happy. Please read them and strive to be a good Member of the community.
OPEN AND VOLUNTARY MEMBERSHIP
You must be a full-time student to be accepted into Neill-Wycik and we try to achieve a 50-50

ApOUTICAL
Neill-"Wycik doesn't take sides on the political spectrum. We will not make donations to one
political party nor will we become involved in political movements for change not directly
rdated to housing. We do, however, respect any Member's activities in these areas.
A CO-OPERATIVE EDUCATIONAL ENVIRONMENT
Neill-"Wycik is not just a place to hang your hat. By bringing a group of people together from
around the world, and supplying them with private and communal space, we hope to teach the
art of co-operation. By offering educational facilities and seminars in current issues and by
encouraging opportunities for volunteering and for working, we hope to create an environment
where our Members can devdop personal skills while contributing to their community.
NON-PROFIT
We take in a certain amount of money from rents and the hotel and spend it on maintenance,
salaries, mortgages, utilities and other expenses. Anything left goes into the reserves for major
repairs, capital expenditures etc. There is no person or group of people who benefit if we have a
surplus; we all share in our financial successes and failures.
COMMUNITY AND CO-OPERATION
Neill-Wycik's objective is to promote and build community and relationships with
surrounding communities and co-operatives locally, nationally and internationally.

."'; ',. ........ ncy Agreement
E
ach Member signs an occupancy agreement. You should acquaint yourself with the
occupancy agreement and the Bylaws as these two items govern the way you must con-
duct yourself. There is no such thing as '1 didn't It is your responsibility to educate

but here are the 'Hot Highlights' ... details and further information must be taken from the
actual occupancy agreement:

notice (from first of month) and sign a Notice to Vacate. There is a $50.00 administration
fee for breaking the occupancy agreement
2. Members must get permission of the Co-operative to paint or decorate unit.
3. Members must keep their unit clean and not allow garbage to accumulate. Members must clean

A MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT
Welcome to Neill-Wycik, a community unto itself. You will discover as you go through
this manual and during your time here, that by design, Neill-Wycik is like no other
place you have ever lived or will ever live.
Wycik has everything you need, from the friendly Residence Assistants who are here to
answer your questions, organize activities and help you adjust to your new
living environment to the professional staff who keep the building
functioning on a day to day basis. Services are geared for students and include
photocopiers, fax machine, 24 hour security, a full-team of maintenance staff. weight
room, billiards room and computer lab.
Overseeing all of this is your Board of Directors. We are elected by you to ensure the
viability of Neill-Wycik for the future. We want to do everything we can so that you
have the best and most productive time possible. If you ever have any questions
and/or concerns feel free to approach your RA, Board member or staff person.
Who owns this building? You do! Everyone who lives here has an equal share in
the ownership. Who is responsible for making us do two hours every month to the
building? We are! Members have voted for the rules, bylaws, housing charges and
polices and we have agreed to uphold them.
I encourage everyone to get involved. The more people involved in the
building, the better life will be at Wycik. How do you get involved? Join or start a
committee, create and participate in building events, challenge the board on issues you
feel strongly about.
Together we can ensure that everyone enjoys the time spent at Wycik. It is the
responsibility of every member to do what they can to make a difference so that
Neill-Wycik is able to continue to provide a unique living experience for future
members in the years to come.
Enjoy your time here and make it count!

