Welcome to Neill-Wycik! \ Newcomer to Neill-Wycik? First time away from home?

7 ~ ?

~',llLI \

Returned Wycik veteran? Mature student returning to school? We are very happy you have chosen Neill­Wycik as your home. We hope you will make this place yours by getting to know the other members in \/~,! \ ~.. . ... . \ I{~ thiS bUilding, by participating In our volunteer program

/' ~ and by actively voicing your opinions in Members' ~ ~ meetings and forums.

ZL -Wi THIS IS A STUDENT CO-OPERATIVE much different than a student residence or an apartment building. We encourage you

to make your mark while you live in this community. Living co-operatively means caring about the people around you. Instead of lecturing you about the obligations of membership, we prefer to encourage you to think co-operatively. Treat others the way you wish to be treated and try to resolve situations with your fellow members by working with them for solutions. AND above all volunteer!

WHY DO WE MAKE YOU VOLUNTEER IN THIS BUILDING? Because we believe we are the springboard for your next life outside of Wycik. With regular cutbacks in social programming we all have a vested interest in helping to create that social safety net. Volunteering is a noble and right thing to do. When you leave Wycik, we hope you will leave it a better place and continue to contribute to the larger global community.

PLEASE READ YOUR OWNER'S MANUAL. Understand what your community offers you and what you can offer in return ... then take a big breath, dive in head first and get involved - life will never be the same!

WELCOME!

In 1966, a small group of motivated Ryerson students headed up by Kathy Whalen persistently lobbied to create affordable student accom­modation. They particularly 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.

In September 1967, it was decided that Ryerson was to have a high-rise co-op. In December of that year, the Canadian Union of Students sent Stan Adelman, as a 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

02

offered its property at 325 CllUrch Street, a building slated for demolition, to be used as a residence. After selecting a site, the Co-op then needed a mortgage.

On 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.

So who is Mr. Neill-Wycik? Well, the building was actually named after three individuals: Wycik was the last name of Aurilee and Raymond Wycik, two warm hearted individuals who ran a small cafeteria in Ryerson's Kerr Hall . Wycik College sound­ed a lot like Wycliffe College, a divinity school at the University of Toronto so Kathy then suggested adding on A.S.Neill's name. Neill was the Principal of Summerhill, one of the most successful English free schools. The group admired his work and the principle behind a 'free school'.

In December 1986, work began on the Marten's Wing (aka the McGill Wing). After several delays, the Marten's Wing was opened in January 1988.

In 1995, with much fanfare, Neill-Wycik celebrated its 25th Anniversary and September 2000 will mark our 30th Aniversary!

F.Y.I Since 1995 $4,000,000 in renovations have gone into this building! This includes: washroom and kitchen upgrades, common furniture and carpeting to all multi-units, appliance upgrades to Gerrard Wing multi units and A, B units; washroom upgrades to A and B units; new washing machines, upgrades to the Hanke Lounge, Billiards Room, Meeting Room, 23rd Floor Roofdeck, Lobby renovations, boiler retrofit, corridor painting and carpeting. Now the east wall has new windows and cladding.

For more information about the humble beginnings of our building, drop by the main office and ask to see a copy of 'THE BIGGEST HOUSE ON THE BLOCK' by George H. Jamieson.

[$&uwOfll{IJ~(J]IJJ,

We welcome you to this community called Neill-Wycik Because we are such a diverse and large mini-community, we need certain PRINCIPLES and GUIDELINES to keep our world sane and happy. Please read them and strive to be a good member of the community.

Oq

11 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 male to female ratio. Apart from these guidelines, anyone can become a Member regardless of social, political, ethnic or religious affiliation.

2] DEMOCRATIC CONTROL Members elect the Board of Directors at Neill-Wycik. Any rent increase or major policy change must be passed at a general meeting open to all Members. If you have a criticism, or suggestion, you can express it at a board meeting, to the staff, or at a general meeting

3] APOLITICAL 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 related to housing. We do, however, respect any Member's activities in these areas.

4] 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 develop personal skills while contributing to their community.

5] 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.

6] 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. II

Governance at Neill-Wycik If you thought that Wycik was just another resi­dence, you're wrong. WYCIK IS A CO-OP which means everyone who lives here has a stake and voice in all decision made affecting Neill-Wycik. This could be the colour of the lobby, how much to spend on renovations and what is acceptable behaviour. We discuss and pass by-laws that govern how we live within the building as a membership.

Board meetings Most of this is done through your Board of Directors. The Board of Directors are 12 members who volunteer their time to ensure the building is operating to the standard demanded by the membership. The board meets every 2ND AND 4TH TUESDAY OF EACH MONTH in the

The Board of Directors

Meeting Room (2nd Floor McGill Wing) at 7:00pm. All members are welcome to attend a meeting.

