Although we like to be optimistic that things will be back to normal soon, we have already experienced a number of delays on projects because of the coronavirus.
We completely understand when projects hit delays beyond our control, but it’s also a good opportunity to take advantage of the lower interest rates and build now if you do have a build on the horizon.
In order to generate immediate sales we are offering free shipping throughout North America.

We wrote yesterday about the cancellation of the Green Living Show in Toronto this weekend due to measures being taken to stem the spread of COVID 19. We now know that the Ottawa Home & Garden Show has followed suit.
These are not postponed events, they are full cancellations, meaning they will not occur at all in 2020.
We do not yet have a statement about the Ottawa Cottage Life & Backyard Show, scheduled for mid-April. We assume it too is likely to be cancelled, but will confirm here when we know. Updated to note: this show has now also been cancelled.
Finally, we will obviously keep a close eye on developments and the latest guidance on gatherings in determining whether it makes sense to continue with our planned EkoModel Open House in late April.
In the meantime, best wishes to everyone. Stay healthy.
The organizers of the Green Living Show have decided to cancel in the face of the latest developments and guidance around Covid 19.
We will very much miss seeing folks in Toronto, and hope we may get the chance to gather in this way again in the not too distant future.
