Olympic Planning - Update

Thank you to everyone for their feedback in regards to the Olympics! After considering everyone's comments and after attending a presentation about road closures and business concerns during the event, we will be staying open and continuing to deliver during the two weeks. Deliveries may come earlier in the day than usual, both because we expect to be making slightly fewer deliveries as some of our members expect to go on hold, and to make getting around as easy as possible for our delivery drivers.

There is one exception to our 'business as usual' plan: We will not be able to deliver to downtown Vancouver. Road closures, security measures, and the number of venues will make it impossible. When the Olympics are closer, we will ask our downtown members to choose whether they would like to go on hold, receive their deliveries to an alternative address (if, for example, they have friends or family outside of downtown who would accept delivery), or pick up their bins at our warehouse.

We will keep you up-to-date on any other developments, and we continue to welcome any feedback or questions on the Olympic delivery schedule.
