We ask all our tenants to stay safe and healthy this winter. This has been an incredibly hard year on everyone so far but keep in mind if we isolate now when we get together again, no one is missing.

To maintain a safe and healthy environment for everyone, we ask that anyone that is sick or experiencing flu-like symptoms, please refrain from visiting. We have alternative options for helping you include calling or emailing.

We apologize for the inconvenience.

With spring returning and more desirable weather upon us Randy and the outdoor staff will be returning and we ask tenants to respect the 6’ safe distance, this is especially important as equipment is going to be present in the common areas once again. Unfortunately, we have been told to close down the playground due to the possible contamination that can occur, once the state of emergency is lifted, we will be cleaning and opening it back up to residents. The mailroom is getting cleaned once a day, everyday with a disinfectant on the mailboxes, door knobs and book shelf. This is only one measure; we do ask that you wash your hands once you get back in your vehicle or wear some sort of ‘ppe’ if available.   

The quicker we stop the spread, the quicker we can get back to our normal operations. We apologize for any inconvenience that our new policies have caused. If you are feeling sick please do not hesitate to call the health link hotline by dialing 811.

Stay Safe

Regards,

Derek Edwards
Park manager, Meridian Meadows

This is a tightknit community and reducing exposure will reduce the risk. This is truly not something we wanted to do, but we will comply. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause you.

The post Meridian Meadows Response to COVID19 appeared first on Meridian Meadows.

Meridian Meadows has had a few new families move in over the summer. We would like to extend a hearty welcome. We hope you will enjoy living here. Another summer is over and boy what a wet one we had. It has been one of the wettest on record and hopefully, we should have a nice warm fall and some of the water that’s lying around will evaporate.

General Information

Just a reminder that the speed limit through our Community is 30 km/hr. Please be aware of this and make your guests aware of this as well. We have no sidewalks, so we are forced to share the road. Let’s watch out for one another. Also, when walking on the road walk against the traffic and if you’re biking, bike with the traffic.

Just a reminder that our office will not tolerate any verbal abuse. We understand at times that we will have differences, but abuse of any nature will be forwarded to the police. If you have a complaint, please send us a signed letter or schedule an appointment so we can address your concern. If your letter is not signed, we cannot address it properly.

Insurance: We will be requiring your proof of home insurance upon renewal on a yearly basis. When your new policy comes in please bring in a copy to the office. Vanessa will be mailing out reminder letters as well. Some of you have been upset with this new policy but as a Landlord, proof of insurance is required by our Insurance Company from all Tenants who lease land from us.

If you see suspicious activity in the Park please call 9-1-1. Don’t wait until the office is open. Report anything suspicious immediately! If you see people acting strangely or they seem that they don’t belong here call the police as they are trespassing on private property.

On September 16th we got a new mail lady; please be patient with her as she learns the names and numbers of our Park. If you have received mail in error, please pop it in our Meridian Meadows mailbox. Do not put it on the bookshelf or attach it to the corkboard. Mail is private and we want to respect that privacy.

Community Events

As most of you know every year, we hold a “Beautiful Yard Competition”. We look for yard neatness, color and other interesting details, as well as improvements. Yikes, do you ever make this job hard! We have been taking nominations all summer and these are the homes that were chosen this year: 69,78,40, and 26. Congratulations!! You make us so proud and we thank you for all your hard work. This is why Meridian Meadows continues to be one of the best Modular Home Parks in Alberta!

Our ladies Craft Night will be starting up again on the first Tuesday of October. We are a bit late starting this year as we have undergone an office renovation. This Craft Night runs every Tuesday evening from 7-9 pm. All are welcome to attend! We love to see what other “crafters” are doing. If you aren’t crafty, no problem, just come and have a visit and a laugh.

We have created a lovely little community on Facebook. If you would like to join, we would love to have you follow us. Search for us on Facebook; just remember to look for our duck logo to be directed to the correct page.

Town of Stony Plain: visit www.stonyplain.com for a list of some upcoming events. One of my favorites is the Shred-it Event taking place on Saturday, September 28th, 2019. It’s a great way to confidently shred sensitive paperwork. Another event that is quite enjoyable is the Seniors Jamboree. Dancing at the Community Centre from Sunday, February 3rd, 2019 – Sunday, May 3rd, 2020. Get out your dancing slippers!

Odds and Ends

Fall is a great time to check your furnace and heat tape. If you are having furnace/heat tape/hot water tank trouble, please call Vanessa at the office for a list of good reputable companies that we enjoy working with.

