Let the Fun Begin....  About 100 people attended the User Friendly pre-demolition party, in the old home on the site, January 1999.  In addition to potential industry associations, trades and product sponsors, the neighbours came along to see what it was all about and partake of the delightful buffet served by the "Out to Lunch Bunch" and the music of a clasical guitarist. 
The old house was decked out with festive party balloons and a sprinkling of glitter on the old hardwood floors.  A firelog burned merrily in the old fireplace and additional heaters and lights were provided through the generosity of BC Gas and BC Hydro.   Since there was no plumbing, a deluxe porta-john, complete with running water,   was brought in to handle life's little necessities.  
The rain was pouring outside but we all had a wonderful time examining the proposed plans for the User Freindly Demonstration home to be built on this site and discussing the future of residential housing and an aging population.
