Craigflower Co-op General Meeting, August 16th, 2022, at 8 PM
July 21st 2022
Greetings Craigflower Co-op members,
We will be holding a general meeting Tuesday, August 16th, 2022 at 8 PM via Zoom. The main agenda item is a housing charge increase. Please see the attached files to find:
- The agenda.
- The draft budget.
- The asset management plan.
This year’s budget was heavily influenced by the Asset Management Plan produced for us by CHF BC. A version of this plan was distributed in September 2021 and again in February 2022 when members reviewed the plan at a workshop. With this in mind, we have invited Nick Dolbilov, Asset Management Program Analyst from CHF BC to attend this General Meeting to answer any questions you might have. He will be joining us online from Vancouver.
Note that the meeting can be joined without a computer by using the dial in number. Here is the information you will need to join the meeting:

We will be offering popular workshops such as Ask The Lawyers – Sublets, Roommates, and Occupancy Standards and presenting new workshops such as Rebuilding Social Connectedness and Participation Post-COVID-19. This session will provide attendees with new frameworks, concrete strategies, and practical resources housing co-ops can actively adopt for reviving connections.

Information for Members: Changes to Notices
February 18th 2022
Going forward, the Board will be moving away from delivering paper notices, both for better efficiency, and to reduce waste. The Board has proactively reached out to CHFBC, who have indicated that this shift to emailed notices falls within the guidelines of the Craigflower Rule 26.1 (e). Going forward, all notices and updates, including notice of AGMs and fee increases, will be provided to all members via the email address that has been registered with the co-op. Other announcements can be found on the website and bulletin board. If you require a medical accommodation regarding paper notices, please reach out to the Board to make arrangements.
As always, the Board appreciates your engagement and participation. Please reach out to us directly with any questions or comments at theboard@craigflower.ca

Notice to Members: Asset Management Plan
September 27th 2021
- This is a living plan that will need to be updated regularly, at least every 3 years.
- In it’s current first draft, it does not capture some of the additional work that the co-op will be undertaking with our loan monies, most of this work is based on membership feedback from the CHF BC survey conducted in July 2021.
- This plan looks at the co-op’s current assets only and so if there are future projects that the Board or members want to take on, these would need to be added.
- For example, with the co-op’s Preservation Funding Grant, we had an Energy Study done which recommended –
- EV charging stations.
- Heats pumps in each unit.
- The Asset Management Plan will be a great resource for the co-op once completed to get clarity on the timeline of projects, i.e. a complete driveway replacement.

Notice to All Members from Ground Committee: Blackberry Brambles
March 10th 2021
Hello everyone.
With spring around the corner we want to get a jump on keeping any invasive species (mainly the blackberries) to a manageable state before they burst.
Over the next two weeks we will be pruning any such areas. If you want to help that would be great, or if you know any areas that need attention please let us know.
If you do cut any down, we will collect and dispose of the trimmings, as they cannot go into the trailer. Just send us an email at grounds@craigflower.ca
Thanks everyone