[ . A Very Brief HistOrym Lesson 1
28
years! That's how long we
have been providing inexpensive
downtown accommodation to students from
around the world - and it all started with a
small group of motivated, budget conscious
students.
One of those students was Kathy Whalen.
I
n 1966, Kathy enrolled in the Early
Childhood Education program at Ryerson
and became involved in student politics. She
was hired by the student union to operate the
newly created Housing Registry. Immediately
she recognized the need for an on-campus
residence. She liked the idea of a Co-op as
opposed to a normal school residence because
it offered students control over their
environment as well as low-cost housing.
A
fter persistent lobbying on Kathy's part,
in September 1967, approval was
received to start working on a high-rise
Co-op. In December, the Canadian Union
of Students sent Stan Adelman, as field
worker to Ryerson to help the group find
money and a plan for the long project ahead.
The first thing the Co-op needed was a
building from which they could operate to
gain some experience and raise capital.
Ryerson offered its property at 325 Church
Street, a building slated for demolition, to be
used as a residence.
O
n Christmas Eve, 1968 a $5.4 million
dollar mortgage was finally approved by
the CHMC. Many problems arose, but the
building finally opened and by August 15,
1970 all the spots were filled.
T
he Group decided to name Neill-Wycik
after three people. Wycik is after Aurilee
and Raymond Wycik, two warm hearted
individuals who do ran a small cafeteria in
Kerr Hall However,
Wycik College
sounded a lot like
Wycliffe College,
a divinity school
at the University
of Toronto. Kathy
suggested adding on
A.S. Neill's name. Neill
was the Principal of Summerhill, one of the
most successful English free schools.
I
n December 1986, work began on second
wing, the McGill Wing. This wing was
built as a result of a city variance which forced
us to build more parking space. We didn't
have the requisite number of spots for a
[ A Very Brief History Lesson 1
building our size. Because the cost of
building a garage would have resulted in
extraordinary increases to the rents of all
members, a consultant suggested that we
build more living space on top of the garage
to help fund the cost of building the garage.
After several delays, the McGill Wing was
opened in January 1988.
I
n 1995, with much fanfare, Neill-Wycik
celebrated its 25th Anniversary. Look for
the year 2000 when we will be celebrating
our 30th Anniversary!
O
ver the past three years, we have spent
over $3.5 million dollars to upgrade our
aging building. This has included:
Washroom and kitchen renovations
(including new appliances) in almost all the
Gerrard Wing multi-units; washroom
A Renovated "F' unit kitchen
renovations in the A and B u n i ~ ; new boilers
and make up air unit for the Gerrard Wing;
retrofitted, energy efficient lighting in all
corridors and Gerrard Wing hallways; new
common area furniture for the McGill Wing
multis; new carpeting in all multi-units and
common area hallways; upgrades to the
garage; new roof deck renovations on the 23rd
floor; new furniture in the Hanke lounge;
new washers and dryers; curtains for the
Gerrard Wing multis; new air-conditioning
for the lobby and Cafe, improved ventilation
for the bathrooms; new billiards room;
upgraded equipment for the computer lab
and the new awnings. Still to come: a
renovated lobby for Christmas 1998 and
ongoing exterior brickwork.

