Parking & Vehicles

Visitor parking is strictly for guests of residents, not for residents themselves.

  • The Pass: You must display a valid BLUE Visitor Parking Pass. Old Green passes are invalid and considered lost/stolen.
  • Registration: No nightly online registration is required, but the physical Blue Pass must be clearly displayed on the dashboard or rearview mirror.
  • Time Limits: A visitor pass may be used for a maximum of eight (8) days per month. For guests staying longer, request a “Long-Term Parking Permit” from Property Management in advance.
  • Caution: Misuse (residents parking in visitor stalls) or failure to display a pass will result in a $250.00 sanction and/or towing.

If you require more parking than your titled underground stall or assigned surface stall provides, you cannot use visitor parking. However, the Corporation occasionally has surface stalls available for lease.

  • Cost: Rental stalls are currently $100.00/month.
  • Process: Contact Go Smart Property Management to be placed on the waiting list or to participate in a lottery for available stalls.

Moving & Deliveries

All moves (in or out) involving the use of the elevator or common property for more than 15 minutes must be scheduled.

  1. 1Notice: Contact Property Management at least seven (7) days in advance.
  2. 2Monitor Fee: A flat rate fee (currently $100) applies to cover the cost of a Move Monitor. This monitor ensures the elevator is locked off, pads are hung, and the area is secured.
  3. 3Hours: Moves are permitted between 8:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m.
  4. 4No Dumping: Do not leave boxes or furniture in the lobby or garbage rooms. Dispose of them off-site.

Pets

South Pointe is a pet-friendly community, but ownership is a privilege subject to strict rules.

  • Approval: You must submit a Pet Application (with vaccination records and City licence) and receive written Board approval before bringing a pet into your unit.
  • Restrictions: Livestock, rodents, reptiles, and exotic animals are prohibited.
  • Green Space: The green space between Building 2000 and 3000 is a designated “Dog Free Zone.” Pets are not permitted in this area to ensure a clean space for families.
  • Waste: You must pick up after your pet immediately. Failure to do so will result in monetary sanctions.

Financials & Condo Fees

Your monthly condominium contributions cover the shared costs of maintaining the Corporation. Approximately 60% of fees go directly to utilities. Coverage includes:

  • Utilities: Heat (Gas), Electricity (Common areas and Units), Water, and Sewer.
  • Maintenance: Snow removal, landscaping, cleaning of common areas (hallways/lobbies), and elevator maintenance.
  • Reserve Fund: Contributions to the fund used for major capital replacements (e.g., roof, siding, parkade repairs).
  • Insurance: The Corporation's insurance policy for the building structure and common property. (Note: You still require your own Unit Owner's Insurance.)

Service & Maintenance

  • Resident Portal (Preferred): Log in to your Buildium account and create a “Service Request.” This creates a trackable ticket for the Board and Management.
  • Email: Send details and photos to info@gosmartmanagers.com.
  • What to report: Burnt-out lights in hallways, door latch issues, leaks in common areas, or cleaning concerns.

For emergencies (Fire, Flood, No Heat, Stuck Elevator, Security Breach), call 403-262-7955 (24/7 line).

Note: Non-emergency calls (e.g., lost keys, noise complaints, moving issues) to the after-hours line may result in a $65.00 administrative fee charged to your unit.

Garbage & Recycling

  • Household Waste: Bagged household garbage must be placed inside the bins in the garbage sheds located in the parking lot.
  • Recycling: Flatten all cardboard boxes and place recyclables in the designated blue bins.
Prohibited (No Dumping): Furniture, mattresses, electronics, appliances, and construction waste CANNOT be left in the garbage sheds or rooms. Dumping large items is a bylaw violation subject to a $500.00 sanction. You must haul these items to the municipal landfill yourself.

Renovations

Yes. Any renovation involving flooring (hard surface), electrical, plumbing, or structural changes requires prior written Board approval.

  • Process: Submit a “Renovation Application” via the Property Manager. You may need to provide drawings and specifications.
  • Cosmetic: Painting walls or changing cabinet hardware generally does not require approval, but if in doubt, ask first.
