Access Cards and Fobs
Access cards are utilized for security. They operate the parkade and other
common area doors including elevators. These cards have a unique number that
has been entered into the security computer allowing access to common areas and
Owners to their floor only. Removing this number from the computer will render
the card inoperable. Notify the Property Manager immediately if your card is lost
or stolen. Each unit is allowed a maximum number of cards per unit for security
reasons. The maximum number is set by the Board of Directors Two cards per unit
are provided free of charge. Additional cards are available at a cost of $25.00 each
up to the maximum allowed. The attached request form should be completed and
given to the Chief Concierge
If you wish to give access to someone else, leave an access card with the Concierge
along with the name of the person who will be picking it up. That person will
return it to the Concierge on his or her way out.
It is the owners responsibility to turn over these access devices to the Chief
Concierge or to the new owners when moving out.
Intercom Card Access System DO NOT ALLOW ENTRY TO UNKNOWN VISITORS
This system has been designed to provide both security and ease of operation. It
works through your regular touch-tone telephone and you can open the front door
or parkade door from your suite. Visitors at the front or parkade entrance doors
can reach you on your telephone by dialing the number listed in the intercom
directory. Visitors can be viewed through your TV set on cable channel 399 if this
service has been selected by the Owner from Shaw Cable or channel 117 on basic
cable.
- Your telephone will ring when there is a call on the intercom
- Press 9 to open the door or gate and allow entry
- Simply hang up to deny entry.
If you have a call-waiting feature and are talking on the phone, a muted tone will be
heard over your conversation as with regular telephone calls:
- Put your call on hold while you speak to the other caller
- Press 9 to open the door or gate and allow entry
- Return to your first caller
Visitor Parking
There are visitor parking stalls located on parking levels 1 and 2. Visitors arriving
by car can contact an Owner through the intercom located at the entrance to the
parkade. The parkade door can be released by the Owner pressing 9 on their
touch-tone phone. For overnight guests, please book visitors parking with the
Concierge. You will require a Visitor Pass for your guests vehicle.
There are nine clearly marked visitor parking stalls in the parkade. The present
situation of free use of visitor stalls by guests at any time will remain unchanged
provided that the duration of the visit will be less than 12 hours.
1. Visitors planning a visit and corresponding use of a visitor stall for longer than
12 hours are now required to register with the Concierge, to confirm the
anticipated length of stay, and to obtain a permit
2. It will be the Owners responsibility to see that registration occurs
3. Tradesmen will not be permitted to use the visitor parking stalls at any time.
They must utilize the outside turnaround parking area located in front of our
building
4. Vehicles left unregistered for longer than 12 hours run the risk of being towed
without notice.
A reminder that we are now utilizing large parking permits which will allow guests
or trades people to park in the turnaround area located in front of our building for
more than the 30 minute maximum allowed. These permits are available at the
front desk and must be signed for and returned after use. Visitors who require a
permit can be instructed to acquire one directly from the Concierge. It will be the
Owners responsibility to ensure that the Concierge is contacted at 403-263-1312
and that a permit is issued. In the absence of the Concierge the telephone is callforwarded
to the Concierges cell phone (403-809-8372).
When leaving the building, permit holders must return their permits to the front
desk or directly to the Owners to forward to the front desk. Again, in the absence of
the Concierge, he can be reached on the cell phone. The Calgary Parking Authority
will, without contacting the Point on the Bow, ticket all vehicles parked without
permits.
Move-in/Move-out and Major Furniture Deliveries
The following provisions apply when an Owner uses the loading dock, elevator or
other areas of common property for a household move or major furniture delivery:
1. Please complete the attached Move In/Move Out and Acknowledgement of
Liability forms and contact the Concierge to finalize a move-in/move-out time
so that the elevator can be reserved
2. Prior to the move, pay to the Corporation a damage deposit of $500 by cheque
payable to Point on the Bow Condominium Corporation.
The damage deposit will be used to pay for damage caused to the Common
Property of the Corporation during such move. If no damage is caused by the move,
the damage deposit will be returned to the Owner. The cost to repair any damages
caused during the move will be deducted from the damage deposit and should the
costs to repair damages exceed the amount of the deposit, the Owner will pay such
excess to the Corporation.
Security System
The security for the common area is provided by the restricted entry system
controlled through the use of the intercom and closed circuit TV cameras at each
entry. The access cards used by residents have unique code numbers that are
recorded in the security computer. These numbers can be removed from the
computer system rendering the card inoperable if lost or stolen.
The TV cameras located at each entry have their view recorded on which could
then be reviewed at a later date should there be a breach of security.
Each suite is pre-wired for a security alarm system for the suite itself. Installation
of such a system would be the responsibility of the Owner.
Service Entrance
Contractors and delivery personnel may park at the service entrance/loading dock
only for the time required to load or unload equipment, materials, furniture, etc.,
and must keep the fire exit clear at all times. They should be instructed to contact
the Concierge upon arrival.
Owner, Absence Procedure
If Owners are to be away for periods greater than one week, the Concierge is to be
notified and provided with written authorization for suite inspections and contact
information by using an Owner Absence Form, a copy of which is included in this
site and copies are available from the Concierge.

The library on the first floor and the recreation and social amenities located on the

residents and their guests. They are not to be used for business purposes. The
following guidelines are intended to encourage the use of these amenities while
ensuring that they are used in a safe, considerate and generally responsible
manner.
