Re: Renovations to the Terrace West Entrance and Bistro Area
We are starting a renovation project for the Terrace West entrance lobby and bistro area on Thursday, March 7th. We are anticipating completing the project by Thursday, March 28th.
The summary of the project and timeline are below. Please note that the timeline may require some flexibility.
The following are direct impacts to our staff, residents, and visitors:
Thursday, March 7: No access to TW laundry room for this day only
Thursday, March 7, evening and overnight: Elevator and front entrance is emergency use only (available again after 5:00am on Friday morning)
Friday, March 8, evening and overnight: New lobby flooring installed (front door and elevator are able to be used during this time)
The coffee and juice machine will be unavailable during this project.
The fridge for saved lunches will temporarily be in the hallway near the hair salon.
Recreation staff can continue to be reached by phone 604-851-7394 while access to their current office is unavailable.
Thank you for your patience and cooperation during this project. Stay safe.