LET THE VOICE OF THE PEOPLE BE HEARD! The Board is elected by you at the Annual General Meeting (AGM) held every spring. If you have CONCERNS, QUESTIONS, or SUGGESTIONS we are always glad to hear them. Each Board Member has a mailbox at the front desk. If you wish to communicate with anyone on the Board, this would be the first step. After receiving your note, the Board Member will con­tact you if necessary, to discuss the matter further. If you would like to meet with the Board as a whole, leave a message for the Corporate Secretary who will contact you for the next meeting.

NW By-laws, What do they mean to you ,the member?

~ FOR MINOR BY-LAW BREACHES [ ego noise complaints, incomplete work hours 1

Neill-Wycik is a mini-city of 780 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 ensure peace reigns throughout the building.

1] Meet with CA or Community Security Representative to resolve situation.

2] Meet or receive letter from CDC.

As a good member of Neill-Wycik, it is important for you to FAMILIARIZE YOURSELF with the policies and by-laws. Remember that the by-laws were pro­posed, argued, voted and passed by you, the 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.

3] 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.

~ FOR MAJOR BY-LAW BREACHES [ ego pulling a fire alarm, drug use, theft, harassment 1

There are CONSEQUENCES if you fail to abide by the by-laws, but we sincerely hope you will never have to get familiar with them .

2] Appear before the Board where possible consequences are: community service hours, fines, non-renewal in the co-operative and/ or eviction, trespass notices.

What every good member needs to know about housing & rent

II

Q] AM I A TERM PAYER?

A] If you have been assigned a multi-unit (four 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).

Q] HOW DO I GO ABOUT GEmNG MONTHLY PAYMENT STAniS?

A] 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.

Q] WHAT DO I NEED TO KNOW IF I WISH TO PAY MONTHLY?

A] 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 day you sign your lease. Cheques are cashed promptly on the 1 st of every month.

Q] WHAT IF THERE IS A DELAY IN GEmNG MY OSAP? A] 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 aSAP the follow­ing month, you must notify the Bookkeeper and pay on a monthly basis until your aSAP is received.

Q] WHAT IF I CAN'T PAY BY THE ARST OF EVERY MONTH?

A] REMEMBER that if you are having financial difficulty, it is your responsibility to ask the Bookkeeper for an extension (NOTE: Extensions are only granted occasionally) before the 1 st 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.

Q] WHAT HAPPENS WHEN I AM IN ARREARS?

A] 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.

Two-Person Units and Apartments

HOW DO I APPLY FOR A '8' UNIT? These units do become available occasionally. If one comes up, the Housing Coordinator will post them on the Laundry Room door on the 22nd floor and down in the lobby by the elevators. 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 potential roommate. The Housing Coordinator will give you the phone number and details on how to set this up with that person. REMEMBER, only mem­bers in good standing are allowed to move to another unit in the building.

HOW DO I APPLY FOR AN APARTMENT 'A' UNIT OR BACHELOR 'K' UNIT? Put your name on the waiting list. These do not come up that often and are allocated based on first come, first served, AND couples in the building get priority. The wait list is in the office upstairs. AGAIN, only members in good standing are allowed to apply for these units.

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 the average member to clean it - a real whirlwind!

Chris Alivantov [ Maintenance Supervisor] Chris oversees the janitorial requirements of

the building and oversees the work hours for members who wish to participate in the volunteer program through

maintenance tasks. He also assigns penalty hours to those who may breach a by­

law and can always find a job which fits the breach! Chris has also got a way with our international students and can speak several languages including: French, Spanish, Bulgarian, Macedonian, AND Italian!

plumbing concern arises, Rick is always willing to come to your rescue. Rick has a solid background in boilers and high

rise maintenance and has proven to be a valuable addition this past year to our

maintenance team. An unassuming fellow, he is the king of the "snake" and has amusing stories about items blocking our plumbing systems.

~@IiWffIJQ)~(gj,

A BIT OF BACKGROUND The aim of a student-housing co-operative is to provide housing that is affordable and responsive to the particular needs of students. A co-op is afford­able because members give their time in different ways and responsive because each member has a voice in decision-making.

YOUR PART

WHAT CAN I DO TO CONTRIBUTE? As a member you can partiCipate by serving on the Board of Directors, helping the Social Activity Committee operate the facilities, assisting the Maintenance department, attending General Members' Meetings to name a few. Now, this may not sound particularly exciting but lets look at the options:

Option 1:

OR

Option 2:

You could stay in your room, do all your studying and then read a good book

You could GET OUT and meet some TERRIFIC people (after you study of course!).

