A new page “Guidelines for Landscaping Options” was recently added to the Chelsea today website highlighting four documents addressing recent changes to townhouse landscaping. These documents provide guidelines for townhouse residents wanting to enhance the appearance and drought resistance of their front landscaping areas. These options were approved at the April 2026 AGM and provide detailed recommendations and installation requirements. Residents are reminded that any alterations to common property require pre-approval by council.

Interphone Phone Numbers

The former access system would list “Chelsea Gardens” when a call originated from any of the interphone panels. The new Akuvox system incorporates IP phone numbers (Nova Scota numbers) which can cause confusion Below are the phone numbers that will be displayed when an interphone call is made. Add the appropriate number(s) to your contact list. You can also register the number(s) with your carrier to not block or control access.

Dear Chelsea Gardens,

As we enter the hot summer months several people have requested to install heat pumps. At our AGM we did pass a new bylaw and it is very important to be aware of this bylaw when getting quotes for your install as Energy Management Devices are now required to be installed.

(j) Additions to Electrical System Loads

For the purposes of this bylaw:

“Energy Management Device (EMD)” means a device, system, or software-enabled controller that actively monitors, controls, limits, schedules, or optimizes electrical load to prevent electrical service overload and manage peak demand.

“Electrical Permit” means any permit required for electrical work under applicable building or electrical codes.

“Gas-to-Electric Conversion” means the replacement or removal of any gas-fired appliance with an electrically powered appliance.

“Major Electrical Load” means any electrical installation that significantly increases demand on an electrical service, including but not limited to air conditioning units, heat pumps, electric vehicle charging equipment, or electric space and water heating.

1. An approved Energy Management Device shall be installed when any of the following occur:

• Installation of a new or replacement:
• Air conditioning unit;
• Heat pump;
• Electric vehicle (EV) charging equipment.

Conversion from any gas-fired appliance to an electrically powered appliance, including but not limited to:

• Space heating;
• Water heating;
• Cooking appliances;
• Clothes dryers.
• Any combination of installations or conversions that materially increases electrical load, as determined by the Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ).

1. Device Requirements

• The Energy Management Device shall:
• Be approved by the Authority Having Jurisdiction;
• Be capable of managing electrical loads to prevent service overcapacity;
• Operate automatically without requiring manual user intervention;
• Be compatible with the installed electrical equipment; and
• Comply with all applicable electrical codes and safety standards.

1. Alternatives and Exceptions

• An Energy Management Device shall not be required where the applicant demonstrates, through a load calculation prepared by a qualified professional, that existing electrical service capacity is sufficient without load management for that specific unit capacity only.
• The Authority Having Jurisdiction may approve alternative load-management solutions that achieve equivalent or better performance.
• Temporary installations may be exempt at the discretion of the Authority Having Jurisdiction.

1. Permitting and Inspections

• Proof of Energy Management Device installation shall be provided prior to final electrical inspection approval.
• The Energy Management Device shall be operational at the time of inspection.

Thanks

Windsor— Your Gate Codes are Changing !!

For Windsor residents the gate codes for the Main Vehicle gate and Pedestrian Gate interphone panels are now the same as shown on the Windsor interphone panel. This is due to the recent installation of the new Vehicle and Pedestrian interphone panels. (all panels share the same data base)

On Monday June 15^th the gate codes and interphone name display for Windsor residents on the Windsor front door intercom will change to match the rest of the complex.  The interphone panels will display the same information and gate code as past years.

Example:
Charlie and Naomi Sweet apartment 227 in the Windsor

• Present interphone display: “227”. The Gate code is 227
• New display after Monday: “Sweet C & N 3348”. The new Gate code will be 3348.
• The display and gate code will match what was previously on the interphone panels for many years. See the Kensington and Mayfair interphone panels for examples.

One further note for Windsor: The internet for the parkade and lobby is reset and working once again.