mean to you as a member?
N
eill-Wycik is a mini-city - 750 people living
in one environment complete with our
own community security, maintenance crew,
recreational facilities, board of directors, and our
very own By-laws to make sure peace reigns
throughout the building.
T
here are consequences if you fail to abide by
the by-laws, but we sincerely hope you will
never have to get familiar with them:
For Minor By-law Breaches:
(e.g. noise complaints, incomplete work hours)
1. Meet with Residence Assistant or the
Community Security Representative
to resolve situation.
A
s a member of Neill-Wycik, it is important for
you to familiarize yourself with the policies 2.
and By-laws. Remember that the by-laws were
proposed, argued, voted and passed by you, the 3.
Member! When you sign that Occupancy
Agreement you have agreed to abide by these
simple rules of courtesy and behaviour. If you
want more detail , full copies of the by-laws are
available in the office or you can ask your
Residence Assistant.
Meet or receive letter from the
Residence Life Manager.
Appear before the Member Relations
Committee (a committee of members who
live in the building and decide on sanctions)
- they may decide to assign you work hours,
issue letters of apology, revoke your privileges
to use the facilities, upgrade to another room,
or attend a Board meeting for possible
eviction.
Here is a summary of the most
important by-laws:
V Please contribute two hours of your time
to the building.
V Please help to keep Neill-Wycik drug free.
tI Pets may only live in non-multi units.
(ask your RA, as there is more to this)
V Please attend the Annual General Meeting
and the General Members Meetings.
tI Harassment, threats and assaults or
impeding the quiet enjoyment of
others is not tolerated.
V Respect the property of Neill-Wycik
and it members.
tI Do not let strangers in the building.
V You are responsible for the actions
of your guests at all times.
V Please remember to pay your rent on time.
tI Keep your private bedroom and Unit clean.
tI Remember pranks, tampering with fire safety
equipment, fire alarms or throwing things
out windows will affect your residency.
For Major By-law Breaches:
(e.g. pulling a fire alarm, drug use, theft, violence,
harassment)
1. Required to meet with the Residence
Life Manager to discuss the situation.
2. Appear before the Board, where possible
consequences are - community service
hours, fines, non-renewal in the Co-op
and/or eviction, trespass notices.
3. For serious situations, the Police may
be called.
W
e are lucky to have so many great members
who never cause any problems, but there are
always a few who decide to push the limits.
Remember ignorance is not an excuse in the
building; educate yourself, talk to your Residence
Assistant and if you didn't get to an Orientation
session on the By-laws, get a copy of them from
your Residence Assistant.
[ Governance at Neill-Wycik, 1
Neill-Wycik Co-operative College Incorporated.
N
eill-wycik is the name, the rest describes what
we are. As a Co-operative, we are owned and
operated by our members (this is you!) The College
part of our name signifies our mandate to help you
achieve a higher level of education inside and outside
of school. Finally, we are a business, and although we
are not profit driven, we are charged with ensuring
the future financial health of the building.
N
eill-wyci k'S Board of Directors consists of
twelve members of the building elected to their
positions at the Annual General Meeting by you, the
member. The Board hires the Managers who in turn
hire the staff needed to effectively run the operations
of the Co-operative. Many of our managers and staff
are current or past members of the building. The
Board sets the poliCies, creates long term and short
term objectives, and provides an overall direction
for the bUilding. The Board also rules on By-law
infractions, and reviews budget concerns.
B
eing a member of the Board is often challenging,
frustrating and (believe it or not) rewarding.
Confidentiality, integrity and responsibility are just a
few of the important traits that each Board Member
must develop throughout their terms. It doesn't look
bad on a resume either!
T
he Board is also fortunate to have an Advisory
Council consisting of volunteers outside the
building. Our Advisory includes six respected members
of Torontonian Society from various backgrounds:
Brian lIer, of the law firm Her, Campbell is
a lawyer well known in the Co-op sector.
Coak Snell, is a former Executive with
the Royal Bank of Canada.
Gayle Christie, is the former Mayor of York.
Bob Luker, is an instructor of Community
Development at George Brown College
and a former Registrar at Neill-Wycik.
Ross Blaine, is an independent Consultant
and the former CEO of Neill-Wycik.
A
ny member is welcome to attend a Board
Meeting. Meetings are held every second
and fourth Tuesday of each month in the 2nd
Floor Meeting Room. Agendas are posted on the
bulletin boards beside the elevators a few days in
advance of a meeting. If you wish to have the board
address an issue, simply contact Corporate Secretary,
by leaving a message for them at the front desk of the
building or in the office upstairs and they will contact
you about your issue and a date.
I
t is the responsibility of the Board to look after
your interests and the interests of future members.
It is your responsibility to let your Board members
know how you feel about the building and bring up
any issues that concern you. It is only in this way we
can work together to make this building the best.
Steve Barber, President
Steve has been President since
approximately November 1997. He
has been quickly skyrocketed
from being 'just an interested
member', to sitting on a number of
committees, becoming a Board
member and being elected President. His vast
experience working with students have certainly
been an asset as a board member. He is
currently employed with TD Bank systems
working on that ominous Y2K problem. Steve is
the guy who is in attendance at almost every
meeting in the building.
Nancy McLeod, Vice-President
Nancy has been an RA and then was
persuaded into becoming a board
member. Tireless, she volunteers
on numerous committees, special
taskforces and is always available
to help someone in need.

know what else to write, so I'm
going to babble on for another
five words. As you elected me to ...
(okay, that's five words) .

1998. He has lived at Neill-Wycik
for three years and was an RA for
one year. He has been the ACC Phone
representative in the building for the

of brains too! He can be found in the
weight room all the time!
Jason Levesque
A former RA, Jason was elected
to the Board in 1997. A
colourful individual, Jason is THE
promoting genius of Neill-Wycik.
He has an amazing ability to rally
people to a cause. His sense of humour and
charming ways have made him a favorite
character in the building.
Directors, Stacey has lived in
Neill-Wycik for the past year and
worked as the part-time Accounts
Payable clerk in the office for the
same time. Petite and dynamic, Stacey
also has great hair days and if you come out to a
board meeting, she might share her secrets.
Cory Swick:
A Chemical Engineering student
from Ryerson, Cory admires
philosophy, psychology, and auto-
mechanics. His personal religion
is not to work on Sunday; and to
explore nature's rich open-field of
greenery. Ask him anything, he's versatile.
Fred Prevatt:
Fred is a concerned and sensitive
individual, who thinks of Wycik as
his home. As others wash dishes
to contribute, Fred joins the
Board, is part of the Security staff
and heads the SAC sports committee.
With his daring smile he says "Hello n

degree and working at the Art Gallery of
Ontario. She has contributed to the Movie

