香蕉视频直播淵ou香蕉视频直播檒l see things start to take shape there but we don香蕉视频直播檛 have a date for Hydro,香蕉视频直播 she said.

香蕉视频直播淭o be honest, we香蕉视频直播檙e hitting a bottleneck point. We香蕉视频直播檝e been running fairly short-staffed of late due to illness. We still have a lot of irrigation and landscaping to do after the contractor pulls out.

Once the washroom is delivered to the area, Wiebe added staff will have to come up with plans for wheelchair accessibility, which will then help the space come together.

She also said a major part of the setback for the project was waiting for which pieces come first and what can be done about them when they come.
