NEW DEVELOPMENTSCrombie REIT www.crombie.ca/office Fall 2015
Earlier this year we had the pleasure
of announcing that we had received
the 2015 Pinnacle Award for Customer
Service, and the Award of Excellence
for both Scotia Square and the CIBC
Building, from BOMA Nova Scotia. We
took these entries to the national level,
and we’re thrilled to share that the CIBC
Building was named The Outstanding
Building of the Year at BOMEX in
Quebec City on September 17.
The Outstanding Building of the Year
(TOBY) Awards are the most prestigious
and comprehensive programs of their
kind in the commercial real estate
industry, recognizing quality in buildings
and rewarding excellence in building
management. During the competitions,
all facets of a building’s operations are
thoroughly evaluated. Buildings are
judged on everything from community
involvement and site management to
environmental and “green” policies and
procedures.
To say that we are proud to accept
this award is an understatement. We
consider it a great honour to receive
this recognition at the national level,
and we’re very grateful for the support
we’ve received from our Clients during
this process.

Did you know that Crombie REIT
supports clean, renewable electricity
with Bullfrog Power? Through our
agreement, Bullfrog puts green
electricity onto the grid to match the
amount of electricity used in our EV
charging stations and parking garage!
With our support, Bullfrog also
provides critical financial support
to advance community-based
renewable energy projects across
Supporting Communities with Bullfrog PowerPower to the People!
Canada, like the solar project
announced earlier this year with the
Montana First Nation in Alberta. The
bullfrogpowered community is helping
Montana First Nation to reduce the
financial and environmental costs
of dependence on fossil fuel-based
electricity generation. Bullfrog’s
contribution to the project includes
support for the solar training program
and a grant towards the construction
of a 20 kW solar installation in the
community.

As life has gotten busier I’ve found
that my apps have become more and
more important to me. They keep
me on task, save time, keep me in
the know, and make my life more
enjoyable. Hope they help you out
too!
Toodledo: My most
used app. It lets me put
in tasks, organize them
by folder, due date
and priority level. I can
even put notes or attach documents
to them in the list. Once my tasks are
recorded, the app will automatically
prioritize them based on the date due
and the priority level. I can search
them as well for key words and the
different folders I have set up. The app
will sync across all devices in real time
and can input the items on their due
date into your calendar. Reprioritizing
as the days go by is fast and easy.
When I’m completed a task I get to
check it off my list for the satisfation.
At Bespoke Clinic, Tori and I each
have an account that we use to share
and assign tasks to one another for
non patient items. There is one built
into our electronic medical records
software that we use for patient items.
Takeaway: get the to do list out of
your head and into the app so you can
focus on work, life and self care.
Evernote: This app is a
note taking workhorse.
My favorite part of
it is the web clipper
that allows you to clip
articles and instantly
save them in your evernote database
with the folders you have set up. It
syncs across all apps and you can
share folders. The notes are flexible
as you can drop in photos, write text
and audio record. I use this app a lot
when I am at conferences. I record
the audio, type my notes at the top
and add the electronic notes from
the presenter all into the same note.
Notes are searchable by text and text
recognition of even words in photos!
Google Drive: I love
evernote for everything
except document
backup and prep. I
use Google Drive’s
feature of having a physical drive on
my computer as my back up. I work
on documents in the office suite of
programs and then save to the Google
Drive on my computer which syncs
with my online google drive account.
Once it’s in there, I can share folders
with other colaborators. It’s easy to
grab documents that are attached
to email from my gmail and file them
away in google drive or vice versa.
Buddhify: Mindfulness is on a lot
of people’s radars these days. The
research continues to pile up on
the effectiveness of
mindfuless for reducing
stress levels, the root of
many illnesses. Check
out our social media
feeds for the latest updates. Learning
how to slow down, put the phone
away and focus on only one thing
is a skill we’ve lost in this modern
life. I needed some extra support to
keep me on track in my mindfulness
practice as life became busier and
found Buddhify. It’s basically Songza
for meditation and I find it an essential
tool in my mindfulness practice. If I
only have five minutes, I pop in my
head phones and let the audio track
bring me back into my body while
stress melts away.
Yoga Studio: Don’t
have time for the
gym? Can’t make it to
that yoga class? Need
a quick 15 minute
practice before bed
or on waking? Yoga Studio is an
app I use regularily to get my yoga
practice in even when I am on the go.

The audio is so soothing and can be
customzed to your liking. There is a
calendar function that you can use to
schedule classes and sync it with your
actualy calendar. With Beginniner to
Advanced classes of different lengths
and styles you can find anything you
need here. I do adivse that anyone
who hasn’t done yoga before attend a
few weeks of classes and do a check
in once a month later on to make sure
your postures are correct to prevent
any injury.
Happify: This is a new
app to me. It’s easy in
our lives to get caught
up focusing on the
bad/unpleasant items.
This app takes us from that state into
joy land with simple games, gratitude
exercises and more. I use it when I am
feeling overwhelmed with difficulties
(having a bad day).
Inner Balance by
Heart Math: This app
is also new to me and
requires an adaptor
for your phone. It
measures heart rate variability which
relates to your stress levels. Using the
app, you can learn how to improve
your scores and thus your stress
levels. For anyone who needs realtime
objective measurements of how they
are doing coping with life this would
be a fanastic tool. I use it as a double
check. I think about something that
I feel I may not be being honest
with myself about. Soon after, I
have real time feedback on how my
body responds to the emotions that
correspond to that issue.
Taking the time to check out some
of these apps and get familiar with
them could pay big dividends in time
management and how much you
enjoy your life. I haven’t received any
compensation from any of these app
companies to write this article. This
is purely sharing my experiences and
how they’ve helped me lead a more
relaxed life.

located on the ground floor of
the CIBC building. Dr. Amanda is

Charles Dickens’ classic coming-of-
age novel comes to life on stage!
When an orphan named Pip comes
into an unexpected fortune, he is
plucked from poverty and thrust into
the upper class. As Pip tries to find
love and navigate living in his radically
changed circumstances, he untangles
a fascinating web of secret identities
and hidden pasts. One of the best
loved Dickens’ tales of all time, Great
Expectations is a riveting story of
class, ambition, and love.
Don’t miss Neptune’s season opener Charles Dickens’ Great Expectations!
Mezza Welcomes Angela to the Team!

MacLennan. Brenda has been with
our company for over 8 years and
continually performs her job with
such enthusiasm; we have recently

in this new role as we continue to

our future at Scotia Square.
This summer has been quite busy
for Mezza. We participated in the

on August 15th from our Barrington

opened sister company, Johnny K’s
Authentic Donairs, raised $500.00 for
Feed Nova Scotia.