Kerri is also a newcomer to the
Board, but she has certainly been
active in the building as a RA. She
was also a member of the Social
Activity Committee, and is now
ready to take on the challenge of being a
Board Member.
The Neill.Wycik Burs'aty Program
B
eginning in the Fall of 1998, Neill-Wycik will
have a Bursary Program. A Bursary is an award
based on financial need, without undue emphasis
on a student's academic standing. There will be
four (4) Bursaries of $500.00 each per school year
available to members in financial need. Two
Bursaries will be given out in the fall, and two will
be given out in the winter.
Source of Bursary Funds:
M
oney for the Bursary Program has been
generously donated from two sources.
$1000.00 per year will come from the Board of
Director's budget and the other $1000.00 per year
will be provided by Coca-Cola Ltd.
Disbursement:
T
he applications for fall Bursaries will be avail-
able starting the first week of September and
accepted until September 30, 1998. 1\vo Bursaries
will be awarded by mid-November. Applications for
winter Bursaries be available sometime in
December and will be accepted until January 15,
1999. 1\vo Bursaries will be awarded sometime in
late February or early March.
\
Eligibility:
T
o be eligible to apply for a Neill-Wycik Bursary,
you must be a member in good standing and
you must have lived at Neill-Wycik for a minimum
of 4 months at the time of application. Returning
members who lived here for a minimum of 4
months last school year are also eligible. You must
be an undergraduate or teacher's college student
who is currently enrolled in at least 51 % of a full
course load, and you must have a minimum
cumulative G.P.A. of 2.0. Because graduate students
can pursue alternate sources of funding, the
Bursary will not be open for them. The major
consideration of the Bursary Committee will be
financial need, but your contributions to the
Neill-Wycik community over and above minimal
Member Contribution Program requirements will
also be an important factor.
For more information on the
Neill- UJtcik Bursary program,
please feel free to inquire in the
Co-op Office on the 22nd floor.

A
re you highly motivated
and organized? Do you
:1; have great ideas and the desire
" to dedicate time and effort to
make them happen? Then you
should be on a committee!
Wycik offers several different
committees through the work
program for members to
participate and get involved while meeting new
people and learning new skills. Keep in mind that
committees are not the easiest task at Wycik. To be
successful, the members of a committee often end up
contributing anywhere from 5 to 20 hours per
month. The amazing thing is, everyone is having so
much fun, nobody complains. If you think you may
benefit one of our many committees, let us know,
we'd be happy to have you on board.

[ . The Staff of Neill-Wycik 1
Lynn Newhouse, General Manager
Lynn is responsible for the overall management of
the bUilding. She is in her fourth year as
General Manager of Wycik and has the
gray hair to show for it. She may very well
qualify as the most diminutive General
Manager in Toronto, at all of 5'0, but she
sure makes an impact! Lynn manages the
budget, plans for long term projects, liaises with
the Board and supervises the staff to ensure we meet our
short and long term goils.
Carl Brown, Maintenance Manager
Carl Brown had been a part-time member
of the Maintenance team for a few years
while attending school and last year he
assumed the pOSition of Maintenance
Manager. His knowledge of architecture
and this building and his unassuming but
witty ways a have been great additions to the management
team and his beautiful daughter Olivia certainly brightens
up the building whenever she's around.
Michelle Walker, Hotel Manager
Michelle is in her second year as Hotel
Manager and has already substantially
increased the bottom line to the hotel
revenues. She has the formidable task of
overseeing sales, Front Desk operations,
housekeeping, and the cafeteria. Michelle
has had a great deal of experience in
Neill-Wycik, not only has she worked in the hotel in various
supervisory roles, she has also lived here and been a
Member of the Board of Directors.
Christine Gallagher,
Manager, Systems & Support Services
Christine has been gracing the halls of
Neill-Wycik for over 5 years. She has done
everything from paying the bills to running
SAC. In her new role, she manages the
building'S computer and phone systems and
she's in charge of the MSRs who work at the
Front Desk from September to April. She's also
involved in a multitude of other projects around the building.
Chloe, her black and white cat is our office Mascot!
Matthew Wilson,
Residence Life Manager
The newest member of the management
team, Matt is in charge of all the Residence
Assistants and he oversees the Security
team with the help of Richard Wilson
(no relation, but they do look alike).
Matt must balance the role of encouraging
member participation, helping members with
their problems and enforCing the By-laws. His hair has a
tendency to stand on end, but we don't think this has
anything to do with the job.
Richard Wilson, Security Supervisor
Richard began as Security Supervisor this year
and has been instrumental in improving
our security processes. With the safety of
the building in his hands, our members
can certainly feel secure. A future
Mr. Universe in the making, Richard is the
man with the rippling biceps and slow steady
banter. (He also makes a great Santa!)
Turker Guney, Accountant
A veteran in the building, lUrker looks after
all of the Co-op's financial matters. You will
find him pouring over numbers and
statistics to ensure Wycik's financial
health. He advises the management team
in planning and has saved Wycik lots of
money with his recommendations for
investment and finanCing. lUrker is the 'character' in the
office, and boy, can he playa mean game of pool!
Colleen Durland,
Housing Co-ordinator
Colleen is the whiz who processes all of the
new applications, rents the Co-op's rooms,
maintains internal and external waiting
lists and handles all housing inquiries.
If you want the straight goods on any
aspect of hOUSing, re-applying, transferring,
etc, talk to Colleen. It's also nice to just drop by
Colleen's office to see her version of a tropical greenhouse!
Colleen is legendary for being able to remember the names
and faces of everyone living in the building.

