Hi everyone! We will be closing the office early today so that our staff can attend the Canadian Condominium Institute - Grand River Chapter's conference at the Bingeman's Conference Centre at 425 Bingemans Centre Drive, Kitchener, Ontario. Our office will be closing at 11:00 a.m. Emergency calls will be responded to and we will be back in the office bright and early on Monday morning.

It has been far too long since we've been able to see each other in person, and now, we're back! The Enfield Group Inc. will be exhibiting at booth #23 and will have information on our services, as well as some prize-pack goodies, to hand-out. Our team of Property Managers will all be in attendance for what will no doubt be a very informative and relationship building day. Come and say hello! We're looking forward to meeting you in person.

Just as in a biological family, the structure of the community is designed to maintain the well-being of each member and a harmonious society. Within that comes boundary-setting, guidance and information giving.

The Enfield Group Inc. wish to advise that until further notice, all meetings (Board, Owner, Contractor) are to be held virtually without person-to-person contact. There will be no in-person meetings at the sites or at The Enfield Group office. Additionally, since the Government requirements are for all employees to work from home as much as possible, our in-office staff is kept to a minimum number of employees, and on-site hours at our properties have been halted until restrictions are lifted. The Enfield Group Inc. requires all employees to be fully vaccinated. A recently published article from Rod Escayola (Lawyer) on CondoAdviser.ca deals with the new regulations and advises the use of QR code posters at entrances to the buildings as useful screening measures for those arriving onsite. CondoAdviser.ca notes the most prominent changes below: Overview of changes • Social gathering and organized public events must be limited to: • 5 people indoors • 10 people outdoors • Indoor sports and recreational fitness amenities (ie. gyms and pools etc.) must be closed. • Indoor recreational amenities must be closed. • Short-term rentals are now limited to people in need of housing. • Employees must work remotely unless the nature of their work requires them to be on site. • The rest of the measures already in place under Step 3 continue to apply with little changes. These measures will be effective on January 5, 2022 and are expected to be in place for at least 21 days (or January 26, 2022).

A luncheon was held at the Lord Byron Steak & Seafood House in Waterdown on Wednesday to celebrate Lyn Kendall’s retirement. Lyn has been a dedicated team member of The Enfield Group Inc. for just shy of 25 years, having contributed to the success of the property management team since 1997, when The Enfield Group acquired The Lounsbury Group. During her time with Enfield, she has worked with three generations of the Fraleigh family and knows the business inside and out.

On September 22, 2021, The Human Rights Commission announced their stance on mandatory vaccination and the Government of Ontario is still maintaining and requiring full mask wearing in public spaces. The Enfield Group implements both of these policies whole heartedly for the health and safety of our team and their respective families. In addition, we trust that our clients and contractors also adhere to these government policies during the fourth wave of this pandemic. As a result of the Ontario Human Rights Commission declaration regarding mandatory vaccinations and the Government of Ontario masking policy, The Enfield Group and its entire team and affiliates observe the requirements in support of these policies.
