A new poll conducted by the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce finds that Ontarians have a higher level of debt when compared to others living in the country.
The CIBC survey indicates approximately 74 percent of Ontario residents have some type of significant payment they have yet to take care of, compared to 72 percent nationwide.
Despite this high number, however, 63 percent report making “good progress” on lowering their debt, doing such things as making a lump sum payment, implementing a household budget or making a significant sacrifice in their typical spending behavior.
“Managing debt as part of their overall financial plan is top of mind for Ontario residents in 2011, and these latest poll results show that some progress is being made,” said Christina Kramer, executive vice president of CIBC. “Taking simple steps such as making an extra payment or implementing a budget for your family can make a positive difference in your long term plans for debt reduction.”
Something else that may help Ontarians manage their bills more effectively is greater organization, as some payments may be misplaced due to messiness, leading to delinquency. Cheap document storage may help solve this problem, as bill statements can be paid off in an efficient manner.

As the current state of our world continues to evolve in response to the COVID – 19 Pandemic, Jiffy Self-Storage is taking every precaution necessary to do our part in the fight against it. As we are sure most of you are aware, the Government of Ontario is ordering the closure of all non-essential businesses effective Wednesday March 25th 2020. Although Jiffy Self-Storage is not on the list of businesses that can remain open, we will continue to operate, albeit, in a more limited capacity.
Despite the closing of our offices, to conform to City directives, we are very well set up to book a unit for you over the phone Without any in-person interaction. Self-Storage has few common areas and we sanitize surfaces regularly.
The safety of our tenants, staff and everyone who comes and does business here is our highest priority. Therefore, we ask that you please limit your visits, during this mandatory closure, as much as possible and that if you must come to the facility, you do so only if you have no symptoms. Please do not come if you feel sick in any way.
Our staff has been and will continue to Sanitize commonly contacted surfaces several times a day. Remember to perform Social Distancing should you meet someone in a hallway if you come to access your unit. This includes no hand shaking and keeping at least 2 meters from one another. Jiffy Self-Storage will maintain our cleaning staff’s hours and storage managers will maintain a presence on the premises to ensure the facility is safe and secure.
Access to the building and premises for current tenants will continue unimpeded, (7 days a week from 7am to 10pm) However, our Office will be closed to the Public for the duration of the Citywide mandatory closure.