Cathy Louisy, Bookkeeper
Cat (as she likes to be called) is the person to
whom you pay your rent. However, she will
be on maternity leave from August to
March taking care of her first little one.
The office pool odds are leaning toward a
boy. She's looking forward to coming back
next spring.
Martin Cordell, Bookkeeper
Martin will be taking over the bookkeep-
ing duties while Cat is away. Martin has
fulfilled several important roles within
the building from RA to Hotel Sales
Manager and he volunteers on SAC as the
Communications Co-ordinator. We're not sure
when he sleeps, but his energy levels are never affected as
he is always on the go doing something involving other
Members of this building.
Victoria Cain,
Housing Assistant/Office Support
Victoria helps to process September appli-
cations, room assignments, and assists
the Housing Co-ordinator. She is the first
smiling face you'll see when you drop by
the office. She'll help you with housing
inquiries, accept your rent payments, or
direct you to other staff if necessary. It's her lovely
voice you hear when you call the Wycik voice mail system.
Stacey Duggan, Accounts Payable Clerk
Stacey pays all the mountains of bills it takes
to make sure Neill-Wycik runs
properly. During the summer she pulls
double duty, paying the bills for the hotel
and doing the hotel banking. She'll help
you with expense reports for building
events and getting money for SAC advances.
Stacey is also a little shorter than Lynn we think.
Larry Wall, Maintenance Worker
The man to see if you have any key problems
or want any small cars or buildings moved.
Larry also has a secret life as a biker and
looks pretty tough (but he's really a gentle
guy ... it's a secret).
Vladimir Badanjak,
Paint/plaster/tiling specialist
If you ever wonder who is frantically painting
your unit, Vlado is the man. He is in charge
of all of the painting, plastering, tiling and
anything else that needs to be done. He can
paint a room in less time than it takes to
clean it - a real whirlwind!
Chris Alivantov, Maintenance Worker
Chris heads up the janitorial section of the
building and keeps the maintenance
requests up to date and oversees the
maintenance part of the member
contribution program. The father of two
young girls; he may look a little tired but he
always has time to assist you in the maintenance office.
Rick Bonner, Plumber
If your toilet is overflOWing, or another
plumbing concern arises, Rick is always
willing to come to your rescue. Rick has a
solid background in boilers and high rise
maintenance and he is always amazed at the
items he finds when he is called to unclog
toilets. To date the strangest thing he has found in a toilet
this past year was a butcher knife and a jar of pickles. He
takes it in stride with a shake of his head.
Let's not forget the part-time staff without whom the building could
not function! You will see these guys around the building fixing
almost anything that is in need of repair.
The current Co-op part-timers are:
Q" Sly (Sylvain) SI. Pierre
Q" Emma (the magnificent) Davis
Q" Trevor (the woodwork maniac) Lachapelle
Q" David (Toby, smile a mile wide) Sabourin
Q" Sean (the giant) Kloosterman and
Q" Daryl (quiet and thoughtfulj Speers.

