’s talk. We’ll evaluate options and opportunities so you’re always making an informed decision. Stay safe. Stay positive. Stay connected.

Weatherproof Before the Weather Turns If drafty windows had you feeling the chill last Winter, use the temperate days of Fall to make your Winter indoor season more comfortable. Caulking sets better when it’s dry and temperatures are not freezing. Apply it before it’s too cold, otherwise it won’t stick properly. And don’t forget to weather-seal around doors too. For windows that open, use weather stripping to seal the movable parts. If you want to get some fresh air in on a nice Winter day, be sure the seal stops air leakage but still lets the window operate freely.