1. Hours of operation are flexible except when using the sundeck and barbecue
where there is a deadline of 10:00 p.m. on weekdays and 11:00 p.m. on
weekends
2. Rules for use of the swimming pool and Jacuzzi, posted in the swimming pool
area, must be followed at all times
3. Residents should accompany their guests to the amenity areas and provide
instruction and supervision as required. Smoking is prohibited
4. Children under the age of 12 years must be supervised at all times and, for
safety reasons, are not allowed in the exercise room
5. Residents are responsible for the actions and conduct of their guests and must
report any amenity or equipment damage to the Concierge
6. The social room must be booked in advance with the Concierge and a fee of
$20.00 for each event booking, payable by cheque only, is to be provided to the
Concierge at the time of booking. The Concierge will log each event booking to
ensure that the amenities are not double-booked. The resident booking the
social room is responsible for providing or arranging for cleaning services
7. Barbecue use is available on a first come/first served basis unless the barbecue
is booked in conjunction with a social room and sundeck event. When
barbecuing, the barbecue must never be left unattended, especially when
children are in the vicinity. When use of the barbecue is finished, the barbecue
and grill must be cleaned, or arrangements made for such cleaning. The cover
must be replaced after a cool-down period and all refuse must be placed in the
garbage receptacle
8. The weight machine in the exercise room should be used with care and caution
in order to avoid personal injury, equipment damage and unnecessary noise
transference. The weights must never be dropped as the plates easily fracture
and are costly to replace. Instructions in the use of the weight machine are
posted in the exercise room. Personal instruction in the use of the treadmill,
cycle and weight machine can be arranged through the Concierge
9. Showers and lockers are available in the change rooms and users are asked to
provide their own locks to secure their belongings. The maximum length for
personal use of a locker is 24 hours. Used towels are to be deposited in the
circular bins located in the change rooms and swimming pool area for proper
cleaning. When using the change rooms, please minimize the noise and banging
of shower and locker doors as the walls are shared with an Owners suite and
the noise can be disruptive to the inhabitants
10. When leaving, replace the Jacuzzi and swimming pool covers, close all
doors and switch off the steam room and lights in order to reduce energy
consumption and costs.
Parkade Level
Car Wash Bay
The Car Wash and Vacuum Service are coin operated in order to offset the cost of
the operating expenses of these units. All income generated is deposited to the
general revenue of the Corporation.
As with any common property area, please ensure the car wash bay is left clean and
tidy after you have washed your vehicle.
No vehicle repairs are to be carried out in the Car Wash area.
Elevators
Elevator manufacturing and installation is controlled by government authorities to
ensure compliance with fire and safety regulations. They are serviced and
maintained monthly and inspected annually to ensure safe operation.
Elevators are equipped with an alarm button that can be used should someone
become trapped inside a stopped or malfunctioning elevator. If this alarm is heard
the Concierge should be contacted promptly.
Hot Water Heating
Hot Water heating works by the radiant heat method. The water is heated in a
central boiler and distributed through pipes to individual radiators or through
continuous pipes. These boilers are located in the mechanical room and are
maintained along with other mechanical equipment through a service contract.
This type of heating system does not require as much maintenance as a forced air
system because it has less moving parts. The majority of the maintenance will
concern the heating unit or boiler. Periodic inspections to ensure that proper
temperatures and pressures are maintained will be required. This system is
supplemented by in-unit heat pumps which provide mechanical heating and
cooling.
Any heating, ventilation or air-conditioning related costs located within the unit
are the responsibility of the Owner.
Sprinklers
Fire sprinklers are installed in each unit and throughout the common areas. New
designs in sprinkler heads have allowed them to be less conspicuous than ever
before and may go unnoticed. Sprinkler heads are heat activated and independent
of each other so only the ones exposed to extreme temperatures will open. The
sprinkler system is designed to maintain a minimum pressure in the lines well
above that of the water supply. When the pressure drops below this level it
signifies a release in the system or the opening of a head and will sound an alarm.
Apartment style developments require annual inspections by the Fire Department
of their fire safety equipment and alarms.
Storage Lockers
Storage lockers are located on the parking levels and are individually owned by
occupants of the building. Please do not leave belongings in front of these storage
doors or in your parking stall. All bikes are to be stored in storage lockers or in
the bike racks on levels P1 and P2.
Garbage Chutes
Chutes are on each floor for disposal of waste to the compactor located on the main
floor in the back garbage room.
The garbage chute is designed for household garbage disposal only. Prior to its
disposal, garbage should be placed in GLAD type Kitchen Catcher (22 x 24) or
equivalent, bags and securely tied.
The system is NOT intended for:
- Loose garbage, i.e. boxes, packing materials, clothing, dead plants and flowers
- Flimsy disposal bags (such as Safeway, etc.) which break on impact
- Large yard-type refuse bags which can plug the chute
- Animal waste, including kitty litter, bagged or otherwise.
Please ensure that garbage has gone down the chute before closing the chute
door.
Loose materials or bulky items, which could plug the chute, should be
deposited directly into the large waste bin located in the garbage room on the
main floor.
All glass, tins, papers and magazines which can be recycled should be
deposited in the blue bins located for this purpose in the garbage room.
Cardboard boxes to be placed in the bin in the back garbage room must be broken
down and flattened so as not to take up too much room in the bin.
Recycling Program
Point on the Bow has an expanded recycling program that is managed by our Chief
Concierge. Bins are set up in the garbage room located on the main floor. A sheet
