Newsletter Racks to Streamline Delivery, Reduce Waste

The Quarterly Tenant Newsletter is a great way to share information about resources available to you, tenant tips, and stories about all the great things communities are up to. That is why we are always working to ensure newsletters get to you faster and more efficiently.

Some upcoming changes 

We have installed racks in common areas such as lounges and laundry rooms in 30 communities. As the courier service delivers the newsletters across OCH communities, they will load racks with enough newsletters for each home in the community.

What are the benefits? 

Doing door-to-door delivery in each community takes approximately three weeks from the first community to the last. Having one drop-off point in some communities should reduce the time it takes to finish delivery across the city.

We also want to reduce waste by ensuring that those who wish to read the newsletter can get a copy. Those who would prefer to read the newsletter online can leave the printed copies on the rack – reducing the number of newsletters that end up in recycling or community waste bins.

Door-to-door delivery will continue in townhome and seniors’ communities.
