We are now organizing material and preparing invoices, which will take us until the week of April 26th. Invoices will be sent by e-mail or Canada Post. While we cannot usually interrupt our work to answer phones, all calls and e-mails will be returned as soon as we can provide the information you are seeking. We ask for your patience as we continue to work within the health and safety protocols necessary to keep our staff and customers safe during the ongoing pandemic.
Local bidders please note that there will be no pickup at our offices until after May 21 if the Ontario Stay At Home order has been lifted by then. If you normally pick up from our office, we will hold your material. If you want to have your lots shipped to you, please contact us.