No one is expecting you to spend all your free time helping out, just two hours a month (0.3% of your time!). Some of the benefits of getting involved are: connecting with other members, having fun, and contributing something significant.

THE LIST OF IDEAS INCLUDE: • Joining a club or committee or start one

yourself (talk to your CA first). Some committees from previous years; Movie, Newsletter, Reading Buddies, Social Awareness, Environment and Fundraising (for local charities).

• Outreach work; if you are aware of an organization that needs volunteers, talk to your CAl We have provided baked goods to a local women's shelter and sandwiches for the Salvation Army.

• Run for the Board of Directors! We have elections at the Annual General Members' Meeting. You can nominate yourself or have someone do it for you. It is the quickest way to immerse your­self in Wycik culture.

• Organize an event for your floor or the whole building! SAC can be approached to finance good ideas.

• PartiCipate in fundraising and blood dri­ves.

• Attend Board forums, work on a policy taskforce or respond to surveys to help with co-op governance.

• Ask about maintenance tasks and cleaning at the front desk.

• Help out with managing SAC facilities.

HOW DO I GET INVOLVED? Your CA will contact you monthly to find out what your interests are.

WHO KEEPS TRACK OF WHAT I DO? Your CA will enter the hours you have completed in the Neill Wycik database.

NW COMMUNITY SECURITY Neill-Wycik's Community Security con­

sists of approximately ten Community Security Representatives (CSRs) and Member Service Representatives

(MSRs). The CSRs and MSRs are extensively trained Wycik members who

provide front desk and security services including administering first aide and handling emergency situations. Because the MSRs are at the front desk from 7:00am to 7:00pm their focus is more on front desk services and handling business calls with the CSRs focusing more on building safety during evening shifts when incidents tend to hap­pen.

The team is COMMUNITY MINDED in its approach and they try to build close ties with the members to monitor the building for potential safety or security problems. When the CSRlMSR 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.

ACCESSIBILITY Security is accessible 24 HOURS A DAY at 977 -2322, or if you have a Neill-Wycik phone, just press the "Security" button. If you have an emer­gency, a complaint, or a question, call anytime and the person on-duty will be happy to assist you.

NOTE: FOR LIFE-THREATENING SITUATIONS, PLEASE CALL 9-911 FIRST.

11.P.S If you have noticed an incident and don't wish to be identified, call TIPS extension 8477 to report any­thing unusual. We will follow up.

SURVEILLANCE Our staff monitor all entrances, parking lot and roofdeck areas through Closed Circuit lV. They also monitor the elevators, respond to fire alarms, noise, harassment, vandalism and other security issues. NOTE: Please read this manual for a brief review of the by-laws as they will be enforcing them.

REMEMBER ... We are VERY lucky to have so many great members who never cause any prob'lems, 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 Community Assistant and if you didn't get to an orientation session on the by-laws, get a copy of them from your Community Assistant.

A FEW REMAINDERS ABOUT SECURITY IN THE BUILDING:

ENTERING THE BUILDING

During the school year, the ENTRANCE ~ DOORS ARE LOCKED, please use your

"'-! ~ key and don't let anyone in who isn't a member. The front desk staff on duty

will always ask you for your ID to make sure they know who you are. All Guests must sign in at the front desk.

LOCKOUTS

If you LOCK YOURSELF OUT of your unit there is a charge of $5.00 that must be paid immediately. If you LOSE YOUR KEY and are in a multi-unit you will be asked to pay for the charge to replace all locks in the multi-unit. This could cost up to $100.00.

HERE ARE SOME OF YOUR CSRS:

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 nights in a multi-unit.

NOISE/PARTYING

Members have THE RIGHT TO 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.

WHAT CAN YOU GET AT THE FRONT DESK?

~@uwOlIIg}~tJ1J,

WE HAVE ADOPTED YOUR PARENT'S RULES:

• CLEAN YOUR ROOM • IF YOU MAKE A MESS, CLEAN IT UP!

• , That's the jist of what you have to remember while you live here.

- ~ If 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 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.

WARNING! The average cost to clean a unit is $325.00 by a contract cleaning company and we have charged members in the past. This is shared EQUALLY amongst all members, unless you report in writing to your Community Assistant that your unitmates refuse to share the cleaning.

NEED SUPPLIES? WE ENCOURAGE a clean building so we supply everything you need! You can get garbage bags, cleansers, lightbulbs, rubber gloves, vacuums and putty at the front desk. What could be easier?

