Taking feedback to heart

We’re listening to your responses and excited to continue creating innovative solutions. Here were some common suggestions and questions:

Going local

Local bands are our jam. Community Life reaches out to groups you’ve told us you like first, and then dig into the local groups suggested. Sometimes your favorite group doesn’t have the equipment set up needed to perform at Island Camp.

Helping neighbors feel welcome

Community Life host several New Neighbor Whale-come events throughout the year. We share resources like where to find rules and who’s who at Delta Coves.
Several neighbors suggested localizing the Warm Whale-come Crew by cove. Please email us if you’re interested in welcoming new neighbors.

Island Camp tunes

With several hundred residents living in Delta Coves, balancing musical tastes requires some give and take. If the style of music or volume at the Picnic Pavilion is not up to snuff, stop by the Community Life office or email us to request a change. We’ll review it against our licensing limitations and board directives.

Community concern metrics

Your board of directors invites all residents to every-other-month board meetings. During these meetings, Community Life reviews the management report — including design review and compliance violation metrics.

Tasty treats and trucks

Thank you for your patience while we navigate a new way to cater for large-scale events. Food trucks allow us to feed more people in a shorter amount of time while taking different food preferences into account. Each event gives us more info and helps us learn for the next time.
