Message from Property Manager, Areti Aloumanis
It is hard to believe how much time has passed and how much has changed since mid-March 2020. The changes and challenges that we have all experienced in our daily lives will stay with us forever. We are excited to welcome back all our retailers to Bayview Village. Over the past 10+ weeks, I’ve had the pleasure in speaking with many of you and answering all your questions. Our Team stands with all of you as we are “In This Together”. The Operations Team has been working diligently to ensure that we have a safe and welcoming return for all our Tenants, the staff, and our community. You will notice various changes throughout the centre, and we are all here to answer any questions that you may have. We continue to follow the guidance of our local Public Health Authorities, Health Canada and the World Health Organization as we reopen and will continue to share the information with you. We hope this Playbook will be a tool to help you successfully reopen your doors and we are looking forward to seeing all our Tenants back.

Overview
Bayview Village Shopping Centre has remained opened throughout the Covid-19 crisis in order to provide access for essential retailers on a reduced operational schedule through various entrances. Non-essential retailers remained closed as directed by the Government of Ontario since March 24th, 2020.
Mid-May, the Government of Ontario issued a relaunch strategy to reopen businesses in stages commencing in May based on careful monitoring, strict guidelines and control measures (refer to the Government of Ontario website: www.ontario.ca. Stage 1 allowed some businesses and facilities to resume operations on May 19th, 2020 including retail businesses (clothing, furniture and bookstores) with storefront or dedicated street access. Stage 2 allowed additional businesses and facilities to resume operations on June 24, 2020 including retail shopping malls, restaurants and hair salons. As a result, Bayview Village Shopping Centre facilitated the opening of all our retailers on June 24, 2020 in line with Ontario’s relaunch strategy. To be successful, we must work together and exercise the utmost care and attention to continued social distancing parameters, enhanced sanitation, use of personal protective equipment (PPE), diligent hand-washing efforts, and staying home if you (or your staff) are not feeling well.

Our goal at Bayview Village Shopping Centre is to provide safety and comfort for weekly increases in traffic as we see mall employees, contractors and guests returning to the centre after a 10+ week hiatus. The following operational enhancements are currently under review and or in progress:
