To All Parishes of the Diocese

The bigeest threats to our buildings right now are risks of Bursting Pipes, Vandalism and Fire.

Burst Pipes:  As you can see from the Vacant Building Checklist (linked below), if water is left on, then 72 hour inspeictions are ncessary.  Recommended (when at all possible) is that the toilets/sinks/pressure tanks/water pipes be drained and the water shut off.

Vandalism:  The RCMP Detachement nearest to the building should be asked to include the property in their inspection route.

Fire: Furnance inspectrions must be up-to-date/or updated.  Oil levels must be monitored.  In the event of a snow storm, access to the building must be maintained by the contractor/volunteer who normally keeps the entrances to the buildings and parking lots plowed.

I am happy to discuss any of your questions
