Stay Smart, Stay Safe – Let’s Talk About Scams
Scams can come in many forms!

We’ve recently heard that some homeowners within our community have been targeted by scams—and in a few cases, significant financial losses have occurred.

First and foremost: there is absolutely no embarrassment or shame in this. Today’s scammers are highly sophisticated. They are skilled at gaining trust, creating urgency, and identifying vulnerabilities. This isn’t just about technology—it’s about human connection, timing, and pressure.

Rent – Taxes – CRA Let’s Clear the Air Click here to view
You’ve asked. We’ve heard. Let’s break it down. In Sandycove, we own our homes but lease the land from Parkbridge — and that creates a lot of confusion when it comes to taxes.
Here’s the simple truth: You cannot claim your land lease fees or property taxes as a deduction on your income tax return. That’s because the CRA treats them as personal living expenses.
BUT — there’s good news! Click or tap here You may qualify for financial support through the Ontario Trillium Benefit and Ontario Senior Homeowners Property Tax Grant (OTB and OSHPTG)
