Considering the recent outbreak of the Covid-19 Pandemic, our office will be closed to the general public at this time,
all correspondence can be done via phone or email. I may not have all the answers, but I will do my best.
With our Exhibition months away, we are remaining positive and are continuing the planning of the 2020 South Shore Exhibition.
Some events that are booked will be looked at on an individual basis and decided on whether we will need to postpone or cancel said event.
Storage customers will all be contacted by phone to set up a time for removal of your vehicle, please be patient and wait for that phone call from our office.
I ask that you all take care of yourselves, and if possible, reach out to those who are alone at this time. I also ask that you all follow the advice and direction of public health officials, by doing so, you will decrease your risk of this virus, and we can get things back to normal.
Thank you for understanding at this time and please wash your hands.
Sincerely
Jeanette Penney
