What to do if it gets too hot

The heat dome in 2021 appeared suddenly and that led to some serious outcomes for many. The Province, the Federal government, and regional governments want to be ready for more heat events. So do we at CRHC and CRD. The links below have tips on staying cool if it gets hot. They also explain what to do if you're at risk.

For more information check out "The heat dome and CRHC" article in the CRHC Summer 2022 Newsletter.

Tenant Advisory Committee

The CRD Tenant Advisory Committee was created by the Hospitals and Housing Committee. It aims to improve communication between the CRHC and its tenants. It will also advise on tenant policies to help build healthier communities.

Tenants Insurance

Tenant insurance is a condition of tenancy in many CRHC properties. Even when it isn't a condition of your tenancy, CRHC strongly recommends it. If an event such as a fire means you have to be out of your unit, CRHC does not relocate you. Local municipalities may provide 48-72 hours of emergency housing. After that, you must have a place to stay until your unit is fixed.

If your tenant insurance has lapsed, please renew it with your provider. Or, apply for low-cost tenants insurance through Marsh. The CRHC won't benefit if you insure with Marsh's cheap tenants insurance. We're sharing this for Marsh Canada. We hope it helps you find affordable insurance. If you have any questions, please call their phone number included in the following brochure:

Marsh's Private Client Services runs this tenant's insurance program. It lets you buy insurance to protect your contents. Affordable Tenant’s Insurance available for only $12.50 per month, you will receive $15,000 of contents coverage.

Emergency Preparedness

CRHC encourages all tenants to access emergency preparedness information on the CRD's Prepare Yourself website.
