If it's spring, just put some benches out on the lawn. That should hold things together until next fall.

Let the cutting commence....
In a statement to CBC, a spokesperson for Treasury Board President Anita Anand reiterated that departments should aim to make savings through "natural attrition," without "compromising programs and services."
"Wherever possible, they must focus on finding these savings without layoffs," the spokesperson said, adding that this was not comparable to austerity measures introduced under the former government of Stephen Harper.
But memos sent to staff at various departments indicate that layoffs may be possible. Canada Revenue Agency told its staff in a memo Thursday that "difficult decisions" would need to be made as it looked to cut costs as it transitions away from pandemic operations.
The agency said it was introducing restrictions on hiring and non-critical overtime, and said "additional measures may be required … as this is an evolving situation."
Likewise on Wednesday, the Justice Department sent its staff a memo announcing cuts to its salary budget.
"Our objective is to achieve savings through natural attrition to the greatest extent possible to minimize the impact on employees," it said, without ruling out redundancies.
