To All Parishes of the Diocese
The bigeest threats to our buildings right now are risks of Bursting Pipes, Vandalism and Fire.
Burst Pipes: As you can see from the Vacant Building Checklist (linked below), if water is left on, then 72 hour inspeictions are ncessary. Recommended (when at all possible) is that the toilets/sinks/pressure tanks/water pipes be drained and the water shut off.
Vandalism: The RCMP Detachement nearest to the building should be asked to include the property in their inspection route.
Fire: Furnance inspectrions must be up-to-date/or updated. Oil levels must be monitored. In the event of a snow storm, access to the building must be maintained by the contractor/volunteer who normally keeps the entrances to the buildings and parking lots plowed.
I am happy to discuss any of your questions
