● Meeting Hall Construction Update as of December 1, 2011

  1. The roofing is now being installed. We are using a roofing system that absorbs noise from airplanes to a barely audible extent.

  2. The City of Richmond is working on the water connection. This is to supply clean water to the building.

  3. Two street lampposts have been installed along the sidewalk. We are still waiting for BC Hydro to move the electric pole fronting our driveway.

  4. The steelworks for the second floor and the stairs are now being prepared and installation will start on Monday, December 5.
