Some footage from today's rally for repairs, where we dropped off 50 work order requests to our landlord @MedallionCorp.

Tomorrow morning at 11 our landlords, Livewell Property Management will be using a company called Canadian Tenant Inspections to enter our homes for an "inspection". Are CTI general contractors? Engineers? No, they are ex-police who specialize in detecting criminal activity.

We're here at 94-96 East Ave S: where tenants are resisting the presence of ex RCMP law enforcement sent in for a "building inspection." Let's talk for a minute about the Landlord Credit Bureau. 1/

Another obvious preventative measure missing from the plan: BRING THE VACCINE TO THE PEOPLE! Door-to-door vaccination, mobile bus clinics, pop-up clinics on the front lawn, etc. should be done in every apartment building as a preventative measure.

Finally! Hamilton public health managers and politicians wake up to what we have been saying all along. But as our neighbours Arefin and Richard say, this is too little, too late. https://t.co/3Qn06H3pmD

@MedallionCorp's motto is "A Symbol of Quality". This has not been our experience.

[Rebecca Towers Tenants @RebeccaTenants]

This morning we held a small rally in front of the #RebeccaTowers to demand that @MedallionCorp address the massive backlog of repair requests in our building. Several tenants who weren't able to attend showed their support by hanging banners off their balconies.

[Rebecca Towers Tenants @RebeccaTenants]

We dropped off nearly 50 work order requests, and after some initial hesitation, Medallion staff accepted them. We emailed copies of the work orders to a number of @MedallionCorp executives and senior property managers to make sure they don't get 'lost'.
