When you are getting ready to leave for vacation, you probably have a mental checklist.

Lock the doors. Check the windows. Adjust the thermostat. Take out the garbage.

Here is one more thing worth adding: check what you have left charging.

The Calgary Fire Department recently responded to three lithium-ion battery fires within just 24 hours. Two involved electric scooters that caught fire while charging.

Calgary firefighters have now responded to 21 lithium-ion battery fires in 2026, already more than the 19 reported during all of 2025.

Lithium-ion batteries are not limited to scooters. They power many of the things we use every day, including phones, laptops, cordless tools, vacuums and e-bikes. The percentage of people who have lithium ion batteries in their home could be arguably quite high, so it's an important thing to remember, especially if you're leaving town for a few days.

As a general best practice, the Calgary Fire Department recommends unplugging batteries once they are fully charged, not leaving batteries unattended while charging, using compatible charging equipment and watching for signs of swelling, damage or overheating.

Our team encourages you to take a few extra minutes to walk through your home and unplug rechargeable devices that do not need to remain connected while you are gone.

For more battery safety information, the Calgary Fire Department has shared additional tips in this video: https://youtu.be/5laB9mtRvZw

Sometimes, protecting it starts with the things you do before you leave. And, our clients know just how many warnings we provide before they leave on their trips. It's always better to be cautious, and prepared.

Have you been planning a trip for some time in the new future?

The Government of Canada has expanded its **online passport renewal service**, making it easier for adult Canadians to renew their passports without visiting a Service Canada Centre or mailing in paperwork.

There are a few important things to keep in mind:
• You must meet the Government of Canada's eligibility requirements to renew online.
• Your passport photo must be submitted digitally and taken by a commercial photographer.
• Once you submit your online renewal application, your current passport is cancelled and can no longer be used for travel.
• Online renewals follow the standard 20-business-day processing time, plus mailing time, so it's important to plan ahead.
• Renewed passports cannot currently be mailed outside of Canada.

From renewing passports to preparing your home before you leave, a little planning now can make for a much smoother departure. Especially if your passport is expiring soon. Many countries can, and do, deny access if your passport expiry is within three months, regardless of how long your trip is intended to be.

If you're thinking about planning a trip, your passport is definitely something that should be considered.

For eligibility requirements and to renew online, visit the Government of Canada's passport renewal page. Here: https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/canadian-passports/renew-adult-passport.html

Whether you're relaxing in the backyard, exploring the mountains, visiting the lake, or simply enjoying a slower pace today, we hope it's a wonderful day.

We're checking on homes and running errnads for our clients today because it's important for us that you get your days off when they come!

- Five minutes today could save you thousands tomorrow. -

Homeownership comes with a long list of responsibilities, and while major repairs often make the headlines, it's usually the small problems that become expensive when they go unnoticed.

Taking just a few minutes to walk through your home can help identify issues before they turn into costly repairs.

Here are a few simple things worth checking today:
• Look under sinks for signs of leaks or moisture.
• Check your hot water tank for any signs of corrosion or water around the base.
• Replace or inspect your furnace or HVAC filter if it's due.
• Test your smoke and carbon monoxide detectors.
• Walk around the outside of your home and look for cracked caulking, damaged siding, or anything that doesn't look quite right.
• Make sure your outdoor taps and irrigation systems aren't leaking.
• Listen for any unusual sounds coming from your furnace, air conditioner, or other mechanical equipment.

Small maintenance tasks like these can often prevent much larger problems down the road. Those larger problems are never cheap!

And if you are ever in need of a hand with those househod repairs, or more, we offer handyman services through Acuity Advantage, to help with anything you might need.

A quick departure from our usual Facebook content, this week.

With Amazon Prime Days underway, we have been sharing some of our favourite home, travel, preparedness, and lifestyle products on our Instagram account, and will continue to do so through the remainder of the sale.

These items are not random finds. They are products that have already earned a place in the Acuity Advantage Lifestyle Shop on our website after being carefully selected. These items are owned/used by our team members.

If you have ever wondered what products we recommend, now is the perfect time to check our Instagram stories.

If you are not already following us on Instagram, we invite you to join us there this week and explore our recommendations.

We have been working behind the scenes on something special, and we are excited to finally share *a small part* of it with you.

Acuity Advantage has a new homepage!

Over the past several months, we have been investing time into creating a website experience that better reflects who we are, the clients we serve, and the wide range of services we provide. Our goal has been to create a space that is as professional, welcoming, and thoughtful as the services we deliver each and every day.

We would love for you to take a look and let us know what you think.

Visit: https://acuityadvantage.com/

And this is just the beginning.

We are currently working on several additional pages and resources that will continue to expand and enhance the Acuity Advantage experience. We look forward to sharing more sneak peeks with you in the coming weeks.

Thank you for being part of the journey.

A special note from Sandi this Father's Day:

Today I’m remembering my dad, Sgt. Ross Desmond Stoddart, who proudly served 25 years in the Canadian Armed Forces, Armoured Corps. He passed in 2011, but his presence and influence are still felt every day.

His strength, discipline, and quiet resilience shaped so much of who I am today. His legacy lives on in the values he passed down and in the memories that still make me smile. I was his buba… and without question, his favourite (at least that’s how I remember it :).

I’m also incredibly grateful for the amazing fathers in my life. My husband, my son, my sons-in-law, my brother, and the close friends in my life who lead as incredible fathers, showing up every day with strength, humour, and unwavering love.

Fatherhood takes many forms, but at its heart, it is about presence. I’m fortunate to be surrounded by men who embody that so well.

Happy Father’s Day
