Building Renovations May- August 2009
Our building is being renovated. This will take up to four months. There will be mess and parking problems. We will be open through all of this bother. Parking is available at the west end of the building and don't forget you can get here easily by Skytrain. See Renovation Progress for updates on what's happening.
