would be appreciated.

Hi Bloomfield Residents,
We wanted to provide the community with a long overdue update on The
Narrows Public House at 2720 Gottingen.
We were hoping to provide a progress report earlier than this but as you
can imagine, Covid and the related economic restrictions, in particular in
the hospitality industry, really hampered an already challenging project.
Nonetheless, we are forging on and have tried to find any silver linings we
can. After being forced out of work due to restrictions, we took over all
general contracting duties for the project and have been onsite working
everyday to try and keep the project viable and progressing, however
slowly.
That said, we have gained some traction as of late and are preparing to
accelerate the construction schedule over the next 4-6 months in an effort
to finally open our doors to the community for good. As work ramps up,
there will be more activity happening at the property, including the
installation of a new steel staircase on the back of the house as required
by fire code, mechanical ventilation work, electrical upgrades,
landscaping, and the like.
As always, we wanted to let our immediate neighbours and the rest of the
community know of this upcoming work and welcome any questions or comments
as we move towards completion of the construction. With the exception of
the staircase and some ventilation/electrical, the majority of the work
will still be contained within the house. That said, if there are any
concerns now or throughout the construction, don't hesitate to send us an
email or stop by the house, as we're here everyday and happy to chat.
Thanks as always to the community members who have supported us over the
years and continue to do so. Your continued encouragement certainly helps
keep us looking towards the light at the end of the tunnel. We can't wait
to have you all in the house, sharing in food, drink and great
conversation. In a time of heightened restrictions, it is important to have
spaces close to home where people of all ages and backgrounds can still
feel comfortable coming together and maintaining a sense of community and
connectedness. We look forward to providing such a space.
We will keep you up to date on our timelines as construction continues to
progress.
Kind Regards,
Myles & Tyson
