Mattamy U

I was at Mattamy U this evening. I sign in and was given a little sticker with my lot # and my name. I was supposed to stick it on the community map so that people can see who was in attendance. The funny thing is that the map they had wasn't of the entire HMB community. It cut off at Grand Canal St so none of the townhomes were on there. I chuckled to myself and just went and sat down.

The presentation itself wasn't the most exciting but it was nice to meet the builders and chat with them afterwards. Really nice guys. They all came from the Mattamy in Toronto. I wonder if there was any truth to those rumours that Mattamy cleaned house in Ottawa because of all the delays and trouble they were encountering and then brought in people from Toronto? I met my new customer care rep, Steve Cochrane. He's been good at answering my emails.

I also met my direct next door neighbour in 505-5 and a couple of other folks in 507 and 501. Apparently the people in 507 were given a delay notice of a month when they were supposed to close in June. The people in 501 said they are closing mid-July.

Overall, this is a neat idea from Mattamy to have this kind of session. I don't think any of the other builders do this.
