Debugging

Our apologies. Over recent weeks, the office has obtained some new software that ‘in theory’ will make it easier for the entire staff to share documents and give us the ability to save documents more securely. Theories, as we know, don’t always work in the real world. Since April 11, we have had a number of issues with our email accounts and some of our software. We think we have
most of the bugs worked out, but if you have sent an email in the last while and not received a reply, please let us know by calling 204-784-1330. Thanks for your patience and understanding — Sherri, Marilyn, Michael and Nathan.
