Happy Spring!
Please check your email ( May 6th.7th) for important information re this spring's projects. Paper copies will be distributed to thos without email access. 

Its  Raining...lots!
While we  wait for real spring and the warm weather please remember that  lawn experts warn against raking up debris and leaves until at earliest May 1st. or until the nigh time temperature is consistent at 10 deg. C.  This is because the lawn debris is protecting  important pollinators and naturally occurring  organisms that help protect our lawns from invasive species. These beneficial pollinators and microorganisms require the leaf litter etc. to stay warm on cold days and nights. So although it looks better for now it may actually weaken the lawns later. Check out the article here.
Although  it may be hard to believe it will get warm enough and dry enough to consider watering, we know it will come quickly- PLEASE read the reminder in the newsletter re Durham Region's mandatory even - odd day watering. This is for ALL weather and not just during draught times. ( May through Sept every year!)

Spring & Summer Maintenance Projects
As outlined in the May 6th email and Spring Newsletter, the Colour Refresh Project is ready for the next step which is for residents to register their colour choices with the Board. We realize many of you may need to revisit the approved colours.

We have the approved colour chips available. If interested email us at dcc100board@gmail.com  to request the samples as soon as possible, register your colour choice or to ask for clarification. If you want to alter your door colours this spring we need your information no later than May 31st!

Beswick Driveway Replacement Project.
Also beginning the spring!! More info and a detailed schedule will follow. Check back here! One side of Beswick will be done followed by the other. South Balsam will be completed next year.

PLEASE talk to opposite neighbours to make plans to share driveways during work and repay the favour when its your turn!
Visitor lots will need to be used during this time. 

South Balsam owners thankyou for NOT using Visitor Lots during the repaving to allow use by Beswick owners.
