Hi Ray/Ben (Proline/Telus) : the fibre was successfully pulled into the control room today (Friday). 48 fibers have been run in. As there are 36 units and each unit has 1 fiber, this leaves us with 12 spares.
Proposal(s) :
Best wishes

Dr Andrew Ross showcases the Bald Eagles who visit the large evergreen tree between the condo building and the Oak Bay Beach Hotel (2018).
TELUS are planning to pull the fibre into the Hampshire House electric room on the second floor. The underground path is now confirmed to be clear and no “digging” will be needed.
FYI :
We are in negotiation with Telus to get a special package offer for the group.
I will use this mailing list (and this website) to keep owners and residents updated on the TELUS package negotiations which have started. Please let your new friends know if you think they might not be on the mailing list.
The latest email is here : http://mailchi.mp/bc133a5b1925/telus-fibre-at-hampshire-house

First warning for Liz and me came by a call from our pilot son Duncan in London; then our daughter Caitlin called after “big news” of Pacific Tsunami on SKY TV.
Our own “Oak Bay Locals” Facebook Page and Twitter were brilliant. With such a long lead time we called Hotel to get OK to meet there if water height at Port Alberni was > 5 meters.

Tsunami warning in effect for:
For those who were up and following the “imminent arrival” (2 hour warning) it was a good “wake up call”.
Some learnings for me :
1) get our condo building to install manual “alarm”. Maybe manual trigger to fire alarm or sump pump alarm. Turns out our neighbour slept through it, and we would have had no idea she was in her unit.
2) revisit the condo evacuation procedures .
3) Big Thanks to overnight concierge at Oak Bay Beach Hotel who (on phone) was most supportive and welcoming – although we never went there in the end.
