Due to tightening of COVID-19 restrictions, this year's Granite Farms Estates Train Room Open House was limited to two visitors at a time and restricted to Independent Living residents; no guests. A sign-up sheet was provided by Jan B, Director of Life Engagement. Between the hours of 15:00-17:00, there were eight 15-minute slots, allowing 16 visitors per day over four days.

We had 57 visitors, including some walk-ins and folks who came on the wrong day or at the wrong time. However, it all worked out for all those who wanted to see the GFE Train Room.