E
ach Member signs an occupancy agreement. You should acquaint yourself with the
occupancy agreement and the Bylaws as these two items govern the way you must
conduct yourself. There is no such thing as "/ didn't know': It is your responsibility to
educate yourself about Neill-Wycik!
A copy of the occupancy agreement is available at the Front Desk or in the 22nd floor office
but here are the 'Hot Highlights' ... details and further information must be taken from the
actual occupancy agreement:
1. Members planning to move before their occupancy agreement expires must give two months
notice (from the first of the month) and sign a Notice to Vacate. There is a $50.00 administration
fee for breaking the occupancy agreement
2. Members must get permission of the Co-operative to paint or decorate unit.
3. Members must keep their unit clean and not allow garbage to accumulate. Members must clean
their unit BEFORE terminating their occupancy.
4. Members agree to pay for repair and maintenance of his/her unit and fixtures if repairs
are needed because of damage caused by the Member, the Member's guests or friends.
5. Members agree to report all damage to Co-op immediately.
6. The Co-op has the right to enter units in case of emergencies, as per Bylaws, for exterminators,
room checks, maintenance repairs, alterations, decorations or to show unit to new Members.
7. Members should purchase fire/extended insurance coverage to cover his/her own goods and
furnishings . Neill-Wycik's coverage only covers the. building and equipment of Neill-Wycik.
8. Members agree to promote principles of the Co-operative and to abide by its Charter,
Bylaws, Rules, Regulations, Policies and Decisions adopted by the Board and its Committees.
This includes the Member's family, visitors etc.
9. It is the Member's responsibility to determine the policies relevant to his conduct, ignorance is
not a sufficient excuse for a breach of conduct.
10. Members who are in default of the occupancy agreement or his/her duties under the Charter or
Bylaws may have Membership terminated by resolution passed by the Board of Directors. The
Member will receive 10 days notice of the meeting of the Board at which the resolution will be
considered. The Member may appear to make submissions on their behalf. Termination will
occur on the date specified by Board of Directors in its Resolution, but the date will not be less
than 10 days after the hearing. Further details are available on the occupancy agreement.
11. The Co-operative is not liable for damage to property entrusted to employees of the Co-op or
loss of any property by theft or otherwise. The Co-operative is not liable for injury or damage to
persons or property resulting from any substance which may leak from the building.
12. The Co-operative is governed by the Co-op Corporations Act, NOT the Landlord and Tenant Act.
13. The waiver form within the agreement absolves Neill-Wycik of any responsibility while Members
use any of the SAC facilities or common areas or attend any events.
WHAT EVERY GOOD MEMBER NEEDS TO KNOW ABOUT HOUSING AND RENT:
1. AM I A TERM PAYER?
If you have been assigned a multi-unit {jour or more people in the unit}, you MUST pay by the four month
term (ie. September to December; January to March and April would be your last month which is kept on account).
2. HOW DO I GO ABOUT GETTING MONTHLY PAYMENT STATUS?
Only Members who can prove they have at least 20 hours of regular employment per week, or Members
whose parents' pay the Co-op directly can usually be granted monthly status. You must complete a request
form in the office and get approval.
3. WHAT DO I NEED TO KNOW IF I WISH TO PAY MONTHLY?
If you are in an A, B, or K unit, OR have been given approval as a monthly payer by our Bookkeeper, then
you MUST submit POSTDATED cheques on the first rhy you sign your lease. Cheques are cashed promptly
on the first of every month.
4. WHAT IF THERE IS A DELAY IN GETTING MY OSAP?
You must immediately contact our Bookkeeper and bring a copy of your 'Student Information Document' in
order to get an extension. There is no extension for your first month or maintenance deposit, this must be
received before you can move into the building. If you do not get your OSAP the following month, you must
notify the Bookkeeper and pay on a monthly basis until your OSAP is received.
5. WHAT IF I CAN'T PAY BY THE FIRST OF EVERY MONTH?
REMEMBER that if you are having financial difficulty, it is your responsibility to notify the Bookkeeper know
before the first of every month, otherwise you will be in arrears. If a cheque has been cashed and it comes back
NSF (not sufficient funds), you will have to pay the $25.00 administration fee and your monthly status may
be revoked.
6. WHAT HAPPENS WHEN I AM IN ARREARS?
A number of things will happen, there are a number of successive penalties for each time you are late (outlined
below). You may have to appear before the Board of Directors for eviction, and your outstanding account may
go to Collections, which means that you will not be able to obtain loans, get a credit card or pass future credit
checks. It is very serious, so PLEASE make sure you fulfill your obligations to the Co-op on time.
ARREARS PENALnES FOR MEMBERS IN MULn-UNITS:
Q 1st late payment - $10.00 late fee.
Q 2nd late payment - $10.00 late fee and pay that month by certified cheque.
Q 3rd late payment - $10.00 late fee and make all future payments by certified cheque.
Q 4th late payment - $10.00 late fee and the balance of the term is due immediately by certified cheque
and the member will lose their monthly payment status (if applicable).
Q 5th late payment - the member will automatically be served with a Schedule F, notice to appear before
the Board of Directors for possible eviction.
ARREARS PENALnES FOR MEMBERS IN A, B OR K UNITS AND FOR ALL MEMBERS DURING THE SUMMER:
Q 1st late payment - $10.00 late fee.
Q 2nd late payment - $10.00 late fee and pay that month by certified cheque.
Q 3rd late payment - $10.00 late fee and make all future payments by certified cheque.
Q 4th late payment - $10.00 late fee and continue to make all future payments by certified cheque.

