COVENTRY WOODS EMERGENCY PLAN
This Emergency Plan is designed to provide guidance to Coventry Woods residents in the event of a disaster. While no plan can cover every possible situation, having a structured approach helps ensure support is available when needed. Flexibility is key, as circumstances may vary.
The Importance of Knowing Your Neighbours
The most effective Emergency Plans rely on community awareness and cooperation. Knowing your neighbours can make a significant difference in a crisis. Being familiar with those living nearby allows you to recognize when someone may need assistance, whether due to an emergency or simply a welfare check.
If you feel comfortable, consider giving a trusted neighbour a spare key to your home. This information should be recorded on your Emergency Information Sheet.Ongoing
Updates and Improvements
The Emergency Plan will be presented to Owners in stages, and we greatly appreciate any input or suggestion you may have as we move forward. Emergency preparedness is an evolving process. As circumstances change over the years, we remain open to updating and improving this plan. Since this document is digital, it can be easily revised and reprinted as needed.
Thank you for taking the time to review the Emergency Plan. Your preparation and participation contribute to the safety and well-being of our community.

How to Create a Grab and Go Bag:
We ask that Owners provide their visitors with a notice to place on their dashboard to identify the Unit they are visiting. If you are a resident parking in a visitor area, ensure your vehicle has a notice on the dashboard with your Unit number. The Council will issue a warning and then two fines before towing a vehicle. If we cannot identify the Owner of a vehicle, issuing fines becomes difficult. In such cases, we will leave a warning on the dashboard of the unidentified vehicle stating it will be towed on a specified date if it is not moved.
Coventry Woods has 94 Units but only 29 visitor parking spaces that we need to shared among residents and their guests..
the garage of their unit rather than on common property such as aprons or
visitor parking. Strata Lots 1 through 4 (Units 71 through 74) are exempt
from this bylaw, in that an owner, tenant, or occupant may park on their
garage apron but not visitor parking.
11 (3) Residents must not park in those areas designated visitor parking
between the hours of 9:00 AM and 9:00 PM. Residents may use visitor
parking during the hours of 9:00 PM and 9:00 AM.
11 (4) Visitor parking shall only be permitted in designated spaces. Visitors parking
over night must display on their dashboard, A Coventry Woods Visitor Pass
or a note, in large print, stating “I am a visitor to Unit # ___” and shall not
park overnight in excess of 5 consecutive nights without the approval of the
Council.
11 (5) Vehicles parked in violation of subsections (3) and (4) shall be towed at the
owner’s expense.

Notice to Owners, April 4, 2024
Bird Feeders: When walking the Complex, assessing for repairs, we noticed some Owners have Bird Seed Feeders in their back yards. Our Bylaws state that we are allowed to have Hummingbird feeders ONLY, but NO bird seed feeders. Please remove your Bird Seed Feeders as soon as possible as they attract pests.
Service Request Forms: The template for the new 2 sided form will be available on the Coventry Woods website for those Owners who want to print it out in their homes. The completed form must be brought to the Clubhouse and deposited in the Service Request Box. This ensures the forms will be recorded properly and not lost.
Gate Remotes: Thibault has adjusted the vehicle gates to make our remotes more responsive. Thibault advises Owners to press and release the button on your remote to open the gate. Do not hold the button down, as this will interfere with the function of the remote and the gates will not respond as quickly.
