Dear Residents,

Chelsea Gardens is looking for volunteers to serve on the Strata Council for the upcoming term.

Being on Council is a great way to stay informed, have a voice in decisions that affect our community, and help maintain the quality and value of our homes. Council members work together to review budgets, oversee maintenance and projects, support community initiatives, and ensure our strata runs smoothly.

You don’t need prior experience — just a willingness to participate, share ideas, and work collaboratively with fellow residents. Support and guidance are available, and it’s a rewarding way to give back to our community.

If you are interested in putting your name forward, or would like to learn more about what’s involved, please contact Ron Plankeel at plankeel@telus.net before the upcoming AGM in April.

We encourage all eligible owners to consider participating. Your involvement makes a difference!

Thank you for helping keep Chelsea Gardens a wonderful place to live.

Sincerely,

Chelsea Gardens Strata Council
