Let's Talk Housing!The Government of Canada wants to hear from you as it creates a National Housing Strategy. Please share your comments before October 21 to let them know if you agree with the vision, themes and outcomes they’ve come up with, or if they’ve missed something important to you.

• Cost of housing in Canada’s largest cities
• Low income and groups with distinct housing needs (e.g., homeless, seniors, persons with disabilities, newcomers)
• Social housing renewal and subsidized housing
• Laws and regulations
• Building a stronger affordable housing sector
• Housing that contributes to Canada's climate change goals
• Affordable rental supply, including through increased private sector involvement
Outcomes: Sustainability, inclusivity, affordability, and flexibility.

CCOC held our annual tour on September 10, 2016. Each year we've committed to getting outside to explore our properties and the history of our community either by bus, bike or on foot. This year, we partnered with Green Energy Doors Open for a bike tour. Approximately 30 tenants, volunteers, staff, and community members took part in the event. MPP Yasir Naqvi and City Councillor Catherine McKenney joined us to give some opening remarks.This year's tour centered around CCOC's vision of sustainability as a nonprofit landlord. Attendees visited five different CCOC sites to learn more about how we encourage green living through both infrastructure and tenant engagement. Participants gathered in the 464 Metcalfe meeting room after the tour to meet their neighbours and enjoy some snacks. Stay tuned next summer for details of our 2017 bus tour!
Se préparer pour l'hiverMettant le chauffageCCOC met le chauffage en marche à la fin de septembre/ au début d'octobre. Dans les édifices plus larges, il faudra quelques jours pour que le système de chaudière produise suffisamment de chaleur pour commencer à la distribuer à chaque appartement.
Verrouillage des terrasses sur le toitPour des raisons de sécurité, CCOC verrouille les portes de la toiture la dernière semaine d'octobre. Les terrasses sur le toit ouvriront à nouveau au printemps lorsque la neige et la glace ont fondu.
Fermer les robinets extérieursSi vous avez un robinet extérieur, fermez l'eau à ce robinet du tuyau d'arrêt intérieur, puis vidangez la conduite en ouvrant à nouveau le robinet extérieur.
CCOC's 2016 Bike Tour
Halloween in CCOC BuildingsCCOC has decorations to lend to tenants interested in decorating their building's lobby. We also have some funds for tenant gatherings to celebrate seasonal events.
If you're interested in decorating your lobby, or organizing a tenant gathering or treat giving, contact Natalia at 613-234-4065 ext. 243.
Getting ready for winterTurning on the heatCCOC turns the heat on in late September/ early October. In the larger buildings, it can take a few days for the boiler system to build up enough heat to start distributing it to each of the apartments.
Locking up the roof decksFor safety reasons, CCOC locks the doors to the roof decks the last week of October. The roof decks will re-open in the spring once all of the snow and ice have melted.
Turning off outdoor tapsIf you have an outdoor tap, shut off the water to the outside tap from the pipe shut-off inside, then drain the line by turning on the outside tap.