SNOW!! We all know it’s coming and after our dismal summer it’s going to be hard to get accustomed again to being punished by snow. Our snow removal equipment will be getting prepared shortly so I just want to remind you that the bus route will be done first. Once again please don’t approach the machinery while they are working as they can’t see or hear you. If your kids are wanting to play in the snow piles, please let them do so after the machines are finished.

Last year on a whim we decided to put together a bus trip to Castrol Christmas Lights in Leduc. Is this something that you would like us to do again? If so, please call the office so we can get an idea of how many buses we would need. It was a lot of fun; especially trying to remember the twelve days of Christmas!

Dogs, dogs, dogs: Our by-laws state that you can have one dog per household. We understand that some of you have more so please respect us bending the rules for you by picking up and not letting the dogs bark at all inconvenient hours of the day or night. We know that your dog(s) are precious to you, but we will not tolerate bad behavior by the dog or the owner. Your dog will be asked to leave.

If you no longer have a landline and are using a cell phone, please let the office know of your new number. You can email us at meridianmeadows@telus.net or call the office at 780-968-2218. In the event of an emergency, we will need to get ahold of you.

Enjoy the coming winter and remember it’s a time for re-birth and rest. If your one of the lucky ones and there are lots of you, that goes away for the winter, please be safe and we will see you when you return in the spring.

Thought to ponder: “Fall has always been my favorite season. The time when everything bursts with its last beauty, as if mother nature has been saving up all year for her grand finale.”

Spring is finally here! Wow, what a cold snap we just came through. The warm weather brings out walkers and children playing so please remember that the speed limit is 30km through-out the park.

We would like to extend a very warm welcome to those who have moved into the park this past winter. We truly hope you are enjoying living here in the meadows.

General Information
Our Facebook page and website are getting more and more traffic to it which is awesome. We love connecting with everyone. When searching for us on Facebook make sure you look for our duck logo. Once again if your phone number has changed please notify the office.

We will be having the streets swept soon. If you see the sweeper we ask that you please remove your vehicle from the street. We will keep you posted as the day draws closer.

We should be welcoming some new little additions to the park soon…yes Geese!! Please don’t feed or disturb them in any way.

R.V. season will be upon us soon so please review the rules of owning an R.V., trailer or boat located in your Tenancy Agreement. R.V.’s, trailers (utility or travel) and boats can only be in your yard for loading or unloading purposes only. (max. 24 hours)

Insurance: Thank you to the majority of you who brought in your proof of insurance. I have been keeping track of renewal dates and will send you a reminder at the beginning of your renewal month as we require this
information yearly.

Community Events
The Town of Stony Plain will be holding its annual Treasure Hunt and Large Item Pick-up again this year. The Treasure Hunt will take place the weekend of May 3-5th. The Large Item Pick-up will follow the week after on May 6-10th. Check out the Reporter or the Town web-site at stonyplain.com for more information. This is a great opportunity to get rid of “stuff” laying around that you no longer need. However, if your stuff is not out to the curb for the Large Item Pick-up by the 6th of May the Town will not come back and pick it up. Restrictions apply.

Our Community Garage Sale is back by popular demand! The sale will take place on Saturday, May 25th, 2019. If you would like to have your name added to the list please call the office. I do believe this is our third annual! Its always a lot of fun. We have been toying with the idea of a pot-luck supper down at the office after the sale. Let me know if this is something that would be of interest to you.

If you’d like to share the Community Garage Sale with your friends and family on Facebook, we’ve created a Facebook event, which you can view by clicking here. 

Beautiful Yard Competition: Every year we hold a “Beautiful Yard Competition”. In August we will put a team of judges together and take a tour around the Community in search of yards that display beautiful landscaping.

We also look for yard neatness, flowers, etc. we also choose one home that has shown big improvements. The winners will receive a gift certificate. With so many beautiful yards in the park we are all winners! If you would like to nominate someone for this award please call the office.

Complaint Department
Dog poop! Clean it up!! I don’t know how else to say it. Keep your yards clear of dog feces as well. Dogs need to be chipped, tattooed or have dog tags on. Please provide the office with a picture of your dog so that in the event the dog gets out the office will have a reference from which to start to get the dog home safely. You can email it to me as well.

