Our Residents
The health, safety and wellness of our residents, our employees, and the communities we serve, is of the utmost importance to Killam Apartment REIT. As such, we continue to monitor the COVID-19 situation and take guidance from the health authorities on best practices.
As of January 2023 there are no current restrictions in place, if there are any further updates we will communicate with residents via Posters in the lobbies of each our or buildings, as well as through our website. Also, we have provided information related to proper hygiene practices and encouraged all residents to follow the protocols set-out by government and health authorities.
