It is the hope that once open we will be able to provide a consistent level of service and standards and would not want to rush to open before we can guarantee this and risk further closures. </div><div dir="auto" style="animation-name: none !important; transition-property: none !important; font-family: inherit; text-align: start;">We would like to take this opportunity to say thank you to those that have been involved thus far there has been many hours of hard work and sweat to try to get the premises open and ready for the community and we value your patience as we continue the work. </div><div dir="auto" style="animation-name: none !important; transition-property: none !important; font-family: inherit; text-align: start;">This has not just been a wipe down and lick of paint job but a full renovation that has relied on a number of services and contractors from mainland as well as our local workforce. We hope that once we open you will feel the time spent waiting will be well worth it.(Posted by Anna)</div></div>