Coyote Update: We have had coyotes in and around the park recently. The truth is they get to live here as well as us. I contacted Fish & Wildlife recently. They gave me some great information how to deal with an encounter. A Coyote Hotline has been set up at 780-644-5744. There is a lot of good information available to you from that number. Fish & Wildlife will not “trap” a coyote. The only way they get involved is if the coyote is aggressive or injured. If this is the case you need to call 1-800-642-3800. This number is available 24/7. F&W did tell me that it has been over 20 years since there has been an attack on a human. Common sense must prevail; dogs on leashes, not leaving garbage out etc. Check out the hotline for more information.

Taxes: Regarding property taxes, you have until April 24th to dispute and get reassessed. If you think you have been unfairly assessed please call the Town at 780-963-2151 for more information.

If anyone has a complaint or concern please call the office to discuss or drop me a signed note into our MM mailbox. If the letter is not signed we cannot deal with it properly.

Odds and Ends
When selling your home please advise your Realtor that signs ARE NOT to be put in the ground. Window signs or sandwich boards are permitted. Also, if you are selling privately please be aware that any future Tenant must meet with Park Approval. Have them come in and speak with us.

In Closing
Our office continues to get a lot of traffic through it and we could not be more pleased with the comments we receive about our park. So, thank you!! We feel so fortunate to have a park filled with such special people.

Thought to Ponder: Spring is when you feel like whistling even with a shoe full of slush!

Meridian Meadows would like to welcome all of those who have moved into the “park” over the summer. Welcome! We hope you are enjoying living here.

General Information:
We have had a busy and very warm summer this year. On August 25th we said goodbye to a good friend. Thanks to all of you who made it out to Gerry’s Celebration of Life. It was a lovely day and it went really well. There were some lovely speeches and stories shared but to be honest it was hard to sum him up in four hours. We could have spoken about Gerry for Days. We are feeling his absence in the office more and more each day. He was a remarkable man and he left a legacy that we hope to continue on with. A big thank you to those of you in the park that helped make it a special day, you are much appreciated!

Please remember that you are responsible for your guests. The posted speed limit is 30 Km so please make your guests aware of this.

Community Events:
As you know every year we hold a “Beautiful Yard Competition”. We look for yard neatness, color and other interesting details, we also look for improvements. As I have mentioned in the past you make the job of picking four homes difficult! This year we had quite a few nominations as well. Most of the time we don’t get to see the back yards so we have no idea if there is a “National Park” back there so we rely on other people alerting us to this fact. This year the homes that were chosen are as follows: 32,73, 150, 226. Congratulations!! All of these people were nominated! You make us so proud and the park looks lovely. We have so many positive comments when people come in looking for homes and it because of you! Thank you.

Our ladies craft/chat night has started again for the winter season. It’s a lovely opportunity to meet your neighbors to create or just to have a nice chat. We have a lovely group who come with regularity but there is always room for more so please join us. I’d love to see you there. Tuesday nights 7-9 pm.

Odds and Ends
The dreaded four letter “S” word is coming: SNOW!! We have had a small taste recently and I am sure over the next 6 months or so we are going to see more of it. We will be getting the snow removal equipment ready soon so with that said I just wanted to remind you all that we do the bus routes first. Please don’t approach the machinery when it is working. They can’t see or hear you. If your kids are playing in the snow banks please do so after the men and equipment are finished.

If you see suspicious activity in the park please call 9-1-1. Don’t wait until the office is open. Call the police right away.

Would you like to keep up to date and join our online community? Please follow us on Facebook where we all have a chance to chat and share and keep up to date with breaking news! Search for us on Facebook; just remember to look for our duck logo to be directed to the correct page.

Fall is a great time to check your furnace and heat tape. If you are having furnace/hot water trouble please call Vanessa at the office for a list of good reputable companies that we enjoy working with.

Dogs: Dogs! Ugh its always the same discussion. Please don’t let it bark all day long and pick up after it! I don’t know how to say it nicely anymore.

If you have a complaint or concern please drop off a signed letter in our office or the mail room and I will get back to you as soon as possible. If you don’t sign it I can’t deal with it properly. Anonymous, ranting letters will not be dealt with at all.

If your phone number has changed or your banking information has changed please let the office know at meridianmeadows@telus.net or call the office at 780-968-2218.

Enjoy the future winter season that will be upon us shortly. Remember it’s a time of re-birth and rest. At least there will be no bugs or snakes around.

Thought to Ponder: If you think you are too small to be effective, you have never been in the dark with a mosquito!
