Safety in Building Stairwells
Over the past week, UFH staff received reports of non-residents trespassing in stairwells at 30 Charles. We take these reports and the safety of our community very seriously. In response, additional security staff have been stationed in the stairwells to monitor the exterior of 30 Charles and spend time in that stairwell to deter further trespassing. Campus Safety has also been informed of this situation as Security calls upon them for additional support when needed. We continue to encourage residents to please contact our operations team directly to discuss any security related matters and to review safety precautions they can take on our website.
Parcel Delivery Safety Reminder
With the holiday season fast approaching, many residents may be expecting more packages and deliveries. Our security team continues to monitor for people entering the building without using their FOBs and to request verification of identity for all delivery personnel who enter the buildings. As a reminder, to minimize theft, we’ve been advised by Campus Safety to suggest residents use a ‘ship to store’ option for deliveries. Additionally, Canada Post FlexDelivery allows your parcels to be delivered to the post office of your choice. Penguin Pickup and Amazon Pickup also accept and hold parcels securely until you pick them up. For more information and tips on having parcels delivered safely, please visit our website.
