Speaking of updates, Prostar has had people onsite and working since May 4, 2026. Here is an update on what has been finished in that 3+ month period:

The Phase 1 extension is incomplete
The emergency area is incomplete
The Stage 3 area is incomplete
The patios are incomplete

Bonus:

The partial restoration of pavers in front of Building 244 is so out of alignment you get this:

Enterphone installation complete, August 7, 2026

August 7, 2026 by Stan

Omicron started a bit late, but finished installing the new enterphones in all three buildings right on schedule.

A few items to note:

Programming on all enterphones should be complete and matches what was in the system before
Unit numbers are not shown, as before, just buzzer codes
You can now buzz a unit by just tapping on the name, no need to enter the buzzer code
On the other end, a recording will play giving the owner/resident options. To buzz someone in, you now press the asterisk key (*), not the number zero (0)
I do not know what “PIN unlock” does

I’m assuming Omicron will provide more information on the operation of the units. I will post any new information if I get it.

Work Start Date: May 4, 2026 (for emergency repairs) 
Expected completion: December 2026
Primary contractor: Prostar https://prostar.ca/

Weather: 29°C, sunny with some smoke haze
Workers onsite: At least three

Work done today:

Additional work on some of the newly exposed patios at Building 240

Minor delay in Enterphone replacement–work today on Building 240 (Aug. 6, 2026)

August 6, 2026August 6, 2026 by Stan

UPDATE: The 240 building enterphone replacement is complete, see photo below.

The previously announced schedule for Enterphone replacement was:

Building 240: Aug. 5
Building 244: Aug. 6
Building 248: Aug. 7

However, Omicron was not onsite yesterday. I can confirm the 240 building Enterphone is being replaced as I type this, so they appear to be one day behind schedule. I’m not sure how this will affect Buildings 244 and 248.

I’ll update this post if I get more information.

NOTE: Fobs will continue to work normally while the Enterphone is being replaced, so entering a building will work as normal for residents. Each Enterphone is estimated to be out of service for about eight hours while being replaced.

Closure of access to Allen Street, except via fire door in Building 240, to allow for further membrane installation.
