RENOVATION UPATE

​Another month. Another update. These will come at least monthly, sometimes more frequently. The intent is to keep you current with the state of the renovation project as it unfolds. You can also access the latest information on our website: https://www.vbchurch.ca/building The Building Team Since the last update, there have been a ton of meetings to move this project along.
Although the project is not overly complex, working in a 60-year-old building adds some complications. In particular, the mechanical system has become challenging. Our current heating system in the basement is inadequate (which we knew) but viable solutions are not immediately clear. Both Brighton Projects and the VBC Building Team are working hard to find workable solutions within the project parameters. More information will be available in the coming weeks. But rest assured, the VBC Building Team is doing an amazing job. Wherever we land, we will land well. Despite the delays, several important dates are now clear:

Sunday, May 17 is the last day to claim items that we are giving away   for free. These items are in the NW classroom in the Basecamp area (labelled Donations).

Saturday, May 23 will be moving day. This will entail moving everything we want to keep to the gym and everything we don’t want somewhere else—Goodwill or the garbage. People with pick-up trucks are needed. Anyone over six years old is welcome. The goal is to empty the entire basement. A food truck will be onsite to provide free lunch for all volunteers. Please join us any time after 9:00 AM for our version of an Armish barn raising. Work hard. Eat well. Deepen friendships.
