James Bay Inn Social Media Update
Starting October 31st Facebook will begin removing the “Notes” feature from business facebook pages. As such our current notes, Welcome To Our Facebook and Contest Rules will not be available in the coming days. The removal of these notes will not change our vision of promoting a friendly, informative and enjoyable experience on all of our digital media spaces.
