Councillor's Corner - Nov 2020

Dear Resident,

COVID-19 infection rates are on the rise, and we need to try our best to prevent exposure in order to stay healthy.

There have been more mobile, pop-up testing clinics dates recently, including one at the nearby Gord and Irene Risk Community Centre. I worked with the Board of Health to ensure that we continue to provide these opportunities. Testing needs to be readily available to support individuals and families in our area. We must maximize the use of all public facilities to give communities what they need to conquer this virus.

The holiday season will look different this year, but we must work together to follow public health officials’ rules and guidelines. They want to keep us safe.

I want to remind everyone that you should only socialize with people you already live with, this includes holiday dinners. Please stay in touch with family and friends outside of your home via phone call or virtual connection. Check-in on loved ones, but do not compromise anyone’s well-being. Remember, we will get through this together.

From my family to yours, I wish you a pleasant and joyful holiday season. Merry Christmas.
