Once again we have closed up shop for the year! The warehouse is silent and our hard-working team has taken off on a variety of holiday adventures. Most have gone home to their families, but hopefully they’re all getting outside and enjoying that beautiful Okanagan winter sunshine! The time off is very much deserved.
