Building and Grounds

• Chinese Church is working on plans for reopening.
• High speed internet is installed in the office, but installation needs to be completed and cables run to the rest of the building.
• Heating and ventilation system in the main building has been inspected. It is the original one installed in the building 60 years ago, and it is not likely to last much longer.  It is OK for COVID-19 safety ventilation with doors and windows open, but will need filtration when there is smoke from fires.  We are pursuing further consultations and estimates, and we are considering getting portable ventilators which can then be moved to the Religious School building when the main heating is replaced.