MOVE-IN INSPECTION FORM As a member, you are responsible for filling in your MOVE-IN INSPECTION FORM. Please complete it within 15 days after move-in. This form may be your only recourse in any damage deposit dispute. Hand it into the front desk.

2q

Upon move-out, you will also be required to fill in a MOVE-OUT INSPECTION FORM. Once the form is filled out, please hand it into the front desk . Maintenance will arrange to inspect your unit. If there are any discrepancies between the move-in and move-out forms, you will be charged according to the damage.

KEYS You will have to pay $10.00 for a SPARE KEY. ANY KEY NOT RETURNED to us at move-out will cost $10.00 except for parking keys which are $25.00. LOST KEYS to a multi-unit may cost more as we will have to charge for changing all the locks in the unit.

Please note that. ..

• ONLY USE putty supplied by maintenance to put.op wsters, ~~, wilfremove ~ilDt

• DO NOT DRIU HOLES for additional Shelving, and do not paint your unit -pUt In a request to do so and maintenance will assist you. "

',.",,' , ", : ' ,: "" " ;~ • AND remember there IS NO STORAGE SPACE

In Neill-Wycik, so you cannot bring your own furniture for multi-units.

ONE OF THE UNIOUE THINGS ABOUT WYCIK IS THAT WE CONVERT APPROXIMATELY

HALF OUR UNITS INTO A HOTEL EVERY SUMMER! Yep - a regular hotel with visitors from all OVER THE WORLD. Many students leave Wycik in the summer when school is over which leaves us a partially empty building. What could have resulted in an enor­mous financial problem for Wycik (we still have to pay our mortgage, our utilities, property taxes and

other operating costs) we instead oper­ate a profitable summer hotel.

EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES The hotel has also benefited members by providing SUMMER EMPLOYMENT to over 35 people in housekeeping, front desk and the cafeteria. During May and June, when we have hotel vacancies, we are able to paint, patch and fix up the units that may have experienced damage through the school year thus limiting disruption to members.

THE WORD IS GETTING OUT! The 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, Frommer's, Fodor's, the CM handbooks, Tourism Toronto maps and brochures, etc. This advertising has increased the public's knowledge of Neill-Wycik and has often been the reason we have attracted new members to Neill-Wycik during the school year.

HOTEL STATISTICS:

- Over 25,000 visitors a year.

-Almost 100% OCCUPANCY in tate July and August.

- The hotel has increased its contribution to Wycik every year for the past 6 YEARS.

- Our hotel web-site ATIRACTS over thousands of on-line visitors from all over the world.

. 'i!, We have been ' given the distinction of being the 'BEST HOTEL VALUE IN TORONTO' from the famous Fodor's Guide.

NEILL-WYCIK TELEPHONE SYSTEM (NWTEL)

Neill-Wycik installed a building wide phone system three years ago to provide a LOWER COST alternative to

our members. Any surpluses generated are put back into the

co-op for future upgrades. The addi­tion of NWTEL as a mandatory service cost to be incorporated with multi-units housing charges, was recently approved by the membership. This move and ultimately the mandatory building-wide cover­age of NWTEL will eventually allow us to offer new services such as call display and internet access. Rather than make Ma Bell wealthy, why not con­tribute that money towards the co-op!

THE BENEFITS For the same above service that we provide, Bell Canada charges over $35.00. In addition, NWTEL NWTEL has the added benefit that if you move within the building there is no added cost, we transfer your phone for free. Bell charges a moving fee of $55.00. Your phone can also be hooked up within hours rather than days. We also offer a very competitive long distance plan with our chosen carrier.

More information will be forthcoming in the move­in packages or when you move into the building. Not only do you get great rates, but the commission goes back to our building!

SIGNING UP AND SERVICE To SIGN-UP you can fill out the pre-registration form you received in our move-in package or visit the staff at the Front Desk.

NEILL-WYCIK HAS A BURSARY PROGRAM!

THE NEILL-WYCIK BURSARY is an award based on financial need, without undue emphasis on a student's academic standing. There will be two bursaries of $500.00 each per school year available to members in financial need. One of the bursaries will be given in the fall , and the remaining one will be given out in the winter.

SOURCE OF BURSARY FUNDS Money for the Bursary Program has been gener­ously donated from the Board of Director's budget.

DISBURSEMENT The applications for the fall bursary will be available starting the first week of September and accepted until September 30. It will be awarded by mid-November. Applications for the winter bursary will be available sometime in December and will be accepted until January 15. It will be awarded sometime in late February or early March.

ELIGIBILITY TO 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 GPA 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 contri -

butions to the Neill-Wycik community over and above minimal Member Contribution Program requirements will also be an important factor.
