Annual
Winter Magic in the Village
Decorating Challenge
Bayview Village Association is again
holding the Winter Magic in the Village decorating challenge. We invite
residents to celebrate the holiday season in December with home outdoor decorations. Share your holiday spirit with your
neighbors and you could win a great price!
We’ve lined up excellent judges who will pick a
winner in each of the following categories:
|
1. Most original display 2. Best use of nature 3. Best use of colour 4. Best non-electrical display 5. Merriest Street in the Village |
|
Decorations must be up by Saturday December 22, 2007
How you decorate is up to you. Residents should note that judging will occur
during the evening so displays need to be adequately lit.
Winners will be announced on our web site in time for our residents to
view the winning decorations. So, get
your whole family involved and join in the fun.
The more decorated homes we have in the Village, the greater the winter
magic.

TIPS OF THE MONTH: Shred – Shred – Shred Residents should be aware that theives go through garbage
and bins looking for personal information – found on envelopes, bills,
letters, etc. Play it safe: remove all identification before you put out your
papers, try to put out garbage/recycle on the morning of collection, shred
all personal information. Residents have reported observing a man picking through
papers in recycle bins. LOCK YOUR
CAR– or if possible keep it in your locked
garage. Residents have reported at least two recent incidents of theives
breaking into cars during the night (stealing contents) and using garage door
openers to gain entry into the garage – and helping themselves to items. |

OutDoor Lighting
Switch to seasonal
Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) for all your festive
lighting. LEDs use up to 95 % less electricity, don't
produce any heat (making them a safer and more energy efficient choice).
LEDs are virtually unbreakable, more durable and easier to
maintain because you won't have to change the bulbs. Save Money: One dollar will get you 15 days
of LED holiday lighting compared to 15 hours of incandescent holiday lighting.
One set of 35 LED lights, operating for six hours a day, will consume less than
5 cents of electricity per month.

New
Blue Bins Coming To NOTE: Also coming are new garbage bins – these will
not be available until late 2008 and there will be a cost associated with
them. Details will follow. |
