What's up with Grounds

Submitted by Yvonne Sabraw on behalf of Grounds Committee

The Grounds Committee plans to meet twice a month through the summer, most likely on Monday evenings.
The next meeting is Monday July 6th, from 6:00 to 7:00pm, next to the SHC playground. As with all committees, any member who wants to attend is welcome.

Here are some highlights from recent meetings:

Inventory of SHC Grounds "assets" - we are developing a list and map of all the items (trees, gardens, garbage enclosures, tools, and so on) that Grounds is responsible for. In this way we can track what has been done to upkeep our assets. As everyone knows, managing the trees on our property is a big task. We plan to take pictures of each of the trees as part of the inventory and detail what interventions are needed over time. It would be great to have members let us know what concerns they have regarding the trees near their units specifically, and in the common areas generally. We may also need some help from members to identify what type each tree is.

The Grounds Committee's new email is  SHCgrounds@shaw.ca . Please be aware that the previous email:  shcgrounds@gmail.com, was deleted by the committee members who resigned in April. Therefore, if you communicated anything that needed attention to that email, you will have to resend it. If you sent concerns to the Grounds committee via the SHC office, Andrea has forwarded those emails to our new Shaw account.

Our contract for grounds maintenance is still with Curbside this summer but we will be reviewing options for the winter contract and really want general membership input into what is important for Sunnyhill in winter maintenance. As painful as it might be to cast your mind forward to the ice and snow of winter as you luxuriate in the sunny days of July, we will be asking for your thoughts soon.

Stay tuned for some group-efforts to maintain and tidy our common spaces  this summer- we will be planning some things with social distancing measures in mind!
