Due to weather conditions we are cancelling Soup Du jour tomorrow Wednesday 15th January

Philosophers’ Café Tonight Cancelled

Given the predictions for heavier snowfall later today, and some reluctance among members, it’s been suggested that we cancel our session tonight. Please pass this information on to others. This may confirm suspicions that we are westcoast wimps, alas.

The cold and snow has settled in a bit early this year.  

A quick phone call or drop-by to your single senior neighbours to see how they are coping might be much appreciated.

If you have an idea for a story or item of interest, or an ad or changes to your ad, let us know.

Forbes Hall Expansion Notice

The Information meeting that was proposed for Saturday, January 18th, has been postponed until early February.

This is due to proceeding with a redesign of the Assembly Hall.  

After several members stepped up to assist with the project following both the November 16th, and December 8th meetings, ideas for the redesign came forward. 

This will create significant cost reductions. We will share the new design/plan with the community as soon as it is completed.

As well, we want to share with you a newly developed timetable/schedule for the project which is not yet complete, due to the above. 

It only makes sense to postpone to a later date to accommodate these new developments.

A fuller, general update regarding the project will be sent out early next week.

We thank you for your patience as the plan gets redeveloped.

Sincerely,

Ann Dickie
