The annual inspection of our fire alarm system, required by the City of Calgary Fire Code, is upon us again. We realize that this inspection can be a hardship for a lot of the residents of the Wedgewoods but the safety of all who live here is paramount to both the Board of Directors and Management thus we must ask that everyone help us ensure the proper functioning of the systems that are designed to save lives in the event of a fire emergency. This can only be done by annual physical inspections of the alarms located in your suite, therefore we need someone to be home to allow our contractor, Simplex Grinnell, into your unit for about 10 minutes for the test.

In trying to accommodate your busy lives we will repeat the method used last year to reduce the time you need to be home for your test date to half a day. Attached to your individual notification is a Post-it sticky. Please indicate "AM" or "PM" on the sticky and place it on the exterior of your door on the day of your scheduled test and a Simplex Grinnell technician will attend to your unit accordingly.

"AM" will be sometime between 8:15am and noon.
"PM" will be sometime between 12:30pm and 4:30pm

Thank you very much in advance for your cooperation in this Alarm System test!!