Because there are only two people in a B unit,
the person who is remaining in the other half is
allowed to interview people for their next

give you the phone number and details on how
to set this up with that person. Remember

[ Community Security 1
C
ommunity Security consists of 10 to 14
Community Security Representatives (eSRs)
and Member Service Representatives (MSRs).
eSRs and MSRs are extensively trained Wycik
members who have the best interests of the members
and the building at heart. They are passed through a
rigorous interview process, and are trained in first
aid, emergency situations, Neill-Wycik policies and
procedures.
*" You can find the MSRs at the front desk
7:00 AM to 7:00 PM.
*" You can find the eSRs at the front desk
from 7:00 PM to 7:00 AM.
A
lthough the MSRs and eSRs have completed
similar training programs and perform essentially
the same function, there are some variations to their
daily routines. There are fewer security incidences
occurring during the day so an MSRs' primary focus is
on customer service, reception and assisting members.
However, at night, we depend on the eSRs to focus
mainly on the safety of the members and the building
by performing regular rounds. i)
S
ecurity is accessible 24 hours a
day at 977-2322, or if you
have a Neill-Wycik Telephone, just
press the Security button. If you
have an emergency, a complaint, or a
question, call anytime and the eSR
or MSR on duty will be happy to
assist you.
T
he eSRs and MSRs monitor entrances through
Closed Circuit TV, monitor the elevators ,
respond to fire alarms, noise complaints, vandalism
reports, harassment complaints, and all other
security issues and concerns. You want to know the
safe areas in our neighbourhood, the eSR or MSR
can tell you where to go and where it's best to stay
away from.
C
ommunity Security means just that, a Security
team that is community-minded in its
approach and builds close ties with the members to
increase reporting and prevention of disturbances
and security issues. Our only interest is to make sure
that everyone in Wycik is safe and comfortable, and
we challenge you to be aware of your surroundings
and your community and call on the eSR or MSR
anytime you have an issue, question, or complaint.
Also, when a eSR or MSR approaches you with
any requests or questions, they are trying to ensure
that the rights of all members are being observed, so
please assist them in every way possible.
P
lease remember to read over the By-laws as the
eSRs and MSRs will be ensuring they are
followed. Here are a few reminders about security in
Neill-Wycik:
ENTERING THE BUILDING
Please enter the building through designated
entrances only. Always have your front door key on
you, as eSRs and MSRs may have to leave the desk
unattended, and lock the door while they're gone.
Also, for the safety of members, staff and guests, don't
let anyone in who isn't a member. The front desk staff
on duty will always ask you for your membership
card to make sure they know who you are.
NOISE I PARTYING
Remember all members have the right to the quiet
enjoyment of their environment. If a member
complains of excessive noise, Security will come up
to address the issue with you. Your co-operation is
much appreciated.
GUESTS
You are responsible for your guests, so make sure you
know who you are letting into your unit, especially if
you share a multi-unit. You have the right to make a
complaint if your unitmate is allowing a friend to
stay overnight in your unit without your permission
and NO guest may stay more than 10 aggregate
{total} nights in a multi-unit.

YOUR MOTHER HAD IT RIGHT ALL ALONG,
SO WE HAVE ADOPTED HER RULES:
A. Clean your room!
B.II you make a mess, clean it up!
(That's the jist of what you have to remember while you live here.)
I
f you live in a shared unit, you have to equally
share the responsibility of keeping your unit clean
and damage free. If you fail to do so, we will have
to charge you, which we really don't like to
do. There are two
annual inspections
performed every term
in the multi-units to
make sure you are
keeping your unit
clean. Your Residence
Assistant will let you
know on a regular basis if your unit is getting out of
hand, but hopefully you will find it in yourselves to
keep it clean.
WARNING - the average cost to clean
a unit is $325.00 by a contract cleaning
company and we have charged members
in the past.
T
his is shared equally amongst all members, unless
you report to your Residence Assistant that your
unitmates refuse to share the cleaning.
DON'T FORGET:
1& Only use putty supplied by maintenance to
put up posters, tape will remove paint.
1& Do not drill holes for additional shelving, and
do not paint your unit - put in a request to do
so and maintenance will assist you.
1& Remember there is NO STORAGE SPACE
in Neill-Wycik, so you cannot bring your
own furniture for multi-units.
We encourage a clean
building, so we supply Q'
everything you need. j
You can get garbage bags,
cleansers, lightbulbs, vacuums ) It!
and putty at the front desk. \,;:01 rtl
What could be easier?
A
s a member, you are responsible for filling
in your Move-in Inspection Form.
Once the form is filled out, get your RA to verify the
information. All forms must be filled out 15 days
after move-in. This form may be your only recourse
in any damage deposit dispute.
D
pon move-out, you will also be
required to fill in a Move-out
Inspection Form. Once the form
is filled out, get your RA to
verify the information. If there are any
discrepancies between the move-in and move-out
forms, you will be charged according to the damage.
KEYS
for your room are given to you upon
move-in. You will need to pay $10.00
for each key lost and $20.00 for a spare. Any key
not returned to us by at move-out, will cost $20.00
to the person it was issued to.
/
f something is wrong in your room, please
make your request at the front desk in the
lobby. We print out the requests daily and
prioritize the work to be done.

E
very summer, Neill-
Wycik opens its
doors to groups and
individuals from around the
world. Neill-Wycik employs
over 35 members and
students, provides career expe-
rience to hotel / hospitality /
business students and makes
a substantial financial contri-
bution to the Co-op. Half
the building usually empties
out in the summer when
many students return home
to summer jobs. This could result in an
enormous financial problem for Wycik as we
would have suffered from large vacancy losses,
but we have been able to create an alternate
source of revenue through the hotel.
T
he Hotel also allows us to clean out the
building and renovate without major
disruption to members. During May and
June, we are able to paint, patch and fix up
the units that may have experienced damage
through the school year.
T
he Hotel has grown and become more
well-known throughout the world. We
are published in the famous 'Let's Go' guides,
Lonely Planets Travel Books, Frommers,
Fodor's, the CAA handbooks, Tourism
Toronto Visitor's Association maps and
brochures, etc. This advertising has increased
the public's knowledge ofNeill-Wycik and has
often been the reason we have attracted
new members to Neill-Wycik during the
school year.
W
e even have our own Web Site. It has
attracted over 3000 visitors on-line,
from every part of the world. Be sure to visit

GREAT PLACES TO SHOP AND HANG OUT
Kensington Market (The Annex):
Lots of different shops with food /Tom around the world. Great
prices. Neighbourhood is earthy, and the Market has a very
urban quality. What the neighbourhood does for food, it also
does for clothing. Eclectic and trendy shops. It is the place to
find that nifTy silver ring or pair ofBirkenstocks"".
Location: Kensington and Baldwin (west of Spadina, south of
College and north ofDund4s).
St. Lawrence Market:
Dozens of vendors located under one huge roof. The freshest
food in the city. Great variety of cheese and bread products.
Closed Sunday and Monday.
Location: Jarvis and Front Street .
Queen Street West:
Queen Street West is where to go to be seen. The dominant
fashion colour has been, and always will be black. It's the place
to find your pair of Doc Martins, or funky clubwear (for all the
nearby clubs). City TV is located here, and on a good Saturday
the streets are lined with wannabe stars.
Location: Queen Street, between University and Bathurst.
The Fashion District I Chinatown:
This is the part of town where all the clothing manufacturers
make their threads. A great bargain can be had on just about
anything if you are a master in the art of haggling.
Location: Spadina Avenue from College south to Front Street.
The Theatre District:
This is the part of town where many of the city's great bars and
restaurants can be found. Alice Fazolli's, Planet Hollywood,
Vinnie's, and Limelight just to name a few, are located here.
Location: Bounded by University Avenue to Duncan Street,
Queen Street to Front Street.
Church and Wellesley:
Home to Toronto's Gay community. The streets surroundi ng
Church and Wellesley create one of Toronto's most lively and
diverse neighbourhoods, full of great shops and bistros.
Goodwill:
Who's kidding who? This is the place to find ANYTHING at
rock bottom prices (they sell clothes by the pound). Terrific used
furniture and a great selection of vintage clothing. Location:
Jarvis at Adelaide Street, across /Tom George Brown College.
