The Glen Oven Cafe is operating as normal and provides the Tea Room with breads and a few other baked goods. This is a busy year for the couple, with their first baby on the way and running their second business but they are thrilled with the amount of support they have received from family, friends and loyal customers. "We are so overwhelmed by how supportive patrons of the Tea Room have been in encouraging us on our new venture. Customers have donated Tea Cups, Royal Dishware and Tea Pots which makes us realize how lucky we are to have great customers and operate a business in this community." says Steven "Local business owners of the main street have been so welcoming and helpful". The Glen Oven Tea Room is a true reflection of Jenny and Steven's British roots.

The past year has gone quickly for local residents Dr. Evan Freeman and Dr. Kara Gray, who took ownership in February 2012. They had already spent several years at the clinic so becoming owners was a natural progression. Together with Drs. Jessica Trites, Amanda Frank and Jeanne-Marie Palermino, they feel fortunate to have generations of Halton families passing through the door. "We love getting to know families and their pets over the years," says Dr. Kara. Dr. Evan agrees, "When I meet new clients, I look forward to creating the same relationship we enjoy with those who have known us for 20 or 30 years."
